Subject: Engineers, Forerunners, and Halo 4

Oops. I think I just lost your mind.

The Engineers were creations of the Forerunners, mechanical facsimiles of biological systems, a step up from Sentinals in complexity and a great leap ahead in sophistication. For the time being, let's assume the world John-117 is being pulled into in Halo 4 is Forerunner, and is also of great importance. Wouldn't it make sense for Engineers to return?

Thoughts? What do you think their roles in gameplay could be? Story?

I think they will definatley be there. Maybe as a support role for the enemy like in ODST and Reach. Hm can't wait to see

Yeah. I hope they get expanded quite a bit though. They were rather boring in ODST, more of a distraction from battle to add difficulty than a real "puzzle piece" that fit a role in gameplay to make it work. I hope they are significant, in-story as well; likely as allies, given John's "Reclaimer" status and their pacifism.

"There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe."
Gospel of John, 1:1-7

I don't see how they'd be a support role like in previous games, as the Engineer's were slaves by covenant standards, forced to wear explosive suits.

We'll probably see them in their truest form, without the suits. Or maybe if there's Flood (which I wouldn't doubt) we could see floating flood..? Food for thought.
