If you play Halo 2, the level Delta Halo. The first part where you have to clear the landing zone or something, there will be a blue, or minor Elites. However, one of the minor Elites is carrying an energy sword! I thought minor elites were forbidden to use energy swords. Why is that? Am I colorblind or did I find an amazing discovery?

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

I'm not sure, but it is said that Minors and Majors cannot wield energy swords because it's too holy or someting. You can see a Major wielding it, however, in Delta Halo. And you can see a minor wielding it in the mission Regret. Each on easy, of course.

I think it says the thing about the minors in the Halo 2 instruction booklet, but I could be wrong.

No I know I read somewhere that minor Elites cannot wield energy swords because they are not experienced and holy enough or something. The order is Blue:minor, Red:Major: Uhhhh.. not sure but I'm guessing Gold:Ultra, and Whitish:Zealot.

Actually, the gold is the zealot, and the white is the ultra.

i don't know which are Minor or Major, but Gold is Zealot, and Whites are Ultra. or David Duke. Sorry. Anyway, yes, only Zealots or Ultras are allowed to, I think. Though it can't be a matter of skill, just religion. Doesn't matter. probably a weak egg or accident anyway. what about on The Arbiter? don't all your allies have swords?

Are you sure gold is zealot and white is ultra? I’ve met some zealots (one of the missions was to meet up with one) and it was white. I’ve also heard that gold is ultra which would probably fit.

Thats because all your allies are SpecOps I think.

No, it is made quite clear (somewhere) that white is Ultra and gold is Zealot.
