The Active Camo in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' has undergone many major changes. It is now available as an [[Armor Abilities|Armor Ability]] to both Spartan and Elite players. As a side-effect when used, it jams the radar of the user and all enemies within 25 meters, allowing them to figure out where the user is located while also making it easier for the user to be ambushed by an enemy attack. It does not affect the radar of allies. The Active Camo also greatly reduces the volume of all sounds for its user, making it difficult to notice a grenade being thrown or a nearby enemy firing a weapon. When moving faster than crouch-walking speed, the Active Camo cloaks the user only partially but does not affect the amount drained. The freedom for the player to control when they activate their camouflage makes it much more effective, as it allows for use in the most opportune situations, instead of restricting the player to activate it on pickup. However, the reduced hearing and radar jamming effects require the player to be aware of his surroundings at all times. <ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=26366 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo: Reach Beta Survival Guide '']</ref> | The Active Camo in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' has undergone many major changes.

The Active Camo also greatly reduces the volume of all sounds for its user, making it difficult to notice a grenade being thrown or a nearby enemy firing a weapon. However, this aids a cloaked player with a sniper, so long as he is on campaign, as it filters out the distracting sounds of Marine, Noble Team, Covenant and civilian comments.
