Subject: Clue to a new race in halo 3... The Sharquoi???

Now in the booklet of Conversations from the Universe that came from the special edition Halo 2, Two elites mention about using a certain "Sharquoi", a new vehicle, race, or gun? Anyone else see this??

from what ive read people think it is the covenent engineer

  • 07.16.2006 11:07 PM PDT

I think it could be some sort of a covenent trump card, perhaps a "super weapon"???

It's probably not the Engineer, they are the Huragok. I'm pretty sure it's the Drinol...actually, I'm not sure at all.

ok... sharquoi are in fact the Drinol. (big guys that are supposed to be able to kill tanks with ease.) they were supposed to be in Halo 2 but got taken out for whatever reasons.... probably because the game got cut in half...

Really? Well i guess it makes sense because driniol was never added in halo2, But maybe it will be the new "hunter" for the prophet of truth's army

On the note of Covenant Engineers.
I would enjoy atleast seeing them in Halo 3 in some sort of context.
Possibly something to do with the arbiter or whatever.

  • 07.16.2006 11:17 PM PDT

I would at least like to see them in game doing engineer like tasks, such as floating around repairing things while you are playing.

Engineers are neutral. The way the Elites said it, the Sharquoi has to be a fighter.

The Drinol seems to match its description. Intended for use by the Covenant on the front lines against the enemy. Is it implied once the Covenant finds Earth? Don't know. But the Drinol was a..more or less scrapped idea.

If the Grunts/Elites/Hunters have the Drinol on their side, that would even out the playing field against the Brutes.

It wouldn't make sense though if the driniol were on the arbitors side because the prophets would most likely already have them, but i would love to see a massive clash of the titans battle between drinniol and hunters.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think that it's the name of the Ancient Forerunenr ship Truth flee High Charity in -- it seems to hold great power (besides powering High Charity by itself for millenia)

maybe...

that could be true because when ur playing through High Charity cortana says "theres something inside the ship... a presence..thats fighting back..." that backs up what ur trying to say mlg

Some, suggested the Forerunner Ship is a battle transport. I'm thinking, it's unlikely, but that ship would be a perfect battle transport. The size of it would make it near invulnerable to take down, not to mention being able to carry multiple invasion armies and even more.

I think the Ark is the Forerunner Ship. Or the ship used "to begin the Great Journey". Or both.

I can see it now.....Your fighting along the ravaged city streets when maybe a mile infront of you, huge covenent ship crashes, sending a blistering heated wind and dust cloud over you with a big whooooossssh. not even joking. that would be awesome

Franky or marty or someone cant remember but they said ( I was fighting a few grunts and ahhhh something a bit bigger than a grunt did a classic pincer move one me. ) Hey wat you think it would be cool to be versing a huge behemoth like that,

Hey guys, this is real interesting...could you let me know when the Sharquoi and Drinol were mentioned? Was it in a level of Halo 2, or just in the books?

I'm not sure where Drinol came from but in Marathon there are massive creatures called the Drinniol.
Maybe the same race?
