Livin' the dream...

I was listening to Rooster Teeth's Podcast, and Burnie brought up an extremely valid point. His son asked him: If you turn into a monitor as a human form, why not an engineer if you are an elite?

I think it is quite a valid point. Did Bungie consider it? Was the idea that they wanted something -somewhat- neutral between Humans and Covenant? Because in my view, they do generally the same thing in terms of their interactions with technology, so I don't think it is such a far-fetched idea. Or was it because they couldn't do it?

Also, as this thought just came to me, it would be pretty awesome for Machinima makers, becuase I know Rooster Teeth For example used the monitor for their PSA promoting the map pack with Foundry, Rat's Nest and Standoff (Sorry I forgot the name of it, its Mythic, Heroic, Legendary or something like that. I never downloaded them because i got ODST...)
So, what do people think about the use of Engineers in Forge?

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Personally I think it would have been pretty cool to choose if you became a Monitor and Engineer in Forge.

If all else fails, we get banjos

I've never thought of that. That would be a good idea for machinimas

BANOOSH

Great idea, OP (and Burnie's kid, I guess lol). Thread saved in case Bungie or 343 ever consider this. They should.

Well the monitor isn't a human construct, and they don't do the same thing.

But it would be cool.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

This would be really great tbh.

The Engineers are made by the forerunners.

I am a practicing traditional Catholic.

I think it would be a bit irrelevent really. I guess it could help with Machinimas, so...

Engineers are pretty big, though. Might pose more problems than necessary.

So is the monitor, you're point?

When building a map, engineers might not fit into some of the spaces you are trying to build. Monitors, due to their small size, can.

Now that I think about it yeah. That would be a problem in terms of size.

But I think that was the point of me putting this idea out there, just to see reasons as to why/why not.
