WarGames is a Halo-based machinima comedy miniseries created by Syp The Mighty. This series centers on Commander Ignacio Dominguez of the UNSC Cosmo bringing a group of protocol robots from a military training facility to be retrofitted for a real operation led by a Spartan IV under his command.

When produced, this miniseries was considered to occur during and after the first season of the Classic continuity. When the series continuity was reset, WarGames was retained to occur sometime during Season 1.

Trivia

• This series is technically a spinoff of an Spite Box's older series, The Shadowplayer Show, with the Protocol Robots (sans Pink) debuting in that series.
  • Syp The Mighty's voice for Red is carried over from The Shadowplayer Show for the premiere of this series, with the explanation for the change to Speakonia being explained in the following episode.
• 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.
• 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 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 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, Syp and Revoltge still consider this series to be canonical to the main series continuity.
