Has anyone been thinking about the title though?
"Guardians?"
That means more than one character on the same side. Personally, if Arby's coming back, I think this could have to do with the Chief and Arbiter fighting ONI. But I'm just going full-out speculation here.

Here's a quick summary of what I think is going to happen: John wants to recover Cortana. ONI wants to get rid of John. John goes AWOL. ONI sends out their new super soldier who was supposed to replace John to track down and either capture or kill both John and Halsey. John meets up with Thel at some point and asks for help. John is able to track Cortana's signal to the remnants of the Lesser Ark. He traverses it in search of her, having to face (maybe not fight) different Forerunner Guardians, maybe like the Mendicant Bias. The signal ends up being either from Cortana, the Librarian, or Halsey. The new Spartan finally finds John and they face off. John barely wins but doesn't kill him. The Spartan begins to see that he was lied to. Etc. It's all just speculation though.

Wow that's actually really coherent. Makes sense. Also: [quote]He traverses it in search of her, having to face (maybe not fight) different Forerunner Guardians, maybe like the Mendicant Bias.[/quote] Open world? Boss fights? That would be really funny though if your enemy is a minefield of killzones...one wrong step and "killed by the guardians"

More like once you get in their area they emerge from the sand or come out of a structure/rock formation.
