So apparently, according to "First Strike" we took the Covenant's shielding technology, and made it better, why is that some Elites, and even Brutes(Brute Hero, Halo Reach) have a much stronger shielding system even though we copied it and made it better?

Because Halo's difficulty system relies on making enemies harder to kill.

Because of gameplay...It's as simple as that.

No, we took a JACKAL shield. Elite shield systems self destruct explosively when being dismantled. And difficulty makes enemies tougher. Gameplay and Canon TOGETHER?! I should stop before Halo explodes.

"True Dat"

Do remember though, that at several points in the books an Elite's shields are wiped out by two-to-three bullets from an MA5- followed by one for the kill.
A Three-to-Five hit kill with an Assault Rifle.

However, a Spartan's shields- and their MJOLNIR armour- can deflect much more bullets. Plasma, however, would fry the shields near-instantly and proceed to burn holes in their armour.

The Elites are tough in the campaign for gameplay reasons.
