There have never been covenant engineers in the skybox...

That's what I'm suggesting. That there be engineers/sentinels in or what appears to be close to the skybox. Actual Model engineers/sentinels that float around all day, minding their own business, Waaaaaaaaaay into the distance.

Hmm. I could have sworn I saw something floating out above the waterfall. Were those supposed to be sentinels? Either way, they need to be 3d and moving, not 2d images.

This guy has a good idea, you should probably listen to him

Whoever keeps mentioning Covenant Engineers needs to just shut up. NOTHING about this map, save for the crashed High Charity (which doesn't even have any Covenant left on it), has anything to do with the Covenant. All of the airborne entities are Forerunner Stratosentinels (link to Halopedia would go here, but it's being all funky at the moment). How do I know this for certain? I worked with Con on designing the skybox, and I still must say, excellent job.

Weren't engineers created by forerunners though? Having engineers wouldn't damage the background, in this case.

[Sever]

No, no they weren't. Huragok are a naturally occurring species.

From Halopedia:

"Huragok (Latin Facticius indoles[1], meaning "artificial genius"[2]), known to Humans as Engineers,[3] are an artificial race that was created by the Forerunners.[1] They are the only known non-combatant race of the Covenant."

I stand corrected, and I apologize. I too love the skybox, I'm just pointing out that without either a higher-res version of the sentinels or actual sentinels the current ones look a bit fake. And if real sentinels have already been added, as implied by the earlier screenshot, then why are we still arguing over this?

[Con]

If I need to do something major to the sky in the future then I'll do something about the line of strato-sentinels, but I've got more important work to do for the map first.

[Sel]

I have no problem with the sentinels, and as long as con shares that opinion I'm not going to make him change them.
