War Games simulations sometimes introduce "balancing" to several weapons and AI units. A notable example is the [[M6_Spartan_Laser#Selene.27s_Lance|M6/E Selene's Lance]], where balancing adds extra recoil to the weapon.

By February [[2558]], War Game simulations were being used regularly by Spartans on the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. Sometime after the UNSC encountered the [[Warden Eternal]] in October 2558 it was added to the [[Warzone]] section of War Games simulations, following the introduction of many other [[Promethean]] constructs to the simulator.
