hi, im sure were all aware that elites come in ranks as you can tell by there colour and weapons etc. But i havent as yet been able to figure out which ones are which, also i didnt see a white elite in halo 1 but hes in halo 2 so is he low or high ranking? cheers for any replies.

well

I'm thinking that this is how it goes



Gold = Commander
Light Blue, Black, [EDIT]: White = Spec Ops.
Maroon = "Field Master"
Blue = soldier

^^I'm not 100% sure about this^^, but I suggest reading the books.

Ranks can be determined by going toe-to-toe with one on Legendary, melee only, and seeing how fast you die!
Blue is lowest, then red, then white/blue (active camo), then black, then gold.
Rank determines how powerful they are, and also what skills they have - blue and red are similar and use similar guns (needler/plasma rifle)/drive vehicles, white use active camo and sometimes plasma swords, black throw more grenades and gold can use swords or fire plasma rifle on full-auto.

Blues are infantry soldiers with standard training, if they can't defeat you, they will retreat to lead you into a trap of grunts and jackals to finish you off. Reds are used to guard designated areas and will almost never retreat. White elites (cloaked) are used as amature assasins. Black elites are special ops elites and are only called in when the $hit hits the fan. (like the navy seals of the covenant) The Golden elites are used to guard areas with shear power. They only are called in to gaurd or take control of important areas. Such as underground entrance to the silent cartographer as in the video when you hit the security over-ride panel.
