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