I would like to clarify something. I remember a few weeks ago, people were talking about how they hoped that the Engineers will be in Halo 2. Then, someone said they found a pic of one over at The Halo Library (here is an enlargment of the pic). Okay, there were a whole bunch of people that believed this to be an Engineer from the pre-XBOX version of Halo. Now, earlier today I was looking through pics here at Bungie.net (Halo pre-XBOX section) when I found a pic called "Is it a manatee or Flood form?" (heres the pic and heres a link to the page its on to see the name). This pic completely proves (because its obviously not a manatee, so its a Flood form) thats its not an Engineer (as that one site said it was). I hope this helps some people who believed it to be.

Plus it's an Engineer. Just because the title says is it a Manatee or a Flood from doesn't mean it's a Flood. If you read the books, it describes Engineers, and that's exactly what they look like.

It cant be a flood, the flood are jsut the little bouncy guys that blow up. The other "flood" can technically be labeled as them but are really just infected humans/elites

Not really, it just says they float and have tentacles (although it does float, but its skin looks like a flood, besides the color). That really doesnt seem like a Engineer. I think that is the pre-XBOX version of a Flood carrier form.

This is a pre-XBOX pic people. If you go look at the rest of them then you will see that MC didnt also look how he does now, thats because those pics are not of the finished product.

Hmm...

This is an engineer. In fact, this was proven by a Bungie employee on halo.bungie.org. Some time ago, some body hexed edited Halo xbox, and replaced a grunt model with an engineer model. Pictures were posted, and a Bungie employee commented, saying that was infact an engineer and how surprised he was that it was discovered.

You can actually replace MC's model and biped in Halo, and play through the whole game as an engineer. You can't shoot or run, only walk in any direction slowly. The engineer was never finished because M$ wanted Halo to be a launch title, and that didn't give Bungie enough time to finish.

I'll try to find the Thread about this on halo.bungie.org...
