Red vs Blue is one of the OG fan-made web series of internet lore, based on the Bungie days of Halo, but sadly it will soon be coming to an end.
Since its inception back in 2003, produced by Rooster Teeth Productions, Red vs. Blue was based on the popular Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer developed by Bungie, and the series evolved with various iterations of the Halo series, now handled by 343 Industries. However, rather than just having straight-up matches, Red vs. Blue was a comedy series created in the Halo engine which told the tale of the rivalries between beloved characters, Sarge, Grif, Tucker, Caboose, Donut and more.
