Okay so the newly announced title for Halo Xbox One… is Halo 5: Guardians.
Lets discuss the anointed word ‘Guardians’…
Definition
A guardian is… a person who protects or defends something.
This could relate to Humanity and the Mantle Of Responsibility… one of the main focuses of the Reclaimer Saga. And it would justify the Mantle’s teachings to protect and defend, the lesser species and overseer their evolution…
Halo References
A guardian is… a Forerunner sentinel native to the Lesser Ark, Installation 00.
This could relate to the fact that the Master Chief, John-117, is apparently on the Ark. Looking for something… possibly 032 Mendicant Bias?
The word Guardians could also refer to the Chief being the Guardian of Humanity. This made even stronger by the fact that Chief is finding his humanity. He will understand the value of it and as a result of this, He will be able to stand tall as Humanity’s ‘Guardian’.
Fueled by the loss of Cortana and the possible fear of being hunted by this ONI Spartan, Chief will understand why this needs to be protected.

Bhahah Chief fears nothing!
But yeah good point… he is seemly more advanced than any known Human now, being of Spartan-II/Forerunner GEA Hybrid
precursors, forerunners, guardians? it would be a fitting name for the latest race to hold the mantle!
i doubt its that though, possibly the name of something forerunners left to uphold the mantle until a new race rose up to a point where they could take over?
