''Why you looking at me?''

Elites go into battle with shielding, all different shields, but...

if i gave a grunt a shield it would have the same stuff a elite can do,

if i took the elites shield off them, there the same as a grunt, except wack

But you have to take into account that elites are breed to be warriors and grunts were not. It would be the same as giving a nice set of armor from say a spartan to a civilian with no training. All in all, shields and armor dont make the warrior better, its what the warrior does with them that makes it count.

True, this would improve the grunts a bit, but elites are bred to be warriors. They are trained to be killers from birth in their keep. Grunts on the other hand, are made to be cannon fodder. A shield wouldn't offer much help. The only real difference would be that you would need two taps of the B button instead of one to snap their little necks.
