when was this? if it's true, then reach will be awesome! i'd love to drive a rhino. but i don't remember ever hearing they'd be in another game.

Screw the Rhino; hello Hawk!


it would be so unbelievably epic to be outnumbered and outgunned, pinned down, only to see a vulture swoop in overhead and bombard the hell outta the covies.

I wish I was still legendary.

He said this in one of the more recent HW videos:

(paraphrased):

'The stuff you see in Halo Wars is Canon now, and you'll see it popping up in other locations in the Halo universe.'

it would be awesome, but i can't bring myself to believe bungie would go through with it. and seeing as frankie doesn't work for bungie anymore, we might have to take his word with a grain of salt.

Frankie said the HW vehicles are now Canon, and will definitely pop up in other Halo games.
Hey, if you can find that link, would you mind posting it here? I'd be really interested to see what he said about that. I hope it comes true, Halo Wars has some cool vehicles, especially the Cobras. I'd love to se them in Reach, if that would be possible within canon.

in this video somewhere,approx. 3:30

ACTUAL QUOTE:

They just created some really awesome stuff that will be used elsewhere in the universe. Every time we add, we embrace,and you'll see it pop up in other places.

I don't see the point of Engineers, they don't fight.

Drinols on the other hand would be -blam!- awesome.

Some people suspect Sharquoi to be Drinol, but it says this: "I suspect we are forcing [the humans] into a tighter arena than they care to fight in..." so we can't be sure. But maybe they mean that sending in the Sharquoi would crush the remainder of the human forces, which would lead me to think that they are Drinol.

And is the plural of Drinol "drinols" or "drinol"?

I would like to see the engineers in the game.
Bungie obviously had meant to have them in Halo 2, but ran out of time. They were modeled and are still on the disc, which people found when they hacked the game.

They would be fun to witness from an FPS perspective. They were in Halo Wars, but you can't get much out of an RTS.

Not everything in the game has to be a target.

IM A LEGIT 16

Deleted content was deleted for a reason, so no Drinol(s) or Blind Wolves, especially when Blind Wolves are only on the first Halo.

Engineers could make an appearance, though. One of them caused the first Casualty and made the Brute Chopper. They do make a big difference in the Halo Universe, but I couldn't think of a practical reason for it.

Maybe as an Easter Egg they could show an Engineer get killed by a swarm of Drones, with a Grunt destroying all those Drones?

That would be fun =)

Engineers are awsome they are the only suviving race that is from the era of the forrunner (sentanals are not a race as they are built).

Also they were defanatley on reach they are in the book .

Well technically the Engineers were created by the Forerunners.

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Two species, both useless.

Engineer: Wow. A pink, floating blob that fixes things. Okay, so maybe you could have it fix vehicles, but seriously, would that really be useful? If they make the game, they won't be targets, they'll be in cutscenes and running around the battle field doing nothing. They won't try to kill you, as they are Forunner constructs.

Drinol: Are you seriously out of your mind? Why do you alo: CE. Or Halo 2. Or even Halo 3 for that matter? Oh, I know! Because they were an idea, nothing more and a bad one at that.
They where removed not because of time restraints but because Bungie realised they'd be really aweful opponents.
Come on, essentially they'd be the equivilent to the Beserkers from GOW and hell, they didn't even turn up in GOW2 because people hated them. Just don't...
Agreed.

I would like to see Engineers in the game. Strictly for ambiance... not to interact with the player in any way. I don't see how it could hurt them being in the game...it can only make the game richer.

I don't think you know what your talking about, the Berserker not being in GOW 2 pissed people off. Have you ever been to the GOW forums, occasionally you will see a thread asking for them to return for Horde or GOW 3 and people agree. They didn't make it because they thought people didn't want to do the same -blam!- over again bu they were wrong.
