The Halo trilogy has even shown that across games, exact colour of armour associated with particular ranks can change. In ''Halo: Reach'', Bungie gave the Elites a new plethora of armour styles to identify them. As it happened, the Elite Major's red armour was given an orange tint. Possibly to make it easier to distinguish the new Zealots, which are of a similar red hue to that of previous ''Combat Evolved'' era Majors. | The Halo trilogy has even shown that across games, exact colour of armour associated with particular ranks can change.

If the term Officer is synonymous to the term Major, then Trooper can likewise be synonymous to Minor. Which is supported by the usage of the word Trooper as a term for lower-echelon infantry in both Stealth Sangheili and Spec Ops ranks. What's interesting now | If the term Officer is synonymous to the term Major, then Trooper can likewise be synonymous to Minor. Which is supported by the usage of the word Trooper as a term for lower-echelon infantry in both Stealth Sangheili and Spec Ops ranks. What's interesting now if we look back to Spec Ops ranks and their present terminology of Trooper and Officer, is that in essence, they're the Elite Minor and Elite Major of the Special Operations. | ||
Yet I must digress, because unless the word Trooper came from a game, strategy guide, novel, an online field guide, ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'' or any other creditable source, it would appear that Trooper was a term created by Halopedians. In militaristic terms it is of course very befitting, but at the same time unfortunately, it is not at all official. If anyone can source usage of the term Trooper for lower-echelon infantry, please message me. I presume we use the term Trooper on the wikia for a good reason, but I'd feel better if there was proper citation for it. | Yet I must digress, because unless the word Trooper came from a game, strategy guide, novel, an online field guide, ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'' or any other creditable source, it would appear that Trooper was a term created by Halopedians.
