The Field Master is a lower title for Covenant Zealot Elites. Field Masters command entire armies of Legion or greater.
Rank
The Field Master[1] is equivalent to the UNSC Marine "General" or "Colonel.". Field Masters command entire armies, battalion strength or greater. Unlike human "Generals", Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, as in charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from a HQ miles away from the conflict. They are in charge of all warriors of any race within that army, as well as all armor, air support, and material utilized by that army. An example of this is Noga 'Putumee, who led forces against the humans on Installation 04.
Zealot Field Masters usually worked alone in both games. Waiting you for to kill everyone else, then they'd attack by themself. In Halo: Combat Evolved, Zealot Field Masters were a fairly common sight on any difficulty, usually guarding places of importantence. On average there were probably two to three Zealots on any one map. Although, Field Masters in Halo 2 were much more sneaky, and only appeared on Legendary.
Armor
The armor of a Field Master is like all Zealots - a gold or yellow color. It's possible that Ultras can attain this position, but they would wear the white Ultra armor.
Other Ranks
In Halo 2, during the levels Sacred Icon (Level) and Quarantine Zone (Level), the player comes across a band of elites being led by Rtas 'Vadumee. He appears to be the highest ranking elite there, before Arbiter (character) arrives, and thus probably would've had the title "Field Master".
However, it is also true that perhaps a Zealot was present at some other location, but never featured, and 'Vadumee's unit was merely a detachment of his (or perhaps 'Vadumee had a Zealot superior that was killed during the battle and thus he temporarily took over the role of field master).
The Arbiter could also be looked at as a rank that could potentially hold the title of Field Master. Councilors, should one of them ever decide to take part in military operations, would probably also hold the title of Field Master, even having Zealots being subordinate to them.
