Please play and beat the Marathon series if you think you are hot halo shit, and stop hatin on Marathon.

==How they could have been in the game==

Its kind of a disappointment that the Engineers did not end up appearing in any of the games. Although, it would be difficult to think of a role for them to play in the game. However, I think I've come up with with something as to how they could have been (or might appear in future Halo games)

Their most obvious role is repairing damaged vehicles. Also, if an Elite or Jackal or Brute has his shields knocked out, an Engineer can put them back up without waiting for it to have to recharge. Furthermore, I have thought about how Engineers could be actually a threat to the player. It kind of contradicts their behavior in the book a bit though. If they get to melee range against you, they could instantly shut down your shield. If your shield was down, they could do weak melee attacks with their tentacles (kind of the opposite of Infection Flood; dangerous when your shields up and annoyance when its down). They would be able to move quickly to counter their lack of ranged attacks. And perhaps they could carry and use equipment like the portable shield, portable gravlift, power drainer, regenerator or radar jammer. Good idea?

They might appear as builders for the covenant in Halo Wars  [[User:84.216.33.251|84.216.33.251]] 13:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Flax-117


When I played them ingame, (now mind this I gave it the zealot consciousness) it had no boundaries and chased me all around death island, holding an energy sword inside it's stomach (i guess that is where it holds weapons.) I would go through a teleporter, and 4 seconds later it had flown right up next to me again, it took no action to kill me, but merely stayed pressed to my side (like a halo 2 floody buddy). I would get in the banshee and it would sit on my port side wing the whole time, just following me like a lost cat, I think the only way they could be useful in halo 1 is if they were to act as living shields, (again, like floody buddies) but they're programming hadn't been finished, and they might have served some sinister deed had they be completed.

While the flood can assimalte just about anything organic, so its possible. The question is, is one was infected, what would it turn into? [[User:PsychoThunder]]


my theory is the deleted juggernaut. There is a startling resemblance in the shape of the central body, number of tentacles (four on the Engineer, two on each side of the Juggernaut at the base of the larger tentacles), and both species were deleted from the game.  However another theory is It is made of multiple flood As the foot appears to be a Human Combat Form. although that could be a flood improvision. it could be possible that the flood cannot harness the ability of floating like the engineers. these infected engineers merged with combat forms to support it and allow it to travel. so despite the negative of the human foot there is still a great chance that the juggy is a infected engineer.  [[user:gil demoono]]

The engineer could not become the juggernaut, I've played halo 1 with engineers, they'reabout 4 feet tall. Juggernauts are about 20 feet tall, big difference.

Also, the engineer dies in 2 uncharged plasma pistol shots, it's weaker than a grunt, there is no way it could survive the assimilation, as they pop into papery shreds when killed.

:As for the Huragoks' pro-Human behavior in ''Halo 3: ODST'', that probably didn't have anything to do with the Covenant or their affiliation.

I agree with DavidJCobb, only the Brutes would think of something as stupid and cowardly as putting a bomb on a engineer, Elites know how valuable an Engineer is to an ship's crew, or a Fleet for that matter so they probably wouldn't even have them on the battlefield unless the battle is over and they have them come in repair, heal, etc.But as for the affiliation Separatist or Loyalist DilaBagomee is correct they would just serve under whose ship or fleet they were in,  but after Loyalist defeat what would happen to them?--[[User talk:Lordexodus003|Lordexodus003]] 08:01, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

== Forerunner Covenant==
How come they were created by the Forerunners but work for the Covenant?[[User:BananaCat|BananaCat]] 19:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Because the Forerunners died out, and since the Engineers dont care who their allies are, the Covenant "harvested" Them.

== Speculation ==

this is pure speculation but perhaps the reason the forerunners never used them in bulk is simply because they so closely resembles organic physiology that the flood was capable of absorbing them easily into a gravemind. i beleive it has been said that graveminds and brain forms can interface with machines. why not a machine thats almost alive

::Maybe the armor they wear was orginally for protection in the field or maybe the Elites on that mission was not of the stereotype but then again, they do float using gas and Dare was worried that Vergil might go ka-boom when Johnson tossed his lighter to him (remember, Vergil isn't wearing his armor anymore) so the Brutes just added explosives for a greater effect.

