Active Camo will easily cloak its user, but its effect does not completely extend to items in the user's possession; [[Human]] [[weapons]] are easily cloaked, but Covenant weapons are visible even with Active Camo, as the light-bending energy cannot mask the glow of the weapons' plasma. In Halo, however, plasma glow is hidden quite well by the powerup. | Active Camo will easily cloak its user, but its effect does not completely extend to items in the user's possession; [[Human]] [[weapons]] are easily cloaked, but Covenant weapons are visible even with Active Camo, as the light-bending energy cannot mask the glow of the weapons' plasma.

Though Active Camouflage is quite effective from a distance, it can faintly be seen if an observer is close enough to the wearer. However, it is difficult to spot a camouflaged opponent from a distance using a scoped weapon -- actual physical proximity is required to reliably spot a person using Active Camo. It should be noted, though, that Active Camouflage does not mask environmental effects such as footprints, meaning that it is not as effective on soft terrain (such as the snow found in ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s {{Levelname|Snowbound}} and {{Levelname|Avalanche}} [[Multiplayer]] maps). | Though Active Camouflage is quite effective from a distance, it can faintly be seen if an observer is close enough to the wearer.
