==Trivia==
*The entire cast from ''[[Classic Season 2]]'' reprise their roles for this series, while Winter and Firesinopa from ''[[Classic Season 1]]'' have been cast as Eleanor Winkler and Felicity Benes respectively.
*Unlike ''Classic'', in which Syp The Mighty primarily wrote by herself, Revoltge has co-written every episode of this series and Rat's Nest.
*While obviously non-canonical to the ''[[Halo]]'' video games as a fan work, ''Guard Duty'' seems to occur sometime after the events of ''Halo 4'' whilst being filmed within the ''Halo 3'' engine.

==Trivia==
*Though obviously non-canonical to the ''[[Halo]]'' video games as a fan work, [[Syp The Mighty]] considers the events of this series occurs sometime after the events of ''Halo 3''.
*This series is filmed within the ''[[Halo#The Master Chief Collection|Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' game engine, specifically ''Halo 3''.
*Before the development of ''[[Season 1]]'', various attempts at rebooting the series were attempted between 2012 and 2022 including:
**A reboot in which ''[[Annoyances]]'' was to be the first episode of that was originally made while Syp was part of machinima group Firelight Studios to be set entirely on [[Outpost Black Out]]. Six episodes were written for this version, with Revoltge co-writing the first two episodes, structured like a sitcom. This version was scrapped upon Syp's departure from Firelight Studios, with Revoltge never being part of the group to begin with.
**A second reboot that ''[[Question]]'' and ''[[Bagels]]'' were made to promote. This version was fully written, with 10 episodes, and would have had a completely different plot with more mystery elements. This alternate version only had two episodes written, with little plot. When Syp took an extended hiatus from video making to focus on her own original webcomics, this version was scrapped.
**A third reboot while Syp was part of a sketch comedy group 06 Media, with her friends Dagnarrow and Dazalaras to star with her. This version was also fully written, with 19 episodes, once again with a completely different plot that would have saw [[Jace Casper]] as part of the main group instead of June in addition to [[Diego Jones|Jones]] from ''[[Major Malfunction]]'' as a sixth guard. When 06 Media went on an indefinite hiatus, this version was scrapped.
**Various unmade versions including a pilot for a fourth reboot set earlier in the timeline of when the guards first meet, an original live action comedy short for 06 Media featuring Geff and Jace, an original webcomic reboot part of Syp's ''CLEG'' series, and an original stop-motion reboot using figures hand-crafted by Syp. All of which would be scrapped upon the production on ''Classic Season 2''.

Trivia

  • Though obviously non-canonical to the Halo video games as a fan work, Syp The Mighty considers the events of this series occurs sometime after the events of Halo 3.
  • This series is filmed within the Halo: The Master Chief Collection game engine, specifically Halo 3.
  • Before the development of Season 1, various attempts at rebooting the series were attempted between 2012 and 2022 including:
    • A reboot in which Annoyances was to be the first episode of that was originally made while Syp was part of machinima group Firelight Studios to be set entirely on Outpost Black Out. Six episodes were written for this version, with Revoltge co-writing the first two episodes, structured like a sitcom. This version was scrapped upon Syp's departure from Firelight Studios, with Revoltge never being part of the group to begin with.
    • A second reboot that Question and Bagels were made to promote. This version was fully written, with 10 episodes, and would have had a completely different plot with more mystery elements. This alternate version only had two episodes written, with little plot. When Syp took an extended hiatus from video making to focus on her own original webcomics, this version was scrapped.
    • A third reboot while Syp was part of a sketch comedy group 06 Media, with her friends Dagnarrow and Dazalaras to star with her. This version was also fully written, with 19 episodes, once again with a completely different plot that would have saw Jace Casper as part of the main group instead of June in addition to Jones from Major Malfunction as a sixth guard. When 06 Media went on an indefinite hiatus, this version was scrapped.
    • Various unmade versions including a pilot for a fourth reboot set earlier in the timeline of when the guards first meet, an original live action comedy short for 06 Media featuring Geff and Jace, an original webcomic reboot part of Syp's CLEG series, and an original stop-motion reboot using figures hand-crafted by Syp. All of which would be scrapped upon the production on Classic Season 2.
