Honestly was one of the series best maps and needs to come back exactly the way it was. (no changes for abilities/sprint) #take them out at least for this map
Well, I actually can’t stand that map. It was my least favorite in Halo 3.
However, I will say I agree to take out sprint / abilities. So I do partially agree with you.
Ugh, Guardian is so overrated…
That’s my take on it. Not a bad map, not a wow map, just has been played so many times, especially in customs.
Guardian wasn’t really a good map.
In FFA it turned into a huge AR beatdown fest.
In high level Team Slayer the matches often turned into a stalemate and would rarely reach 50 kills because attacking either side required crossing open territory. Terrible.
It was only good for MLG Oddball. That’s it.
Shocks me to see that all the replies so far are anti-Guardian.
I have never seen that before. What the hell? I don’t even understand how someone can dislike Guardian. It was the perfect competitive slayer map. Guardian is the very definition of a perfect FFA map.
Unfortunately OP, it wouldn’t even work, assuming that 343 sticks with sprint… they’d have to increase the size of the map to accommodate for that and then it just wouldn’t be the same.

It’s because some people just don’t like it. I personally have no strong feeling one way or another.

On default Guardian the team that spawns at elbow always beats the other team to camo.
So they get Overshield, Sniper, Hammer and Camo while the other team only gets the shotgun.
Controlling sniper tower is the part of the map to control so the team at elbow has a huge advantage. It’s terribly unbalanced.

I think you meant Midship. The spawns are awful on Guardian. Especially, in the MLG oddball version with enemies spawning right behind you.

Yeah it sucks though. They’re following reach but reach wasn’t a halo game. as in bungie didn’t want to make it, they wanted to make something new. so something new sure got put in there, it just wasn’t halo. microsoft should have never forced them to make what they didn’t want to make

still one of the most fun maps. you can bring in all these things, but there’s a reason why it got played so much
Guardian was a great map, it should return.
I guess there must be something wrong with me because I honestly don’t understand all the hype with that map. Actually, it was one of my least favorites in Halo 3, right behind isolation and epitaph.
Guardian wasn’t really that great, at least in my opinion. Come to think of it, the only thing I liked about Guardian was shooting Quadwings.
