Halo 3 Screenshots

When a video game series is as wildly popular as the Halo series, which includes Halo 3, of course, then it’s bound to result in there being many screenshots available. This piece concentrates on some of the weird and wild Halo 3 screenshots.

Before getting on to the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s take a look at the figures that generate all of this media. Over 9 million copies of Halo 3 have been sold to date. That means that if each person who bought the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to make screen shots. A lot can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the image-uploading websites available to people, a lot of it has been uploaded.

One of the issues in Halo 3 that has often been copied in Halo 3 screenshots is the identity of Master Chief or more specifically, what his face is like. If you use Google to find the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots, you’ll find a picture of Master Chief lying dead on the ground, clearly not showing a face inside his helmet. This explains why we never see his face, say many people, because he does not actually have one.

Another of the Halo 3 screenshots featuring in the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots is that of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone commented that it looks a little bit like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And guess what? – they’re absolutely correct.

The makers of Halo 3 wanted to make it a lot easier for people to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to post them all over the Internet. To achieve this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the game. This feature permits people to slow down the action, or even to freeze it, change the camera position and even move the camera around to get exactly the screenshot they want to have. Generally speaking, the ‘Save Films’ feature records all the action that takes place in the game, so it can later be turned into videos are screenshots.

Yet another feature that has a lot to do with Halo 3 screenshots in the ‘Save Films’ feature, is the viewing of previously saved films. You see, the saves are not just pictures or film, they are real game data. This means two things: A] the file size is very small and B] the whole game can be watched from various viewpoints on the Xbox 360.

Which means to say that a person can replay a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they look at it. That’s a lot better than plain Halo 3 screenshots.
