The Arbiter dosen't have a flashlight in halo 2, only an ability called "Active Camoflauge" that renders you invisible for a very short time. (The amount of time it last's changes with difficulty, meleeing or shooting, taking damabe, or even throwing a grenade disables active camo)

However, this ability can be very helpful in the game, offensively, or defensively, just take some time getting used to it, and you will master it.

Yep, throwing grenades does disable active camo.

Don't know about lower settings, but the cammo instantly drops when you initiate anything offense-wise on Legendary. Is a great thing to have though, once you find that balance of offensive/defensive use.

Is it the same for Envy with MC? I should stop using Blind, that's my lame excuse for not knowing.

yeah, the active camo for the MC works just like the Arbiter active camo. Still, the envy skull makes legendary a little easier to get past, particularlly in dealing with those snipers. (not talking about infinite camo)
