Low quality sound in cutscenes

[ZenMN]

I really enjoyed the campaign of this game, fantastic (despite a few blips in the flow of the story telling).

 

One thing that really bothered me however was those sounds in the cutscenes. Mostly explosions/background noises that sounded like absolute CRAP. Example:

When the chief crashes the ghost after the jump

 

 

They sounded like they were compressed to hell, almost like they were free wav clips they found online.

 

Maybe it was for performance/disk space reasons......but it really killed the immersion for me, since the audio in Halo has always been absolutely top notch.
