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.

It is speculated that Guardian (level) will smell distinctivly worse than its little sister, Lockout.
