Talk:Energy sword (fiction): Difference between revisions
→Working with active camouflage/invisibility: canon or gameplay?

::Having revised ''Headhunters'' (both the short story and the motion comic), it seems that the Elite quickly activated his energy sword before it made contact with Roland. The novel version makes no mention of the sword as being cloaked. Also, when the scene shifts away from Jonah's view, we can see that the energy swords are not covered by the active camouflage: rather, the energy swords remain visible when activated by the Elites. With regards to Waypoint, the image used in that article is a gameplay image which is most likely not to be an accurate portrayal of an active camouflage as it is restricted to the game engine. The energy dagger in ''Halo: Reach'' comes to mind; even when not activated, the energy dagger remains "visible/active" in active camouflage. So, canon or gameplay? — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 12:39, 5 September 2015 (EDT) | ::Having revised ''Headhunters'' (both the short story and the motion comic), it seems that the Elite quickly activated his energy sword before it made contact with Roland.

:It may be a gameplay image, but I think they treat the picture as an accurate representation, being the main image on their page. Overall, I think it's risky to make a conclusive statement on the subject here without a conclusive statement from the makers. Who knows, maybe the camo in Halo 4 is an upgraded version from the wartime module that can now hide swords.
