WarGames is a Halo-based machinima comedy miniseries created by Syp The Mighty. Taking place in the same world as Guard Duty, WarGames centers on HQ's Commander Ignacio Dominguez bringing a group of protocol robots from a Spartan training facility to be retrofitted for an actual military operation led by a Spartan IV under his command.
When produced, this miniseries was considered to occur during and after Classic Season 1 as part of the original series continuity. When the main series continuity was reset, WarGames was retained as canonical to occur sometime during Season 1. This series is also a standalone sequel to Major Malfunction, wrapping up the cliffhanger left by that series.

Trivia
- 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.
- 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 main series continuity.
