Guardian was always a great map for varying playlists. I was always hoping to see [i]Guardian Forest[/i] as a future single-player DLC, but what goes, goes.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Camaro4ever19 You need levels where players that dominate can show off how they can hold off three noobs, not have to keep moving because only half your body can be covered by a small opening. So stupid. [/quote] Maybe I watch too many montages on youtube, but I've seen plenty of domination on this map. Not to mention the myriad of hiding spots and tricks one can employ on this map. I feel Guardian is exactly what Halo should be: easy to pick up and play, but difficult to master.

Wowzers. Thats pretty freakin' cool! Guardian is the greatest map. Thanks Cotton!
-
Awesome ^_^ Very good read!
-
Awesome! Something cool, LOL.

Those pictures of Guardian look like the Ice Forest from Too Human. Except Guardian came out first. By the way, you navigate the Ice Forest level using man cannons. Then after you complete the Ice Forest you use, I kid you not, orbital drop pods, to travel to the next level in the game.

I want one of these for The Pit.... because wasn't it called Warthog Inc at one point? Great read too.

It's maps like these that made the jump from Halo 2 to Halo 3 such a horrible misstep. You need levels where players that dominate can show off how they can hold off three noobs, not have to keep moving because only half your body can be covered by a small opening. So stupid. Make games for the elite, not the idiot public.

I know that the Bungie team is busy working on new hawtness, but I'd just like to say that I love these walkthroughs of multiplayer maps or cut content such as the Guardian Forest. Contruct and Guardian are two of the best maps in Halo 3, and it was incredible to read the backstory. I'd love to see more of them. (If you can find the time, of course.)
-
Coolio this is. I hope they do a sandtrap one.
-
Steve Jobs declares this......cool
-
I said this last time and I'll say this again. These map concept throwback articles are the most interesting types of new stories in a long time. Love these.
-
Very nice.
-
Wow, some of those drawings make Guardian look pretty scary.
-
O.O Why do I always prefer concept to reality? XD
-
P cool. I would've liked to see ewoks on Guardian, but I'm sure that violates some copyright or another.
-
love it love the concept work
-
The maps back then looked pretty nice. Makes me want to play remakes of Guardian in Sandbox.. are there any?
-
Something something something cool.
-
FIRST! jk.
-
Nice, Guardian is one of my favorite maps.
-
I was hoping there would be some giant easter egg discussed that nobody had found. Too bad. Still an awesome interview though.
-
best map in my opinion
