I've been playing Halo since it was released and I have yet to come across these mysteries until just recently. Here's the set up, me and 4 friends where playing Prisoner with rockets only. Our names where Psychosis, Havoc, Lord Whore, Necron, and Superman ( I doubt this is relevant but....). Anyway things where getting hectic as expected when suddenly I die. No rockets hit me, no grenades blew, and no one wacked me melee style. I look up for the kill tag and it says " Psychosis was killed by The Guardians". Can some1 offer an explination please? Secondly we where playing a 4 player match in Rat Race...free for all nothing special. I have a sneaky tactic of changing my color to green and hiding inside the teleporters. I see my friend chasing me so I duck inside and stay on the other side. He tries to enter the teleporter and cant because I'm blockin it, but my screen starts to flash white and pulse faster and faster. I die. I look at the kill tag and its says "Psychosis was Telefragged". Has either of these situations happened to anyone else and if so please explain. thx

Guardians is when you are killed by two or more people at the same time and the Xbox cannot decide who got it. If it was hectic, then you were probably whacked by two people. It happens.
Telefragged is when the teleporter is blocked by someone, in this case you, and someone else wants to go through. Your screen will go white, that means get the hell off the teleporter, or you'll die. It's made to make you move off and let people get through. Blocking is unfair.

Thanks for the clarifacation. By the way I dont camp in the porters, ususally I do it when someone is chasing me. Some levels have teleporters large enough for another person to fit through while I stay inside and wait for them to pass by. Its a nice tactic when some one has a shotgun breathing down your neck.

Yeah, I know. I do it to. I just die, unfortunatly. Theirs always someone with a rocket launcher on the other end and a sweaty trigger finger.

This has been posted so many times its freaky, but its ok because the first time I was killed by the guardians I freaked too, and thought I was the only one in the world that this had happened to.

bah

Next time you face a telefrag, jump and duck at the same time. Some teleporters are large enough for you to do this. The person should then pass under you. Great chance to melee their back too. I wouldn't recommend getting into the habit of doing this in a LAN though, as it tends to piss off your friends.
