Holograms - Were they improved?

I’m new to Halo, but are the holograms initially fooling anyone else? Until the first shot when the hologram flickers, I’m drawn to them and then I find the real target. Plus I have seen people shoot out 3-4 holograms at a time. Is this a boost or how it’s supposed to be?

the holograms T-bag corpses
that’s all i have to say

They have been greatly improved. They show up as a red dot on your radar, the aim assist on them makes them seem like a legit enemy, and their appearance makes them appear like the enemy. I’ve fallen for it quite a bit, and I have made many others fall for it as well. It’s a lot more effective.
