Give your best guess for the next new Halo 2 character and we'll have a Poll. There is one rule when guessing: back up your guess with some sort of mumbo-jumbo (web site, wierd interpretations of the BUNGIE'S WEEKLY UPDATE, etc.) to at least have a remote chance at making the LIST.

Here's my two cents:

1) I heard some crazy rumor that there was going to be a new character called "Engineers" that will be something to reckon with---flipping vehicles and powerful-like guards of secret fortified alien technology. (I cannot find the post on the forum I saw, but there was a picture on Yahoo images it looked massive, it had tentacles and it was Ugg-ly!)

BUNGIE WEEKLY (probably misinterpreted) REFERENCE: "* I did a couple of small changes to the weapon/damage code to handle a bad guy too nuts for the existing systems. Nuts in the sense that he has CENSORED where death comes out of and two separate CENSORED. Oh yeah and he’s big and mean, kind of like a Tyrannosaurus."

WEB SITE FORUM: I couldn't find the post anymore
WEB SITE: Yahoo. Not found anymore.

2) This one is a shot in the dark, but I think it would rock solid if there were some Black Belt Ninjas armed with Shuriken (Ninja Stars), Samurai Swords and Nunchuks.

WEB SITE:
There was a Halo fan who recognized a building in Hong Kong (maybe giving it some Asian reference for part of an Earth level) on a Halo 2 poster see:
halo.bungie.org
and the keen reference by a Bungie rep. (who knows it could be a perverse translation):

REFERENCE THAT IS DISTURBINGLY TWISTED BY ME SO I CAN MIND-MELT BUNGIE STAFF INTO PUTTING THIS CHARACTER INTO THE GAME: "'Halo 2' is a lot like 'Halo', only it's 'Halo' on fire, going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone, being chased by helicopters and ninjas,"

3) The emergence of a feminine Spartan (Master Zelda???!!??). It could be possible to spice up the plot. Just think: blood, guts, and some one to share it with.

BOOK REFERENCE TO ANOTHER FOUND SPARTAN
BUNGIE GALLERY POST/CAPTION CONTEST

Who knows maybe one day one of your new characters could wind up in multiplayer:

Here's the list:
ENGINEERS
NINJAS
A MASTER ZELDA

Now let's get your new Halo 2 character predictions so I can make a poll!

Believe me, there will be no ninjas or a zelda. There may be a female spartan(s), either linda or kelly or both.

the new covenant that is said to be able to flip warthogs, like actually flip them, not like flippin them over just to get in it i say that it will be bigger than the hunter, speed of an elite, no gun only attacks by melee, very dumb, extremly hard to kill, slow, will destroy whatever is in there way (includin covenant), i think it will be called Org.

dumb name but eh who knows

[color=pink] engineers are the type of coevant that fix things and don't seem to care what the covenants cause is. They are a round floating pink bubble type thing with 2 small eyes and alot of tenticles with tiny fillaments on them to fix things. They are harmless and sure as hell can't flip a warthog. It is probably somthing like what arams_tank stated. and as for zelda and ninjas....hell no [/color]

Engineers would be a great incorporation into the game from their appearances in the novels, suggesting their highly-developed repair skills. Now that vehicles are fully destructible, why not have a counter-solution to what may soon emerge as a re-occuring disaster as your vehicles are blown out from under you? I won't even touch on your ridiculous claims at even slightly grasping any knowledge of the engineer's background and any other element of what may appear in Halo 2 for that matter. However, I would presume that other SPARTANs will appear in Halo 2 at some point or another, considering the gap left at the end of First Strike. Considering John was on his way to Earth with three other SPARTANs and Kelly was labeled MIA on some secret mission with Dr Halsey, undoubtedly it will mold the game experience in a whole different way.

Maybe an avatar ninja gives a clue to the next new character.

here is the image of a covenant engineer. it was going to be in the first halo but removed, hence its crappier graphics. anyway the engineer can't flip warthogs it says in the books that they are a 'peaceful' kind of race of something like that. ie in the game of halo 2 don't expect them to give you a lot of trouble

KEEP THE NEXT NEW HALO 2 CHARACTER LIST-OFF GOING. NAME UNTIL YOU PUKE!!!! (IT IS CONFIRMED ALREADY THAT A BRUTE IS GOING TO BE ADDED).

'Orgs' seem a lot like what I hear the Engineers are supposed to be and do. It's a good entry, but try and distinguish it more/back it up.

THE LIST SO FAR:
Engineer
Another Spartan
Ninjas
Orgs

THINK OF ALMOST ANY CHARACTER YOU COULD IMAGINE IN HALO 2, BACK IT UP WITH WEB FORUM RUMORS, BOOKS, PICTURES, ETC., AND POST IT.

Engineers
These creatures are not encountered in Halo, but they play a vital role in the Covenant hierarchy. While the Prophets guide, direct and manage Forerunner research, it is the Engineer caste who must excavate, unlock and transport Forerunner artifacts. These remarkable aliens are patient, almost completely silent and utterly focused on their task and its religious implications.
Their concentration has been described as "a trance-like reverie" by the few who have witnessed it. They communicate only with Prophets - a fact that may contribute to the balance of power between Elites and Prophets - and in fact will usually ignore anything that is neither a Prophet nor a Forerunner artifact. One observed exception to this fact is a high-pitched, keening wail that Engineers will emit should Forerunner objects or structures be threatened.