:::After the first flashback with Buck in ODST, the Rookie comes in contact with three Brutes struggling with an Engineer. The Brute Captain of the group says something like "Place the charge!" and the two brute minors struggle to keep it steady as the Captain places a glowing device on the engineers stomach area. You can see it in Forge if you watch close enough. This shows that it's not the actual armor that explodes, but rather the explosive placed on the creature's belly (plus the Engineer's own sacs of combustible gas). The armor is there to prevent it from being blown up by enemy fire.[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 21:23, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

== Halo Reach Confirmation ==

Hey, I saw that someone posted that the engineers were confirmed to be included in Halo Reach by the ViDoc "Once More Into the Breach". At what point in the ViDoc are they included? What is the specific time stamp? [[User talk:Rimnek 015|Rimnek 015]] 16:27, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

I think at 3:01, 3 guys are aligned at 3 computers, the last guy points his AR at something very similar to an engineer.[[User talk:StalkerGrunt117|StalkerGrunt117]] 16:45, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Even though you saw the Engineer, Bungie could cut it out of the game. Lets hope not.

== Photoshop request ==

Could someone with some Photoshop experience (and a little time on their hands) please edit the main image so there is no background? It seems kind of hard to find a good image of just an Engineer and nothing else.--[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS">Penguin</span>]] 16:20, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Done :) [[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] 10:49, 14 November 2010 (EST)

== Huragok in Halo: Reach confirmed. ==

You can see it at 00:44 in the upper left corner of the screen.

This rules out the possibility of the Huragok being cut from the final game. ;) [[User talk:3v!l D3m0n|3v!l D3m0n]] 07:33, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

== Gameplay ==

Other than the section about Halo: Wars, there is little to no information about what Engineers actually do in-game [[User talk:DanielWJent|DanielWJent]] 10:40, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

== 9 feet? ==

That dosent sound right. [[User talk:Jac0bBau3r1995|Jac0bBau3r1995]] 14:27, 7 March 2012 (EST)
:[[:File:Engineer character-evolution 4-of-4.jpg|This]] screenshot shows a Huragok to be at least 3 feet taller than the average 6-foot human.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
But in game it comes up to about eye level with Buck. [[User talk:Jac0bBau3r1995|Jac0bBau3r1995]] 15:06, 7 March 2012 (EST)

:Its head is eye level with Buck. The rest of the body is taller. [[User:Tuckerscreator|<span style="color:#6600cc;">'''''Tuckerscreator'''''</span>]]<sup>([[User talk:Tuckerscreator|<font color="#008000">stalk</font>]])</sup> 15:25, 7 March 2012 (EST)
::Watch the [http://youtu.be/EnlmzQiAKpw '''{''Cutscene''}'''] and you'll see how much it towers over Buck.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}

Oh. Well then the [[Unidentified Huragok]] page is wrong. It labels him at six feet. [[User talk:Jac0bBau3r1995|Jac0bBau3r1995]] 15:38, 7 March 2012 (EST)

== Halo 4 ==

They're mentioned in halo 4, we don't see the but on level infinity , in one of the doors there is a reserve population. How do we deal with this in the article? [[User:Erickyboo|Erickyboo]] ([[User talk:Erickyboo|talk]]) 19:34, 20 January 2013 (EST)
:Since we already knew that Engineers were onboard the ship. What we would do is in the "List of appearances" section of the article, we add "<nowiki>''Halo 4'' {{mo}}</nowiki>", which will produce "''Halo 4 '' {{mo}}". Feel free to do it. :) —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 03:25, 21 January 2013 (EST)

==UNSC Huragok==
Not to put on the page, but I was wondering at how many Huragok there are in the UNSC after the K5 trilogy.
There appear to be the 3 that John-117 & Co. took onboard Ascended Justice, from Halo: First Strike. Then there's Virgil from ODST. The final ones are Requires Adjustment which was aquired through a raid, and the 3 Huragok from Onyx, that also created Leaks Repaired. Are there any I've missed?--[[User:Thijsbos|Thijsbos]] ([[User talk:Thijsbos|talk]]) 12:25, 13 June 2014 (EDT)
