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 84.216.33.251 13:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Flax-117

Name

That shouldn't say Forunner.--prophit of war 23:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

If you are refering to "The Engineers, called Huragok in the Forerunner language", I assure you that it says that in my copy of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, page 237. "5Huragok: the Forerunner name for the Engineer race" --Dragonclaws 00:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I thought you ment Covenant languige. You know, a typo, I thought that was it, Never mind.--prophit of war 19:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it isn't a typo, like maybe the Engineers existed when the Forerunners were around. Like maybe they were genetically engineered to fix stuff and before the big guys were about to pull the trigger, they got put in stasis or something. Keppin' their tools clean, ya know.

So I suspect. --Dragonclaws(talk) 17:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
They love everything Forerunner and isn't the Covie language the Forerunners?
The book says "Sangheili: the Elite name for their race" and "Huragok: the Forerunner name for the Engineer race". Maybe they speak many languages? --Dragonclaws(talk) 00:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

perhaps harugok is simply the forerunner word for engineer or scientist. and the engineers took the name for themselves Ralok 12:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

==== They are an artificial race *PROOF* ====

Proof from the Limited Edition Beastiarum images released today prove that the Forerunner created the Engineers, and the Prophets harvested them from forerunner facilities. [1]. DO NOT CHANGE THE ARTICLE TO REMOVE THIS PORTION, IT DESCRIBES HOW THE FORERUNNER CREATED THE ENGINEERS, I typed out the section in the article on here directly from the leaked limited edition beastiarum from thehalo3forum. Thanks to Mocamobo. He's the one with the game and 3 MP walkthrough videos on youtube, along with the openning cinematic. He's legit. --User:MLG Cheehwawa

Game

Hey are the Engineers in MC Hanger moving, like in a trance and can't interact with the player? Nrcause I don't have Halo CE in my giant game stack yet.--prophit of war 19:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Like the Flood Juggernaut, Engineers are not actually present in the game and have to be modded out. They also don't have AI, so even if they are modded into the game, they don't do anything. --Dragonclaws 20:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, okay, just a little curious. I'm really interested in the Covenant stuff(races, tech, and such). Wait then how did I watch the Juggernaut Fight then?--prophit of war 15:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the modder just gave the Juggernaut the AI of a normal Combat Form. --Dragonclaws(talk) 06:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

~Could someone provide a link to the TSC mod with the Huragok in it?~

Purse

why do they have a purse thing on their back???? Spartytime 04:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know. Maybe to hold their tools. --Dragonclaws(talk) 06:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it is some sort of small thruster pack that guides the engineer easier, Peace.--The Chazz025 and Clan 18:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

It could also be some sort of cybernetic implant? -ED 19:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Halo Prima Guide

hahahaha...if you have the halo:ce prima guide, look at the profile for the flood infection form...they have a picture of an engineer instead of an infection form, and this was before the books were out and anyone knew what engineers were!CaptJim 19:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Halo: The Flood had Engineers in it, and it came out a little over half a month before Halo 1 and its Strategy Guide did. User:MLG Cheehwawa
Engineers were first shown to fans in 2000, and first "canonized" on page 183 of FoR. --68.44.252.167 02:03, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, where?--UNSCoH General "Running Riot" Ryan Sm Sniper Rifle.gif BAM 19:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I get the impression that he is trying to deiceve us. Template:Signatures/Emosworld 08:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Plasma Rifle

I Modded Halo 1 And Played As An Engineer, He Can Fly Like A Sentinel And He Can Hold A Plasma Rifle.--A Grunts Savior 01:37, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

HGN

In the Halo Graphic Novel, The Flood mutilated some Huragok and possibly assimilated them. Could they? They're artificial biomass, so I don't think the flood could consume them. --Reborn Knuxchao T C R 23:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the just killed them and didn't assimilate them.--Darth Scott 05:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Civil War?

I wonder what happened to the engineers when the covenant civil war began?--A Grunts Savior 10:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

1+1=2

"The Huragok's mathematical system is limited to only 1, another 1 and 2, so basically all they know is 1+1=2" Could some cite this please--Darth Scott 05:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
