In Response To: Re: Elites glass sheilds in Infinite Succor (Bry)
: From what I have been able to make out from the artwork, its actually the
: sword changed into a shield. One second he has two swords, the next a
: sword and shield, hence it would be plasma rather than glass.
: On some of the panels, especially on page 52, you can also see the basic
: shape of the sword in the centre of the shield.
: So the general conclusion I've come to is that despite such a feature not
: being in the games, the Covenant energy sword may be dual purpose.
I was thinking it was projected out of the forearm. In the old E3 2000 vid the red elite uses a similar (albiet larger) shield which is projected from its forearm. I think the sword outline shown is just the sword still in his hand.
