| '''''Guardian''''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] map. Reminiscent of ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer maps [[Lockout (Level)|''Lockout'']] and [[Ascension (Level)|''Ascension'']], Guardian is a medium sized level comprised of catwalks and small rooms, which make the level feel smaller than it actually is. Its asymmetric layout makes it great for Slayer and Team Slayer gametypes, while its central platform makes for interesting games of King of the Hill. It consists of visible design elements of both Lockout and Ascension in a jungle setting. It's quite a small map made of walkways, rooms and platforms suspended high in the air making it that if you fall, you die.

| <!--This section is for Forge tips, do not put things like "Add a brute shot, its more fun" Give good reasons WHY and WHERE to add the object(s), like "Adding shield doors in the main hallway will change the flow of battle to the sides of it, allowing for more heated firefights in the side allies." Thank you for keeping Halopedia neat-->
| |
| *Using Gravity Lifts, you can allow the players to move from the lower to the upper "decks" of the level with out having to go to the ramps.
| |
| *It is possible to stick objects to the ceiling of the blue room.
| |
| *It is possible to get out of the map using forge. First spawn a sender node in the lift room. Then by the power cores, look in the corner and spawn a reciever node. Go through and you'll be out.

| |
| *Guardian's location remains unknown, although it is theorized to be on [[the Ark]] or the [[Yanme'e|Drone]] homeworld of [[Palamok]].
| |
| *"''Guardian''" was first seen as a reference in the hexadecimal code of the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]''. Later, it was confirmed to be in the final game of ''Halo 3'' when it was detailed in an issue of ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' magazine and an article in the Japanese magazine ''Famitsu''.
| |
| *The September 2007 issue of ''[[EGM]]'' claimed that ''Guardian'' is the "''Jub-Jub''" map that Bungie referred to numerous times in their weekly updates, an undying love reference to the Ewok's dialogue in ''Star Wars: Return of the Jedi''.
| |
| **There may also be a link between the name "Jub-Jub", the [[Halo Dinosaurs|Dinosaur Birds]] and Lewis Carroll's poem ''Jabberwocky'', which contains the lines "''Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!''"
| |
| *There are a number of indistinct voices whispering in the background.
| |
| *The Dinosaur Birds can be seen on this map and can be closely examined by Forge or theater. They can also be shot and killed with any long/medium range precision weapon.
| |
| *A picture of ''Guardian'' appears in ''Wired''. <ref>''Wired Magazine''- Issue Sept. 2007 - Pg 145</ref>
| |
| *If one listens careful, one can hear the screeches made by the [[Dino-Birds]] in the background.
| |
| *If players jump below the proto-man-cannons, they will levitate beneath them. This is an excellent sniping spot and may be a Carney hole. If the player moves inward, they will be shot to the center of the map. If they move outward, they will plummet to their death.
| |
| *Due to Matchmaking adjustments, ''Guardian'' has so far been the only ''Halo 3'' map in Matchmaking that only has one equipment spawn point, the Bubble Shield, as the Flare on this map was removed.
| |
| *When examining the center Platform, players can notice that the entire platform and lower compartment is almost identical to the [[Blood Gulch]] bases with the exception for lack of the stairs leading to the roof. In addition the walkway to the Blue Room is coincidentally placed of the location of the "magnum platform" from the roof of the base. Plus, the location of the original green teleporters being located on the spot of the open section leading to the "Green Area". In addition, the location of the original two base ramps being replaced with walkways leading to the Gravity Lift room and the Sniper tower. And finally, the lower entrance to the "Green Area" is located on the same spot as the original front base entrance.
| |
| <!--*The [[Grav Lift]] in this map uses the same sound effect as one of the background creatures on the planet Malestare from the Star Wars franchise.
| |
| if you have a specific reference for this, add it. Otherwise, it's invisible.
| |
| -->
| |
| *There is a secret area, In forge you need to float to the tallest tree stump and float over the broken tree and on the other side, there is a small ledge for you to hide in but its a small area because of invisible walls, to get back out you float over the tree again.
| |
| *The environment on the level has somewhat of resemblance to the cover of ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''.
| |
| *Guardian was originally a Campaign mission set in a vast jungle, and dotted with Forerunner structures. It would have featured the [[Guardian Sentinel]] as a fightable enemy, but was cut due to production schedules. <ref>http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/966/966319p1.html</ref>
| |
| *Before the announcement of [[Blackout (Level)|Blackout]] many people believed that Guardian was made as a near-remake of the most played Halo 2 map [[Lockout (Level)|Lockout]] due to the many similarities in the layout of the maps.
| |
| *In an issue GamePro, it was stated that Guardian was originally a small part in a large level of Halo 3, called Guardian Forest, that was cut from the game before release. The only other surviving section of this map is that a Hornet air battle was transferred to the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]
| |
| *There is a Carney hole located above the active camo that can be reached by jumping.
| |
| *The Nebula in the blue room is almost exactly like the one on the floor of the bridge extending tower on the level "Delta Halo" in Halo 2.
| |
| *Bungie originally designed the map to be an enormous tree stump, supported by smaller tree stumps.<ref>''“Guardian was originally a single, enormous tree stump in the middle of the space supported by other tree stumps with everything sort of interconnected via the various platforms. Giant trees are just cool to me. I eventually ended up combining the trees into one in order to weight the map towards a single direction and allowed players to travel through the tree itself -- a hollowed out stump and you could actually play inside it. Then the middle structure became the floating platform and not a tree in and of itself.”'' - [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Guardian_Postmortem Bungie.net]</ref>
| |
| *What looks like Guardian is featured in the [[Halo Legends]] film, [[Origins]]. It can be seen near the end of Origins II when the [[Master Chief]] encounters the [[Gravemind]].
