They had already gotten into slipspace by the time the forerunners had to deal with them so the EMP's wernt going to do much good, plus there was still the massive issue of the Logic Plauge that turned everything that thought in 1s and 0s to the flood's side.Quote from: Korra on February 04, 2016, 10:10:04 PMThe Greatest Hunt in Gaming HistoryNo offense but I was hoping we could keep the thread less cynical and more on constructive criticism of specific aspects of the story. Plus this is the billionth time we've made that exact joke anyway.The Greatest Hunt in Gaming History

Hell, if you still think their existence is dumb, then take a reference to them all the way back in Halo 3:L: The Mantle. You still hold to that [fairy tale] after all that has happened? After this thing has consumed a million worlds? Can't you see? Belief in the Mantle sealed our doom! Weakened our [protectorates], bred dependence and sloth. Our [so-called Guardianship] has stripped those we would keep safe of any capacity for self-defense!Were we such noble [Guardians] when we drew our line and abandoned billions to the parasite?

All Halo 5 mentions of them (aside from the Concussive blasts pre-slipspace and the EMP at the end) is that each one is capable of patrolling an entire solar system, which leaves the specific armaments very open to the imagination.
Of course, but then at the end of Halo 5 you see it using an EMP blast to take out all of what is presumebly Earth.

It just wasn't made clear if a Guardian had any other weaponry. The Emergency Slipspace implied that either the UNSC Infinity wasn't confident their MAC rounds could do any damage, or charge up in time, which leaves room for speculation on the Structural integrity of a Guardian, and what we know of existing Forerunner tech with the Mantle's approach.
Anyway, I've come to the conclusion Halo 6 will feature human enemies. 343i's laid the plot point that the UNSC no longer is the sole creator of Spartans, and that many mega-corporations dealing with the military industrial complex are more or less under Created control.
Gotta agree with Zonda on this one, Admirals. I'm sure the forerunners didnt build 2 mile tall robot Phoenixes to protect the galaxy to only give then the ability to teleport and fart EMPs.
I thought it was only the new models of Mjolnir armor that were being made by private corperations. When was it said that they were producing Spartans as well?
Surreptitious recovery of Spartan tissue and organs,
QuoteSurreptitious recovery of Spartan tissue and organs,Oh shit, how'd this end up happening? Are people hunting spartans or something? Is someone at ONI letting this happen?

To the UNSC, or groups looking to reverse engineer Spartan augmentations.

By the way I havent listened to all of the Audiologs. What does that forerunner in the domain actualy say? anything important, and are there any other important audiologs?
Fuck pizza skins
For the reason why Locke was hunting the chief to me this would be a far better reason than what we got. It strats off the same but when we catch up with the Chief this is what we see. The Chief ends up getting tricked into activating the guardians which Locke doesn't know, but he still see's him doing it. Before they can have their encounter they both end up getting separated and when Locke gets back up to the surface. He see's the guarding leaving and the whole colony is destroyed before anybody was able to make it out. Due to this along with the mass destruction on other human colonies he ends up having the hatred for the Chief we see in the trailer.

It would've been even better if they'd have added Biko to the story so that all that business could have been pinned on him, too
