I suggest you mind your own business.
That's funny. You're on a public forum, anything here is anyone's business.


Wannabe mod is wannabe-ing.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

If engineers are in Halo ODST I'm curious what function they would serve gameplay wise in a first person shooter game. In old vids the Engineer was supposedly supposed to go around creating shields at will in front of Elites or regerating them in Halo CE before they got cut. In Halo Wars they repair untis and vehicles which is what their roles were in the book, and given the perspective,scale, and how it works to use engineers it all fits into the gameplay nicely. However, in the case of ODST what could they do? They're not inheriently hostile to humans (the only case with lighter and some being because he was protecting his friend) and would otherwise repair vehicles and equipment at random. Perhaps you may need to gather some and have them repair the SI at some point? In any case....
Well storylinewise they could be in New Mombasa to help the Brutes get the city back in operation status in order to make things easier for them. It would be difficult for the Covenant to accomplish anything in the dark.

I don't think a xenophobic group of religious aliens are going to spare a city. Remember Reach? Yeah..........

Surely the Brutes would atleast like to have some lights working?

Loading signature....

In halo wars engineers could heal covenant soldiers and if you do 3vs3 they can heal marines. So they can probably heal an odst.

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

The covenant do have vehicles, so im sure engineers will be in the flashbacks when the actual fights are.
