Halo Infinite Demo Needs Textures

I believe the reason the graphics look so bad or cartoony as some people call it is because it just needs some textures. I think scratches on the weapons, in particular, really would make a night or day difference. I saw an artist apply some blur and scratching textures on the gun metal, and it brought the visuals up night and day. Do you guys think the demo just looked bad because it needed textures? What do you think?
