}}'''WarGames''' is a ''Halo''-based machinima comedy miniseries created by [[Syp The Mighty]]. This series centers on Commander [[Ignacio Dominguez]] of the [[HQ|UNSC Cosmo]] bringing a group of [[Protocol Robots|protocol robots]] from a [[Outpost Pit Fall|military training facility]] to be retrofitted for a real operation led by a [[Louie Vargas|Spartan IV]] under his command.
}}'''BattleDudes''' is the informal name for various comedy sketches machinimated within the ''[[Halo]]'' video games.

Because of this, ''BattleDudes'' can be seen as a precursor to ''WarGames''.
 
When produced, this miniseries was considered to occur during and after [[Classic Season 1|the first season]] of the [[Guard Duty Classic|''Classic'' continuity]]. When [[Guard Duty|the series continuity was reset]], ''WarGames'' was retained to occur sometime during ''[[Season 1]]''.

*This series is technically a spinoff of an [[Spite Box]]'s older series, ''[[The Shadowplayer Show]]'', with the [[Protocol Robots]] (sans [[Unit P|Pink]]) debuting in that series.
*''[[WarGames]]'' was spawned from this series, with the color-coded robots being a central focus of that series. Green and Red also appear in ''[[Why-Fi]]'', with Green donning his ''Chief & MLG'' design.
**[[Syp The Mighty]]'s voice for [[Unit R|Red]] is carried over from ''The Shadowplayer Show'' for the [[Boss|premiere of this series]], with the explanation for the change to Speakonia being explained in [[Upgrade|the following episode]].
*This series crossed over with ''[[Sandguardians]]'' in a parody of that series, changing the events of an episode to feature [[Green]] eliminating everyone else.
*''WarGames'' reveals the fates of the central characters from ''[[Major Malfunction]]'', an older ''Halo''-based machinima series with a similar premise to ''[[Guard Duty]]'' that featured music from [[Revoltge]] and was co-created by [[Syp The Mighty]].
*When produced, these episodes were not considered a series and instead were all one-offs.
*While considered a side series, ''WarGames'' provides much of the world-building that episodes created afterward would rely on, such as ''[[Classic Season 2]]'' and ''[[Season 1]]''. This series establishes:
**[[Outpost Pit Fall]], while not referred to by name, is a training facility in which Spartans practice in simulated firefight exercises.
**The [[HQ|UNSC Cosmo]], the [[UNSC]]-owned frigate that commands [[Outpost Black Out]] and other outposts as well as fleshing out its [[Ignacio Dominguez|commander]] by extension.
**[[The Damned]], an alliance of various non-human species attempting to awaken a Forerunner called "Starbreaker."
**[[Outpost High Ground]], another outpost under the UNSC Cosmo's command. This outpost appeared in ''[[Major Malfunction]]'', but is placed into the ''[[Guard Duty]]'' continuity here.
**The [[Brigadier]], a Spartan and humanity's greatest champion investigating incidents involving [[Emery Eden]] without knowing who he is.
**[[Molotov]] and [[Cocktail]], two assassins assisting in the Brigadier's investigation.
*Despite being produced as part of ''[[Guard Duty Classic]]'', Syp and Revoltge still consider this series to be canonical to the [[Guard Duty|main series continuity]].

These sketches introduced Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and a younger Ignacio Dominguez, who would be given their own spinoff series in the form of WarGames. Because of this, BattleDudes can be seen as a precursor to WarGames.
