Subject: Where are those sneaky engineers?

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

I've seen multiple screenshots of the Engineers in action on The Silent Cartographer, and Assault On The Control Room. Where are they?!

Those are either photoshops or mods(according to my experience).

The only level I know of that has Engineers is Truth and Reconciliation or Keyes. You have to glitch/mod/action replay to reach them, as they are out of the map, on one of the mesas/cliff tops.

There was a video somewhere, possibly on HBO, but I couldn't find it.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Hiding in the shadows, waiting for you to make one false move. You're lucky you haven't. Next time, next time.

You do realize the only time an Engineer killed something was when Lighter than some caved in human's skull with a rock when it attacked the ship's Deacon? - Contact Harvest

They're around. Fixing something somewhere.

I GOT PEOPLE ON MY SIDE

I've never seen them, I don't even think Bungie thought that much in depth about the Halo story when Halo 1 came out.

Neo has officially been promoted to barf cleaner-upper and pukee hair holder.
I am honored to have that position. While your barfing I can steal your wallets!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.

Wakes up, walks outside, then notices the abomination at my feet.

"Dude" what did you do with my car!? Which a say to some pink creature floating in the air.

From that one, the first Warthog vehicle was born.

Aside from that terrible joke, Engineers, or Huragok, are essentially harmless creatures that float around, repairing stuff, and even making it better, they will only talk to other Huragok, or a prophet, and they idolize forerunner artifacts.

I know we didn't need to see them in any of the halo gameplay, but at least they could've made some cameo in a cut scene.

actually they are in all levels, but bungie didnt make any AI encounters for em...you can rip em using HEK+ when making a map for Halo: Custom Edition and placing em were you want...also you could use a modding tool (but i dont have idea on how using those :/ )

Yeah, were they little floating jelly things?

Or were they the little men in red jumpsuits with a pistol on the first level of Halo?
