Its a rare occurence but sometimes during the LAN parties I go to Ill melee attack an opponent to kill him, and for no real reason I die as well, no-one gets any credit for the kill and the message "Endnote was killed by the Guardians" comes up and I get a ten second respawn penalty!
And I dont know why!!

i dont know that makes now sense to me but the game can tend to act funny somtimes and do wierd things. i shot blank rockets all the time. i mean theres a rocket in the chamber i hit the trigger and nothing happens, but now i dont have a rocket in the chamber its just gone !

Ah no you are actually firing the rocket, it just flies off to your left for no real reason, me and my friends get that a lot!

Ok here we go... it says you have been killed by the guardians if the game can't work out who killed who. For example person 1 firing a rocket and then being shot by person 2 who gets killed later by the rocket. the game cna't understand person one killed 2 as they're already dead. It therefor just puts that up to save itself confusing stuff up and slowing down the game.

The good thing about getting killed by the guardians is that you get a kill and the other player who whacked you doesnt. But you do have to wait for the respawn penalty. Its kind of a good thing and a bad thing. I once had it happen to me 3 games in a row. I think its a cool glitch or egg.

I've been killed by the Guardians around 5 times. it's a rare occurence, but it sucks. i never knew that was how it happened, thanks

Ok, I've posted on this subject all over the place. I've also been killed by the Guardians on countless occasions.

So, the deal is when player1 kills player2 (arbitrary name assignments) after player1 has been killed by another player, his kill goes to the guardians. This happens mostly during two melee attacking players. For example; both players have no sheild and are low on health. They both run at each other and player2 melees player1, killing him. However, there is about a half second after you die that you can still melee, so player1 melees after he dies, killing player2. Player2 will see,"You were killed by the guardians" while player1 will see nothing.

If you want to see this in action, set up a game with no sheilds, 50% health and do melee attacks only on a small level (Wizard or Prisoner works well).

This actually happened to me and my brother bobby all the time, of course, it was alittle different for us....i'm sure you all know what chiron is....well if you throw a plasma grenade and then you leave the room, it won't explode untill someone enters the room. We called it mining because whenever someone would step through the wrong teleportor they'd die....how this relates to the gaurdians? Well usually we die before the mines blow someone up so when the grenade goes boom, well the gaurdians score.

BTW, when you get hit with an explosive if you watch yourself on another player's screen it kind of turns you sideways in midair, that causes the rocket to fly in a different direction.

"It's better to be dead and cool, than alive and uncool!"

I think the rocket firing off to the right or left happens when you are turning to fast to fire on someone. Does this sentence make any sense to anyone else. Because it does not to me. Sorry.

firing left or right works with the asslt rifel as well, just turn the looking speed to 10 and spin in circles while firing.
the guardians kill me when me and my friends have melee fights and just box eachother. they get mad when i get killed because they dont get the point for killing me but i get the point for killing them
