You misunderstand. In every Halo 3 screenshot, there have been no "decorators". These are the trees, rocks, shubs, moss, etc. that make a place look real. Don't confuse them with the texture of the ground (the "painted on" look of the ground you've seened in the alpha screenshots).
Basically - the update explained one of the reasons why some of the screenshots you've seen so far look a little "barren"... the thing that makes them not barren hasn't been enabled before now. That, and the lighting wasn't final, the atmospherics weren't there, the sky wasn't really there, etc.

i hear in the update the grass looks photorealistic but thats the prob it should look like actual grass not a photo of grass layed out on the floor
Plus the water, don't forget franky's water lol. So from what i've understood from what you have said, it they add foam on the water or some seaweed those are decorators. Oh.. also i think that if there's going to be moss in halo 3 it would also be cool for there to be plants such as thistles and blackberries; that would be totally cool.
