Bungie didn't figure on perma-cammo. It's not the AI's fault, they can't see you or your vehicle (when you are in it). Heh, you have ultimate stealth.

The cammo was initially going to be in the game. The hex code has a reference to 'Turn cammo on" (or something like that) but they decided against it. Then they took out the 'Turn cammo off' but forgot to take out the 'Turn cammo on' part.

Edit: I should add that you should try using the Armory skull (unknown), the AI will know where you are at all times. Shoot a shot at them and they will fire right at you. Uncanny!

Just to add info, the unnamed skull's effect increases the AI in the game, so the enemy is more responsive to your actions, whether they be footsteps, reloading sounds, or shooting at them, ect.

Ally AI only seem to get a slight boost, as they won't attack enemies with the assasins skull effect.

True that

Edit: I forgot to add that if you have perma-cammo and Assassins on it's kinda lame sometimes. Both sets of AI just stand around doing nothing, but if you harm an enemy the Marines will shoot and then with Armory on the Covenant AI shoot back so the situation can erupt into a good firefight sometimes. If you stay out of the way it's fun to just spectate.

Another edit: My bad, it's not the Marines that get affected by Assassins (durp). All Covenant AI are affected and on the levels where Covenant AI face off to each other it can be lame until someone starts shooting. For instance, the battle at the end of Gravemind.
