So, these guardians are the cause of this…anomaly. If they are 4000 somethin feet tall, why are they such a threat, Most UNSC ships cover that length, except for a few such as frigates, corvettes, prowlers, etc… Cruisers are about the size. My point, in battle if you are small usually you can’t defeat the bigger one. These guardians should not be able to mow through any of our fleets, unless the UNSC is going to be stupid and not help the outer colonies. Infinity should be able to take them down no problem, which leaves me to believe is Infinity in trouble. Just a little rambling of some thoughts I had 
Size isn’t everything, these guardians could probably fly circles around the infinity while it was attempting to turn around. before slapping it around like a game of four square.
The Didact himself was way smaller than any ship, and he was a danger to the whole of human kind.
The Guardians are most likely Forerunner, so I would expect them to have some major shielding. If these things are supposedly wiping out entire star systems, I think the Infinity will not stand a chance against them.

The Didact’s floating egg plagued the Infinity, a Guardian should be able to wreak anything.

Yes but he was not a direct threat, the threat was the composer and the Mantle’s Approach, which, in theory is way bigger than Infinity. In theory I feel his tech was the actual threat. As blue team was able to weaken him and take him down. But yes, he was a major threat and still is.

Yes, I agree, the Poke-ball did hurt infinity but it was actually the gravity well in requiem that caused the ships crash landing.

Infinity punctured mantles aproach with her MAC’s no problem.
Well, who says the Guardians are for fighting in space. They could be giant infantry units, one of many attempts to fight the flood. In that case they’d be a deadly threat.

When did they Weaken him? All 4 couldn’t do Blam to The Didact even when he had a Knife through his skull. They didn’t taken him down, Chief through him and a large peace of a Halo down on the Composer Forge and HIS STILL ALIVE! the blast it created was ridiculous.
And then the hole closed 5 seconds later…
Seeing as this is pure Forerunner tech, these things might be able to travel at ridiculous speeds and be really agile at the same time as well as having weapons everywhere and insanely strong armour.
> And then the hole closed 5 seconds later…
Good point. Thats whats interesting about forerunner tech, it manipulates it’s self.

They seem a little to big to be infantry, thats like saying a strident frigates is a spartan.

They are to big to be really supper fast, they could be fast, but not super fast. I am pretty sure they have a slipspace drive, so yes I guess they are fast, in that sense.

Infinity punched a Broadsword-sized hole in a weak part of the ship (temporary covering over the Composer), after Earth’s Orbital Defense Grid and Battlegroup Dakota had been pounding it for several minutes with absolutely no effect.
I wouldn’t exactly say that’s evidence in Infinity’s favor.
And size definitely doesn’t mean much of anything to the Forerunners in terms of firepower.
War Sphinxes were much smaller than these Guardians. War Sphinxes were known to level cities themselves and could conduct continental-scale bombardment.

It isn’t the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
Think about it seekers could destroy planets this thing is like a seeker on steroids.
Considering the confirmed height of the Guardians which is 4,635 feet tall, the Guardian shown in the Halo E3 2013 teaser is pretty miniscule compared to that height. I hope they’re much larger in the game.
Seriously? I don’t think the Infinity can blow up planets or rip apart star systems like the Guardians seemingly can…
Have you forget? They are a thousand years ahead of human tecnology!
but master chief kill covenant and prometheans, so you got rigth a little!

They could be exaggerating.
But honestly size is not everything. Halo likes to pump size as being important, but really, its not in a age of ballistics and other weapons. I mean, the didact’s ship was taken out by a bomb the size of a football. I really doubt the guardians are meant to sit there and tank shots to the face. They might even be designed to to fight ships. They could just pop in, destroy what they need swiftly, and go.

I doubt that the statements are hyperbole in nature. While there is the possibility of extreme fire-power not being their primary purpose, a direct statement of what they can muster has been provided by GameInformer - something along the lines of entire star systems being destroyed, with the Guardians involved in doing such.
ReadyUpLive, I believe, also stated that the Guardians can blow up planets. Contradictory to the latter, though still a very impressive low-end feat.
