Subject: what are engineers?

If you guys want to know a lot about engineers, I highly recommend reading the book Halo: Contact Harvest. It explains a lot about their culture and how they work, in addition to an awesome story about Sgt. Johnson.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

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!


¬_¬ Yes, of course they can. [/sarcasm]

They fix machinery and the like. They can't do anything with organic material, especially not reviving people. That's not even possible.

And also, they don't 'work' for the Covenant, they 'work' for all lifeforms. If a human asked them to fix something, they would fix it. The Covenant just found them first. They aren't violent either, which is why they have never been featured in any of the Halo games. They wouldn't serve much of a purpose. I wonder what they're for in ODST...

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)

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.

yeah drones were used as engineers on brute ships because elites hated brutes and did not allow as much technology on brute ships

Lol, idiot. You do know that Engineers can reconsruct technology faster than any other life form? Who cares how big they are, they'll fix anything you break in minutes. And what are you talking about, smarter? Engineers know more than any Drone might. Plus, why do they need to be trained for combat? Shouldn't you have all your combat troops out there in combat, instead of fixing stuff? These engineers allowed the Covie to repurpose all their original mechanics, greatly increasing the size of their force.

And there isn't any proof that they can fix stuff "Superz FastZ". And what happens when a Wraith blows up in Heavy battle.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Engineers are friends. Lighter than Some is an amazing character, it was so sad what happened to him :(

Proof that Forunners are super-advanced: They made Halo, a bio-weapon capable of destroying all life in a 25,000 light year radius. Oh yeah, they made seven of these.

Proof that engineers fix stuff extremely quickly: The books and this.
