in oxm they siad that th elites armor was able to defelct different weapons for example

Blue elite defelct:plasma
Red Elite defelct:battle rifle

and I also think that the aromor you choose defelct those ceratain attacks so it might work in mp of you choose blue armor as a design then it defelect a ceratain weapons/weapon so it would ad more in deepth into strategy. go post away I'll be gone a while with my gf anyway :]

I doubt it will. That would just horribly unbalance the game.

I could see different colored Elites in Campaign being more resistant to certain types of weaponry. Adds a bit to the strategy. It's not just "Oh it's a red, no problem" or "Oh -blam!-, a gold, HIDE". You'd have to think what to use more.

However, it'd be horrible for MP, and definately wouldnt be in there. People wanna be a color to be their favorite color and to have diversity, simple as that.

I wouldn't think so. that's like saying that if you paint a wall blue instead of red it'll suffer less damage if you hit it with a hammer.

also, there would undoubtedly be preferences. just imagine: gold suit-rocketproof; black suit:sniperproof. if you were stuck with a needleproof suit you'd feel crap

in the main game, color changes tell you how high an elite is in its caste and how good it is at fighting. think about it: if this happened in MP, the best player would get the best armour and the whole thing would become completely unfair.

yea, it is probably just the elites, make it more difficult, and to add stratagy into how to kill the covenant, MP wont be the sam eif that goes ahead, the Spartans will not have it, it is new Covenant Technology, y shud we have it, we may have it after ahlo 2 (if there is) as a sort of scientific break through using the covenant, like the shields on the mjolnir armour!

I hope not. That would suck. If you were a blue elite you'd walk out blam! and get dropped by a single BR shot.

With elites, their armor's color designates their rank. Different ranks have different armor, and that is why different elites can stand up to different weapons.
