I dont know if this has been shown yet but ive found an early render of a covenent engineer alien. The way it looks will be familiar to those that have read the books.

No its not a flood. If you have read the books it is an engineer. We've heard and seen the prophet and the brute but in the new game informer it says theres gonna be another third Covenant form. I'm sure its gonna be the engineer. don't worry though they are harmless

I have read the books and even though it fits the description to some degree, I highly doubt that the picture of the creature there is an engineer.

I think it is a covenant engineer and I've read the books several times and even remember the description of them. It fits the description and looks harmless.

BOLL was the first to find that the Engineer code was actually left in Halo in spots. There was just enough that a lil modding allowed him to put them back into the Silent Cartographer.

And boom, they're purple floaty things with a lot of eyeballs.

I hope they include them in Halo 2, it looks like they'd make a great splat.

http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Halo/Gallery/PreXbox/pcgam er_3.jpg theres a link for anyone who has not found it yet. and if you look at the URL or even the pics around it you can see its pre Xbox so it couldn't be one. I imagine one to look like a small gray prophet

i dont think so, because anyone thats read the novels knows that its a floaty thing with tentacles held up with sacs of gas. They are also sopposed to have many eyes in rows like that.

well this is pre xbox so they might use some features from that I don't really see any eyes on that but whatever and I thought they floated around on something like the prophets those things just look like there floating "naturally"
