I think I figured out what Vanguards are...

Okay, so here's my theory: In the new info that was added today, it said that they were waiting for more information from the Vanguards, which would be the soldiers on the front lines in this case. We already knew that that was what a Vanguard was, but we weren't sure that was how Bungie was using it. Anyway, who would be on the front lines right now??? If you guessed Bingie employees and maybe play testers, you would be correct. So that would mean that Bungie employees would be Vanguards, right? This is enforced by the fact that Jason Jones was said to have a Vanguard.So we're assuming that this would be a class exclusive to Bungie. There have also been theories that a) A Vanguard is a more advanced Guardian and b) It is a type of armor, and neither one of those really conflicts with my theory. If these Bungie employees were Vanguards, we could assume they might be more advanced than a normal gaurdian because hey, they're Bungie employees. Also, it doesn't really matter that it would be an armor because we could also assume that this more advanced special class would have a special armor set. Anyway, back in Halo 3, Bungie had something that was exclusive to them. [i]Recon[/i]. And people wanted it, and they eventually got it. And just writing this has made me want to get access to this vanguard class. So my question to Bungie is... [i]Can I haz vanguard?[/i] Edit: Well, I guess it's time to make this update. I never meant this thread as much more than a joke (even if I do wish it were real), so if you want some good theories, read the ones other people have thought of in here. Most of them make a lot more sense than mine, so it's probably better to read those.

  • This is good thinking. I thought the same thing when I saw how they were using the term on the new content page. Another thought I had would be that Vanguard will be a title that is given to everyone who participates in the public beta that I assume will be coming eventually. It would be like a special insignia or something perhaps to honor those who have dedicated some time into making this game the best it can be.
