The picture of the Engineer in the Official Xbox Magazine is holding a Recon helmet! Anyone who has the magazine must look at it nao!

I DON'T HAVE IT! *Cries uncontrolably.*

Heh.

Nice observation, dude. How could I miss that?

Why do you think that is, OP? Though it is conformation of an Engineer in Halo 3: ODST, it is still a rather odd picture.

The Engineer Picture in the OXM
'nuff said.

Caboose: If I was bitten by one, does that mean I'll turn into one?

Church: Shut up Caboose.

Caboose: BLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRG....

Church: SHUT..UP..CABOOSE!

I don't have it either. It seems there is some cosmic conspiricy going on. All the stores that carried OXM (8) in my neighborhood have for some reason stop carrying it. :-/

Maybe Dare gets in a tussle with an Engineer thinking that it's bad, and it takes off her helmet.

Where do you live?

I stopped by the Wal-Mart in my neighborhood and conveniently found about a dozen copies of this special ODST issue.

Why is it marked October 09 and being sold right now, I don't know.

  • 08.20.2009 9:28 PM PDT

I just got the pics. Thanks. The Engineers looks a little different than there Halo 1 cancelled counter-parts. Also, proof of a gold hunter? There's no light in that pic.

Guess I'll have to get to a wal-mart then. There isn't one near me.

You're not missing out on too much, but it's quite an interesting read provided you want to be "spoiled" (it actually made my expectations for the game even better :D).

The Engineer doesn't look too different, it just has an explosive plasma battery hooked onto its back, and armor to protect it in battle (energy shields?). You can see where the tentacles and the body is.

Perhaps it is fixing DARE's helmet?

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Same here. It doesn't spoil much of anything and actually made me more hyped.

Spoilers don't bother me. In fact they get me more excited to see and play the game.

Never mind lol.

  • 08.20.2009 10:06 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

That thing is UGLY. I feel bad about killing them...a bit.

  • 08.20.2009 10:08 PM PDT

Golf Wang. Brony.

So, other than being the new kamikaze Covenant enemy, do you think we will actually see some cool scenes of an Engineer fixing something up?

I would assume that during the nighttime segments they won't have their explosive armor on (which is what I'm calling it, btw) and they would be simply be floating around, or near some destroyed piece of streetlight or something and fixing it.

I doubt that with the inclusion of such a species Bungie wouldn't pass up the opportunity to showcase their true purpose. Like they could actually play a semi-important part of the story, befriending the ODST's and fixing a pelican or something like that.

I already have reason to believe it is fixing DARE's helmet in that picture in OXM.

I think we'll at least some in armour and being controlled by brutes at night. It'd be cool if after killing the handlers but not them, they just floated off to a nearby car and fixed it or something, or healed you. Maybe some predefined areas where they spawned on their own without armour fixing something though.

Yeah would be pretty cool, indeed, giving you a slight advantage simply from refraining from killing Engineers (who do seem to pose quite a threat now, IMO).

I don't see how that would work easily from a game developer perspective but hey, here's hoping.

A thought just occurred to me: a connection between the SI's state of dysfunction and the Engineers shown in the game? I'm saying they would cause the damage, but are aware of it and maybe fix it at the same time?
