'''Red vs. Blue''', often abbreviated as '''RvB''', is a [[machinima]] series created by [[Rooster Teeth|Rooster Teeth Productions]]. The story centers around the adventures of two teams composed of simulation soldiers. The series is primarily produced using the machinima technique of synchronizing video footage from a game to pre-recorded dialogue and other audio. Footage is mostly from the multiplayer modes of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and its sequels | '''Red vs. Blue''', often abbreviated as '''RvB''', is a [[machinima]] series created by [[Rooster Teeth|Rooster Teeth Productions]].

The series is published by [[Rooster Teeth|Rooster Teeth Productions]], originally available for download per episode at their site and later released on DVD. Praised for its originality, the series has won a total of four awards from the Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences. Although mainly a satirical and absurdist comedy, the show often touches on deeper philosophy about the meaning of war when it comes down to individual soldiers; as well as other more serious themes such as human morals in the face of extinction and the humanity of artificial intelligence. The characters occasionally question the validity of their mission and whether or not it accomplishes anything, a common theme in commentary about the ethics of war. | The series is published by [[Rooster Teeth|Rooster Teeth Productions]], originally available for download per episode at their site and later released on DVD.

Season 13 is a direct follow-up to Season 12 and the last season of the Chorus Trilogy, in which the Blood Gulch Crew, the New Republic and the Federal Army of Chorus join forces to go to war against Chairman Malcom Hargrove and his space pirates. While this season is the last of the Chorus Trilogy, it doesn't fully conclude the story of many characters, including most members of the Blood Gulch Crew, Locus and the inhabitants of Chorus. | Season 13 is a direct follow-up to Season 12 and the last season of the Chorus Trilogy, in which the Blood Gulch Crew, the New Republic and the Federal Army of Chorus join forces to go to war against Chairman Malcom Hargrove and his space pirates.
