Subject: what are engineers?

what is all this talk about engineers is ODST. I googled engineer from Halo and a purple looking flood showed up. I have played Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 and have not encountered any. Could someone please inform me.

It's not a flood. it's a thing the Forerunners created that can fix pretty much anything. they work for the Covenant.

they are not flood things they have something to do with the forerunners they are peaceful creatures that will pretty much help anyone by repairing things, they are in some of the halo novels and were supposed to be in halo 1 but were removed(much like the flood juggernaut in halo 2)

Oh no I just thought of something... They can reconstruct the Brutes that you killed! Since it has the brutes DNA it can create another one!

Engineers are a part of the Covenant that work as engineers, but they can't tell who is friend or foe. In a book one fix'd Master Chief's armor.

They were creatures created by the Forerunner. They were supposed to be in Halo 1 but were taken out late in the process. Therefore, they can still be accessed via modding the Halo 1 disc.

They are not truly living because they are made using nano technology. They are peaceful creatures and although they are helping the Covenant uncover Forerunner objects, they will not harm Humans if they go near them.

They are in the books, so I'm glad to see them in ODST. (If rumors are true)

I'm hoping there's more fanservice like this. Afterall, this is what this game seems to be. Had they not shown a demo of a level we did not play at E3 I'd imagine this game wouldn't even had been made.

I'd imagine this game is going to be good with easter eggs.

It's probably highly unlikely, in the pictures it look like it was Drones. Talking about Drones couldn't they be trained as engineers?
-They come in biger sizes, they could finish things faster
-They are trained for Combat
-They are smarter then Engineers, they can tell who is friends and who is foe.

no the engineers are smart they can repair and heal almost anyone and anything i consider that smart and drones are covenant that is why they can tell who is friend or foe engineers are peaceful and like i said before will pretty much work for anyone.

Drones are smart too, they ambush Master Chief from the air vents when he was going to the Ops Center in Crows Nest. And the Covenant doesn't like when there own helps out the UNSC.

He wasn't talking about pictures. He was talking about that certain video that we can't post on the forum.

in a way that is true but im sure that they are smarter for ambushes and group attacks but i doubt they could do what an engineer does also technically the engineer is a forerunner because they were made by the forerunners not the covenant.

If you can train a bug, then I can get my level 51 in Team Slayer.

It just won't happen. A bug's a bug.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

engineers are bloody brilliant.
they took a tank and made it a rocket ship of sorts.
that's probably my favorit part of any book.
but yea they just fix things, really.
all they are are nano technology in a purple sac of light gasses with tentacles.

like i said before its because they are peaceful and will work for anyone the covenant most likely just have a better way to get them to work for them.

The Covenant just found them first, if the UNSC found/captured some they'd work just as willingly for them. Basically they just live to fix and build stuff, no matter who its for.

Actually the original covi engineers were the drones but once they found the engineers and the drones had been proven able to fight in a firefight and pose a threat, the engineers took over and the drones were sent in to battle.

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

They're peaceful guys who just fix things.

that would be cool but it's impossible because engineers are not a biomass and they have have no inner systems of any kind (flood need calcium).
