Well, a guy showed some over at HIH, and he had permanent active camo going. The hex showed "active_camo_cheat_on". It happens when you're the Master Chief and you have Active Camo (from the Envy skull) activated through a checkpoint. Save and quit after the checkpoint, reboot the xbox and play. You'll have permanent camo for the level. Makes finding skulls as Master Chief a lot easier.. makes Legendary a lot easier.
Now, on IWHBYD, when you have the active camo permanently and you have the unnamed Armory skull activated, the Elites see you, talk trash to you, but don't shoot you. They look at you a lot, and they follow your silhouette/shadow - they follow you. It can be a pain to deal with when they have swords and there's 7 of them running around after you.
However, if you're on the last wave, and there's only 1 Elite left wielding a sword, and you lose the camo since you picked up Envy before going for the skull, and you were using a save with permanent camo, the Elite might not see you at all. I haven't tried to repeat to make sure it holds true, but on the 5th wave I've lost the camo and tried to go through the wave. The ones with scoped weapons saw me right away.
