Now, one thing (amongst many) that got on my nerves in Halo 4 was how pathetic the explosions looked. Now in 5 they do look better… But they’re nothing like Halo 2 Anniversary’s campaign explosions. They are probably the best explosions I’ve seen in Halo. I know it’s just a beta and the graphics aren’t final, but when it is, I’d like the explosions to look as -Yoink!- as H2A.
I think Halo 2 Anniversary’s explosions were too soft. That means their textures blended too much. The explosions need to have hard textures with shrapnel and contrast.
