So in halo 4 infinity managed to fire a pretty large hole probably around 50 to 100 metres deep into a 300+ km ship. Makeing it need to divert mass from some other system. The mantles aproach was Probably one of the most advanced if not the most advanced war ships ever built by the foreunners. The guardians are clearly not that advanced campaird to the mantles approach with a much more fragile design other than an EMP and werent even mentond in the forerunner thay dont seem to compliment any other weaponry. so why the hell can infinity and its support fleet not just rush one at a time and turn them into dust before it fires its EMP?.
MAC’s take time to charge up, especially those on orbital craft. The Guardian doesn’t really have a set body shape, and could probably move its segments at will to avoid fire.

we also don’t know what kind of weapons they are packing

Not to mention the havoc being wrought by all the other AI’s.

As much of the military is based on AI’s, I guess they can cause a quite large havoc
A guardian can survive a covenant glassing canon, but I don’t know if a glassing canon is more powerful than a Mac round.
Guardians were meant to control solar systems of civilzations up to Tier 2.
They are no forerunner war machines. They are forerunner zookeepers, and they don’t need anything more than forerunner EWAR to fulfill their tasks.
The only reason why the Didact didn’t use forerunner EWAR to disable the UNSC’s everything, is because he was just A TINY BIT DERANGED from doing nothing but to think about psychological torture for 100,000 years.
He even demonstrated that he can disable UNSC assets with ease during the first few levels of Halo 4, when he makes the Infinity crash.
The Guardian’s suppressor pulse just knocked everything in the entire solar system down.
Had the Infinity attempted to aim at the Guardian, it would have been disabled just like it was in Halo 4.

Wait when was this?

Infinity punched a Broadsword-sized hole in a temporary armor plate not meant to withstand damage, and the whole was repaired mere seconds afterward. It was the equivalent of a -Yoink- on the colossal ship. Mantle’s Approach tanked the sustained fire from the entirety of Earth Orbital Defense.
And why downplay the EMP? Seconds after its arrival, an entire planet was crippled. Guardians are used to police entire solar systems, keeping civilizations at bay. Infinity won’t be taking one on any time soon.

Meridian. The Guardian was completely intact after the planet was glassed.
The Guardian on Sunaion also rose in the middle of a Covenant civil war, taking shots from both sides.
I think it just shows how scared the UNSC is right now knowing how much power cortana has and that she just turned almost every A.I against the humans. I mean the infinity is their strongest ship and it just ran immediately.
No. I want the Guardians to be yoinking powerful, as they didn’t give much of a showing in Guardians. I want these things to prove they can police solar systems through shear power and fear. I want to go on other VS forums and say the guardians can mess stuff up just cause’ they can. Although I wish Infinity had also put more of a showing prior to Halo 5, but too late. The guardians are in town, and I want them to be one of Halos most feared asset.
I’m hoping in Halo 6 they’ll show Infinity downing a few through the humans using unpredictable tactics or maneuvers to outsmart/ out maneuver them. Kind of like the “Keyes loop” in Fall of Reach. I think, I don’t remember the book very well. But it’s unlikely to happen. Or maybe another trench run, or space battle or something.

I don’t think many people would be able to outsmart Cortana, she’s basically the most intelligent being in the universe right now, too bad she doesn’t have wisdom or sanity.
What do guardians do anyway? Are they battleships? Or solar system wide EMP generators. We know for a fact there is a sizeable complement of forerunner forces, including phaetons defending it. Not that sure about effectiveness against naval ships though.
Looking at what the EMP did at the end of H5 though, it could render any ships worthless

Guardians are “peacekeepers” that Warrior Servants deploy to police an entire galaxy, they have a ton of soldiers sitting in just one…although, I thought a Fortress Class Forerunner Vessel was the galactic police vehicle…guess not
IDK if the Infinity could handle a guardian… First we do not what weapons, shielding, or propulsion they field… ONI has to my knowledge very little intelligence on them… Not to mention that the technology they field is Forerunner which means that it is far more advanced than humanities with the exception of bastardized Forerunner technology in use i.e. propulsion systems. Perhaps the Huragoks in the UNSC would be able to improve the performance of the UNSC to make it somewhat competitive, but in the end Lasky would have to be very creative with his tactics…

Well, the Guardian was not on the surface but deep in the planet. The covenant are glassing only the surface of the planet.
The EMP wasn`t that good. Spartan armour had enough proofing they could reboot after, meaning EMP shielding and redudencies clearly work against the blasts. Maybe Halsey will just proof infinity against it.
I think Halo 5 will show us very early on what the Guardians are capable of, and what it takes to destroy one- let alone the hundreds Cortana has at her disposal.
Generally speaking, I imagine the Guardian would explode and then slowly the pieces would pull themselves back together, just like the Mantle’s Approach fixed itself and the hole Infinity punched in it. And yeah, Infinity can probably take a Guardian with some effort, but more than one should be an issue- and there’s only one Infinity.
I think Halo 6’s opening mission will feature a space battle between Infinity and a Guardian. Personal theory/expectation.

I believe one of the intel’s on Meriden mentions that a strange metal they found ( I assume Guardian) survived the planets glassing. They figure this out because the soil underneath the metal was loose same as the soil above it.
