Trivia
- This series reveals the fates of the central characters from Major Malfunction, an older Halo-based machinima series that Syp directed and co-wrote with a similar premise to Guard Duty Classic that featured music from Revoltge.
- This series was filmed using the Halo: The Master Chief Collection game engine, specifically Halo 3.
- As a spinoff of Guard Duty Classic, WarGames provides much of the world-building that episodes created afterward would expand on, particularly Classic Season 2, including:
- Outpost Pit Fall, while not referred to by name, is a training facility in which Spartans practice in simulated firefight exercises.
- The UNSC Cosmo, the UNSC-owned frigate that commands Outpost Black Out and other outposts as well as fleshing out its 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 Trooper without knowing who he is.
- Molotov and Cocktail, two assassins assisting in the Brigadier's investigation.
- Most of this miniseries occurs between The Point and The Transfer, with its finale occurring after Infinity.
- While not directly canonical, WarGames appears to continue directly after the finale of Syp The Mighty's older series BattleDudes, with the training robots (sans Pink) first appearing in that series.
- Syp The Mighty's voice for Red is carried over from BattleDudes for the premiere of this series, with the explanation for the change to Speakonia being explained in the following episode.
