Command 343 Industries in the latest publication on the site Halo waypoint commented on “The Elephant in the Room” – a graphic that the Internet has been discussing for more than a week.
The developers even managed to get acquainted with two videos Digital foundrywhere lighting was blamed for a similar level of visual presentation. The method chosen by the authors of the shooter works if there is a light source in the frame, but if there is no light source, the game cannot correctly display shadows and other elements.

This will not be changed.

There is still a lot of work ahead, and there are several months before release. Based on the feedback, the developers are already implementing certain improvements.
