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.

  • Vanguards are members of the Vanguard. They are a large group that frequently deploys squads to the Frontier areas to gather information about the enemies and other hazards that exist in our lost worlds. They are the scouts and pioneers of the city. As a group, they are well organized and integral to the city's body of Guardians. Their valiant efforts are well acknowledged by the citizenry. Will a player be able to join them? It's possible, but it brings up more questions and issues. Based on the above, I [i]wildly speculate[/i] that there could be a sort of school to train and prepare these Vanguards for the world outside the city walls and the Traveler's Shield. The Vanguard Academy? I guess one could join them and obtain the Vanguard class (or sub-class), and/or the armor many have talked about. If it's an obtainable class/sub-class that would mean that there would need to be many other obtainable classes/sub-classes. "Son, what do you want to be when you grow up? I hope you're considering to become a ship engineer like your father." "Father, I..." A heavy silence fell in the room. "I want to become a Vanguard... I'm enlisting into the Academy."
