Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals.

Looks like it. They're pretty easy to kill, Bungie probably wanted to make them a bit tougher.

I think what your referring to is the new ODST vision feature(don't remember what it was called off the top of my head).

If it looks like a duck, its probably a moose.

But seriously, yes they have energy shields. They're not gonna disable their shields just because some n00b(in comparison to Master Chief) comes along.

It would seem like it, which leads me to believe that in Halo 2 when Cortana said -

"They don't have shield generators, quick, take them out before they-"

And then she got cut off as the Brute went beserk. I asummed she would say beserk, but perhaps she was talking about them switching on shields.

Man cave.

They aren't supposed to have shields though. They are supposed to have armor plating that falls off.

POWERED armor plating. Once the plating is gone, no more shields. If you removed Master Chief(or any Spartan for that matter) from his suit, he wouldn't have energy shields either.

It falls off AFTER you take their sheilds out. Did you even play Halo 3 campain?

Is that a serious question? Their shields aren't supposed to light up.
Armor and energy shields are different things just to let you know.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Exactly like Halo 3's, only cooler.
