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.

I dont remember where I read it or heard it,but I recall someone saying that one of the factions may actually be an NPC faction.I think what I read/heard said that Osiris may be this NPC faction. Maybe Vanguard is an NPC class that is part of the NPC faction.Maybe this NPC faction of NPC Guardians known as Vanguards will work with other factions and players so much so that once you make it so far in the game you get a Vanguard companion that grows as you do. While my idea is unrealistic, it (I think) is a cool idea. I have found that this game has broadened my imagination a bit. A more realistic idea is that Bungie is just f**king with us because they can.You and I both know that we would to if we was on the Destiny project. I think that their Vanguards are just their characters in the game not a special class,just a little name for themselfs because they feel they are pushing the envelope with this game (which may be an understatement). Avant-garde:- (from french,"advance guard" or "vanguard") refers to people or works that are experimental or innovative,particularly with the respect to art,culture,and politics. Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the curtral realm,,etc,,etc.. I found this on Wikipedia. Now I think that when Vanguards were first mentioned, it was merely a name for themselves that the team deamed fit because as I said before and as you read the definition provided, they felt they were pushing the envelope of the gaming world. And maybe once they seen how excited the fans became at this little sliver of possibly accidental information, they felt that they needed to give us a little something for our excitement ,hence the Vanguard armor. Now please do not allow my words in this comment to hold to much weight,they are merely ideas and theories. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
