Red vs Blue comes to an end

Red vs Blue, the machinima series from Rooster Teeth, will finish with the 100th episode.

The headline kind of says it all, but no pithy single sentence can fully encapsulate our sadness of this unfortunate, but necessary finale.

Produced and created by Rooster Teeth Studios, Red vs Blue charts the hilarious battles of the Red and Blue teams in the Halo universe. The series has become synonymous with machinima over the years and has been responsible for modernising the art form and bringing it to a wider audience of geeks.

The series has continued for over a hundred episodes, but now is set to draw to an inevitable close in the next instalment. Creator Michael Burns has refused to give any details of the finale away, saying only that;

"It's the biggest one we've ever done, but The Sopranos stole our ending, so we had to change it completely"

Fans don't need to worry for long though as, like The Vicar of Dibley, the series will never truly end and will return for occasional specials and seasonal one-offs. The 100th episode merely marks the close of the main storyline - though once Halo 3 is released we'd be very surprised if there isn't a mild resurrection.

Rooster Teeth still have a series of other machinimas on the go though and still host a wide selection of web comics and digs at geek culture, so it isn't as if the company is completely shutting down.

A fan of Red vs Blue, or do you think the whole thing is a pile of rubbish? Will you raise a glass in memory of the series, or will you just let it pass quietly into the long night? Let us know your reactions in our forums.

Truly a sad day. I have the DVD's and everything.

Actually if you look at the original message on the Rooster Teeth site, they say the "Blood Gulch Chronicles" will end.

Hopefully, this meas they take off in the ship and find a new place...

Hopefully...

Yes they are....is the rock you've been under good ;)

Seriously tho, RvB has been my weekly entertainment, and will be missed IF it is gone forever...

It translates as "Microsoft are paying us a bucket load of money to produce stuff that they'll will charge you for"

Quite old news really, and yes, as Brooxy said, this is the end of "The Blood Gulch Chronicles", no-one has said anything of RvB being over yet. It looks like Halo 3 has no Blood Gulch-a-like this time, so perhaps they will be continuing the RvB series with a new chronicle.

RvB is the only production that I like from Rooster Teeth so I hope it's only Blood Gulch Chronicles not RvB.

Maybe halo 3 doesn't have that map so they've gotta change. but RT are usually fairly quick to fire blame when this kinda thing happens.

Cmon. This is not a sad day at all. Only the "Blood Gulch Chronicles" are ending. I saw the Rooster Teeth Guys a couple weeks ago at A-Kon in Dallas, an anime convention. They said they will not do a long series like this again but they expect to do other stories and side stories and backstories of characters, some only a couple episodes, some ten or twenty episodes, just no more hundred episode stories. And RoosterTeeth is going nowhere. They are only just starting to get some good paying deals.
