How was Red vs. Blue made using Halo?
Rooster Teeth recorded multiplayer gameplay inside Halo and added scripted dialogue, editing and character voices, a technique known as machinima. The first episodes used the Blood Gulch map from the original Xbox game.
Are the Reds and Blues actually fighting a real war?
The early Blood Gulch story presents two incompetent teams guarding opposing bases in an apparently pointless canyon. Later seasons reveal larger conspiracies involving Project Freelancer, artificial intelligences and characters such as the Director.
