This bit from the CryEngine docs seems close to what I was thinking of:http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDOC3/Using+Decals+for+Destroyed+Structures.

This kind of thing happens all the time (I think). I can't help but think of Aliens:Colonial Marines since that was when I really noticed people getting angry over it. This video shows some quick comparisons of the demo footage versus the final footage, if I recall correctly the demo was even built on a different engine…
