Higher Res Bump Maps - New Addition or From Legacy Xbox?
Something I wasn't entirely clear on is the inclusion of higher resolution bumpmaps for certain models and textures. Were these taken from the Xbox version or are these brand new?

Halo 2 Vista included more detailed bump map textures for a number of weapons, I would hazard a guess to say those are the textures being used by the mod.

It's a bit strange though because the MCC version of Halo 2 originally used the H2V textures, but the big Halo 2 fixes update a few years ago restored the OG Xbox versions, so I'm not sure why they were reverted back to the less faithful Vista textures with this mod which is going for 1:1 Xbox parity visuals.

I'd assume because they look good and match the game's look already, plus the game is being run at up to 4K on modern displays. So the higher res bump maps would look nicer.
