I think I just thought of something people... what if the engineer is the secret creature that can flip over worthogs... if you have read The Fall of Reach, it talks about Master Chief seeing one, and its opens the hood of a car, takes apart the engine with incredable speed, sets it out nicely on the pavement, and then puts it back together in different ways. Do you think they could be the ones that flip worthogs?...but it does say that they stay away from battles... so its probably a small chance of them being that secret creature....

they won't be the new warthog flipping variety i don't think.
the pictures are of engineers, not flood as it may say on the latter page.
My opinion? the engineers WILL be in it

just so you know...halo.bungie.org has PLENTY of pics in their forum of the engineer (archived mostly). mind u this is stuff left over from halo 1, not 2 (obviously). heres the best example...by Boll. http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive12.pl?read=342599 . have fun.

EDIT: oops...forgot to give my input...i personally believe the engineers will make an appearence...but not necisarily more than that...just an appearance. after readin about em, the last thing i want to do is accidentally shoot one of the poor guys.

Yeah I think engineers will be in H2 and maybe even play a small part in the story. They can do a cinima where MC grabs one and makes it fix something important. Plus it would be nice to have some floating around covie ships or planets just for target practice. You can do some melee combos easilly since they don't fight back. I get a kick out of shooting dead covies or smacking them as a taunt, and I'm sure bungie feels the same way so why not have one extra thing to have fun with? The way the books describe the engineer they sound funny, they probably say stupid things like the grunts so I think if anything it would add another comedic effect to the game which to me was important in Halo 1.

I think the thing that took apart the car in the Fall of Reach was the prophets. Because it said it was the floaty thingy with medusa hair.
