@snowkeeper -
You'll find the graphics are more than 'paper-cutouts'. I'll direct you to:
Freeplay Mode > UNSC Shop > Works of Art section. Click the enemies and you'll find they are highly detailed drawings.
Thanks for playing. If you want a better gaming experience from me, try Vexation, my latest game.

 "Halo Galaxies 2"){kind=icon}
