Subject: Engineer race in ODST?

Im high in fiber!

On ign.com there is a video of all the achievements, and twards the end there are two achievements for not killing engineers and killing them. That may be refering to the Engineer race of the covenant. Engineers are a race that build, repare, and disasemble technology on the battlefield. They have only appeared in Halo Wars and no other halo game. Do you think there could be any significants (in terms of gameplay) to Engineers being included in ODST?

It's leaked, but we have seen pictures that show an unknown alien resembling the Engineer.

No. Engineers are harmless.

They could still be useful. What if they had the ability to act as a regenerator for a Brute and his shields, or repair vehicles?

didn't one of the books say the engineers were not only harmless, but they also helped the humans in some way? its been quite awhile but i could have sworn it said something of the sort.

aaanyways it would be cool if they could repair your vehicles... and THEORY: recharge energy weapons such as the plasma rifle

It would be cool to have engineers in the game from what i have read about them they are very helpful

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Engineers are from the covenant race which are noticed in the book Halo:The Fall Of Reach.

They examined stuff and took apart human technology to observe and examine to report back to the covenant. They also heal in Halo Wars

It has been leaked for around 36 hours now. Also Bungie and Microsoft ganged up on the modder who leaked this, but no legal action could be taken. All they can do now is be pissed.

On topic...
I'm glad that I will finally be able to see an engineer in the game.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

I'll never forgive those drones for what they have done...

Since we all feel sorry for the inventor of the Brute Chopper, the guy who gave the Prophets information about Harvest and the first murderer of the war?

Ya know, without that guy, Humans could have had a peaceful insertion into the Covenant.
Then they'll find out that Humans are the Reclaimers, but the Prophets won't be able to keep it a secret.

So then there will probably be some kind of civil war/overthrowing of the Prophets and Humans can live happily ever after.

Screw Lighter Than Some, without him Master Chief wouldn't be demon, he'd be a God.

And yeah, Engineers are in ODST =P
