Okay, here's the setup: 4 player race on sidewinder, 2-on-2. As I'm heading towards the second flag, up on a ledge by a rocket launcher, one of my opponents gets a little too close. I drain his shield with a charged up plasma pistol, then run in and melee him. Then, just a split second after he dies, there's a yellow flash around me like when you get hit by a vehicle and I drop dead, and my screen says, "Chrizzle was killed by the Guardians."
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT??? Has that ever happened to anyone else? And no, there was no one playing with the screen name "The Guardians". The guy I killed immediately before says he didn't get a last-minute melee in or anything. None of the other players killed me. We were all completely stumped. Please, I need answers... I can't sleep at night knowing they're out there, watching, striking whenever they please.... the Guardians.... ::sobs::

this is nothing new. It just happens when the game can't decide who killed who in a melee attack battle. It happens all the time.

Man, I have played a LOT of Halo (20+ LAN get-togethers, countless nights with my roommate) and I've only seen this happen the one time. I mean, many's the time two players have died simultaneously meleeing each other, but only once was there a distinct delay and the message 'killed by the guardians'. Weird. Anyone else have any input?
