There [i]are[/i] some improvements, however what you consider an improvement may not be what I consider one. For instance, there's and improved UI which I think looks a lot cleaner. The shields on enemies is a lot more noticeable. However, I'm not very fond of that one even though others are. I find the sound mix for the Crucible to be a huge improvement. Now it could be on par with some of the more serious Multiplayer Shooters. However, this is all subjective because people's idea on what an improvement is is their own opinion. Was there anything different that you noticed that you liked or didn't like at all?
