First and foremost, I apologize as I'm sure at some point in the forum history this topic has been discussed. Unfortunately, since my time on the Bungie forums, I am yet to have seen any threads regarding the "Guardians." So here 'goes.
While I'm sure the Guardians need no introduction or explanation to most, I'll give a quick run-down just in the rare case of an uninformed reader. The Guardians -- based on my knowledge -- only make an appearance in Halo:CE multiplayer games. Instead of the usual, "Big L was killed by Wheezy" (or what have you), occasionally a player will be killed by the “Guardians”, resulting in a "Pirate was killed by The Guardians." In my experience, this happens most frequently when two players seemingly kill each other at the same time.
So, the question is, or questions rather, does anyone know exactly why this happens? And secondly, why did Bungie choose to use the 'Guardians'? Is there any significance?
