I think the clip speaks for itself, but in case it's not known HRTF is only on footsteps and reloads. So the shots of the bucky from the viper are pretty reasonably in the direction of B Garage, but the reload sound is clearly in mid. This system needs like a beta tag or something, because being that innaccurate can easily be the cause for losing a round. The only reason I walked toward mid in the first place was because I heard another reload from the bucky in there earlier than the clip caught, but she was probably garage. (also I wasn't looking at my minimap to see jett saw the viper in garage, and at that point it was clear we had the round lol)
