With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
A few things:
1.) There are only two types of Jackal Shields: Blue, and Orange (Orange is Yellow, or Red, depending on what your eyes see).
2.) Blacks are Special Operations. They are veterans, but more specifically, they're Spec. Ops.
3.) Saying "minor" and "major" for blue and maroon Elites, orange and red Grunts, and the Jackals is much more accurate than the "rookie" and "veteran" that I said. I'll admit, "veteran" is misleading when used for the maroons, since veteran is more of a general term, rather than a specific one.
4.) There really are no red or purple Elites. Its more of a maroon color. Some people see it as red, some as purple, but there is no difference.
5.) I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's a difference between Elites' Spade and Spiked helmets, as well as feather-top and non-feather-top for the Jackals. From playing, it seems that the Spades are a little weaker and dumber than Spikes. And I think the feather-tops are stronger and a little smarter than non-feather-tops. Again, I could be wrong.
6.) There's definitely a difference between rounded and pointed Grunt armors.
7.) Its a wee bit more accurate to say Cobalt for the stealth, or "Ossoona" Elites, rather than simply saying "invisible." I only say this because Zuka 'Zamamee in The Flood acutually wore an invisibility field generator with his black armor during the Covenant raid on Alpha Base (the butte).
