Why are there no Engineers in Halo 4 at all? They’re all over the Infinity and also found in shield worlds. We know that from the books. Why were they left out?
Theyre with the animals that used to be in halo since 2.
They’re mentioned in an easter egg you can find on the mission where you fist use the mantis, just before the second left where all the aircraft are hanging on the cealing hop out and press X on the doors on the back of the room!
The engineers on Infinity were just upgrading, ONI still doewn’t want them running around on ships. The Covenant don’t have any.
And this isn’t a normal Shield World. This wasn’t a safe haven for all Forerunners to go to, which requires it be maintained by Huragok.
This was the military hub, the HQ of the Didact’s Warrior Servants and the Prometheans.
The planet was later filled with Promethean AI and locked up. This would render the Huragok pointless here, since they are needed elsewhere, and the Prometheans could probably handle other simple jobs. Requiem wasn’t supposed to be opened again.
