They're black.
I guess these are spec ops elites. No this isn't on legendary and no modding. Even though it looks like I'm about to die, I fell from a really high place to get to these elites, so I don't suck. :)

Umm unless I'm horribly mistaken you see them in many places, often next to higher ranked grunts which have the fuel rods.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

You're right, they're spec-ops Elites.

I thought black ones were referred to as Commandos, Spec-Ops were white?

Correct as far as I know, but I never cared enough to pay attention.

The black ones were always Spec-Ops right? Same for grunts; only Half-Jaw was a white Spec Op.
In Halo 2 white ones were Ultras and Council Members.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Special_Operations_Officer Technically their called Spec-Ops Officers but are more commonly known as commandos

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

Get the official guide for PC or Xbox. I got it from a friend and it explains the different ranks in the right enemy section.

Micro is correct. The only reason Half Jaw is white is because he is not only a Spec Ops elite, but an Ultra as well due to his command over the Spec Ops.

We call them spec-ops. They'll only show up at the end of Keyes and the Maw. It looks like you dropped from the third level to the first one and wandered into one of the doors. You gotta stick'em when they aren't looking. Bastards tear you up on legendary.

They're Spec-Op Elites, good sir.

And I do believe at the end of the mission called "Keys", they appear on a drop-ship. And I distinctly remember them running in to the corridors at the bottom of the hanger after they're dispatched for some reason.

Spec-Ops <3

These Spec-Ops are hardcore mofos.

However, all Elites fail to survive against the epic PP + Sticky combo.

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

I like using both pistols or stickies against them, it's fun, and risky on legendary.
