I figured out games have a "rain box" when I was eight years old and playing Need For Speed Underground 2. Like come on, it's clear they don't render rain throughout the entire game world.

it's usually attached to the camera though. this zoom out thing is weird and bad.

It's bad, but usually a result of really aggressive culling and the likes. Quite a few older games have a really small rain box not attached to the camera for performance reasons, and if you play the game in widescreen you can see it.

But yeah it's really weird to see a modern game using a set rain box not attached to the camera, I agree
