Guardian (map)
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Multiplayer Map Infobox
Guardian[1] is a map referenced in the Halo 3 Beta code. Not much information about it has been provided, and what little there is comes from a leaked issue of EGM magazine and an article in the Japanese magazine Famitsu. Although some speculated it to be a remake of Prisoner, this was debunked when it was proved to be a "spiritual successor" to Lockout.
Instead of a desolate and snowy mountain, Guardian is set in what appears to be a complex surrounded by jungle. Although it bears a vague similarity to Sanctuary in setting, its layout recalls a mixture of Lockout and Ascension. Indeed, it could be seen as a happy medium between the two: while it retains the central area and size of Ascension, its layout and weapon spawns are very reminiscent of Lockout.
Little else is known about Guardian at this time.
