it's something small, but I figured it was worth posting it up
You figure anything is worth posting... Noble Team wearing socks would be of paramount importance for you to post had you found the slightest clue pointing toward it...
So true....Look at the bandolier thread or the retcon thread. No discussion to be had there other than 'hey look at this, it's a thing'.
On topic, the pattern could be more representative of Forerunner shield tech. The concept of a bubble shield was first introduced in Halo 3 (with an earlier iteration in Reach) as ONI tech. Ultimately it seems as though that concept was, like with the Mk V shields, reverse engineered by the Covenant's own bubble shield technology which was shown in Halo Wars. Following the logic train, it is extremely likely then, that the design of the shield is ultimately that of Forerunner design. Imitative not innovative...the Covenant's theme... That said, perhaps the detail alludes more to a Forerunner concept rather than the Covenant, perhaps a play on the concept of a Shield World or other Forerunner shield concepts.
