if you read the books the enginneers are purple blobs(if i remember correctly) and they are i think up to your waist in tallness. they take apart things really fast and then put them back together such as cars in the books to understand technology and they also at one point fix mc's armor

The engineers would be so boring to kill....They wouldn't attack you or anything.....Actualy that might be kind of cool.

Engineers are more about the size of a human, not just up to yuor waist. Look at some of the screenshots of them. You'll see what I mean.

Well, I dont think bungie will include any aliens that are boring to kill, if anything they might be the most fun to kill, you never know. Or u could be right...lol

at halo.bungie.org there are some pics of engineers that never made it into the game. they were obtained by someone hacking into his copy of halo. they dont have any animations, and they dont move or anything, but they WERE gonna be in the game, and they ARE deep inside the halo code.

That isn't an engineer, it's an early flood form from the pc versoin of halo (which looked damn cool by the way a shame....).

There are a few pictures of Engineers. They're not screenshots though. I'll try to find a link to one. Anyway, I'm hoping the Engineers will help MC out like they did in First Strike.

Oh, and that pick posted above is an Engineer. That is what they look like.

What I posted is an early engineer, not a flood.

Another engineer (note that it looks exactly like the one I posted before).

Those are pictures of the Covenant Engineer, not a Flood. The description of the Engineers in the Halo novels fits with the the creatures in the pictures. Engineer. Not Flood.

Also, the new alien is not Covenant. All slots are filled in the Covenant. There are seven races, and there will be no more because Bungie loves the number seven. If you asked them to pick a number between one and ten, they'd pick seven. If you asked them to pick a number between 100 and 200, they would still pick seven. Point is, unless the new alien is a female hunter with pms, it is not part of the covenant.
