Finally! Someone noticed the first energy shield.

I'd like to point out that the glowing pads on the inside of the arms of the Elites and those on the back of the lower leg go dark when the shield is depleted; perhaps these are likely to be the shield emitters? Diaboy 12:12, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge
Should be merged because its really a part of the armor and not a separate device, just like the Master chief's shields are part of his Mark 6 armor. The shield is formed by many small emitters embedded in the Elite Combat armor, so it should be on that page. -- EliteSpartan  My Talk   My Contribs  November 4 2007

It is a piece of equipment that is mounted on all elite armor if you want to merge you'll have to merge it with all the other elite armor articles too. i say no--The Demonic Idiot 05:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

no...not really. Have you read any of the Spartan armor permutation pages? Its never mention that they also have energy shield emitters. Only the MJOLNIR armor page talks about energy shields. Now that I think about it maybe they should mention that all armor perms have energy shielding too but thats another topic. --EliteSpartan  My Talk <font color="Black">My Contribs  21:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Recharge?
At the end of the article is a quote from one of the books, which seems to suggest the Elite's shielding is inferior. Thinking about it i don't recall Elite shields recharging in the books and a few times their shields are penetrated easily by single bursts, maybe the whole thing doesn't collapse but bullets get through. I know in the games the shields act the same as MC's, so is this just a game mechanic? --Classius 22:21, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
