What are the 'Guardians'?

I know people have speculated before about what the Guardians in Halo 5 Guardians means, but I haven’t seen a thread about it in a while. What do you guys think ‘Guardians’ means? Unless its already been confirmed or something and I missed it.

Here’s my theory:

TL;DR - the Guardians are the Flood

The Master Chief is a Guardian.

Yep, and Forerunners, Prometheans too.
But who knows…

I like it. I really want to see humanity gain The Mantle by Halo 6

Those giant towers on Sandbox and killballs.

uhhhh… of the Galexy? /s

Lol, yeah… I’ve fallen to those Guardians so many, many times

yes, the forerunners lived to the code of the mantle (mantle of responsibility for the galaxy) because they were the most advanced species in it. the mantle was meant to pass to humanity but the didact didn’t like that idea, mainly because he hates humans… so halo 5 guardians is quite possibly the story of how humanity, mainly chief, begins to take responsibility for the galaxy like they were meant to?

mainly chief and blue team, go read halo escalation.

here’s a review of the relevant issue

so… umm yes, the guardians of the galaxy. chief Vs locke DANCE OFF BRO!

This. The chief is the next ur didact. And humanity is the inheritor of the mantel of responsibility. Humanity is the guardians. As the forerunners use to be. Direct quote from halo 4 footage. Except the chief being the ur didact. Thats my inference. As the didact was the forrunners greatest warrior. And the chief is humanitys.

Looks like I didn’t have to link it myself!

But please, people look at this. The plausible answer is pretty much that.

The Guardians are a group of Earth’s greatest warriors fighting to reclaim humanity’s former empire against an ancient darkness. They will team up with the UNSC’s greatest warrior, the Master Chief, to: defend Dinklebot from endless hordes of grunt-like enemies; go to masterfully realized worlds, only to discover the size of the map is ridiculously small; and discover that the competitive multiplayer is broken as hell, and everyone tends to use close range scatter shot weapons, or even magic. Dat crap is broken.

Basically, the next Destiny game.

Will this game makes us pay $20 for emoticons and have exclusive content on Playstation?

doubtful. Even the new intro suggests forerunner in origin. Plus the creative designer already confirmed no Flood in Halo 5.

Those sons of -Yoinks!- who stopped me from escaping from that awful map, snowbound.

Yeah, it was magical. 5 months ago.

Again, you’re looking at posts from 5 months ago, before we even knew anything about Guardians or the Flood. Look before you post.

@Trio - Refer to my sticky thread. Don’t respond to people, you’re just escalating the situation.

@Everyone else - Old thread is old.
