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 takes. This article focuses on some of the weird and wonderful 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 so far. That means that if each person who purchased the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to choose screen shots. A lot can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites available to people, a lot of it has been uploaded.
One of the issues in Halo 3 that has often been documented in Halo 3 screenshots is what Master Chief looks like or more specifically, what his face is like. If you use Google to look up the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots, you’ll find a screenshot of Master Chief lying dead on the ground, clearly not revealing a face inside his helmet. This explains why we never see his face, say many people, because he does not actually have one.
Another one of the top Halo 3 screenshots showing in the 10 most popular Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone said that it looked a lot like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And guess what? – they’re absolutely correct.
The designers of Halo 3 wanted to make it much easier for players to take Halo 3 screenshots and to share them on the Internet. In order to achieve this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the video game. This feature permits people to slow down the action, or even to freeze it, change the camera angles and even move the camera around to get exactly the screenshot they would like to see. Generally speaking, the ‘Save Films’ feature records all the action that occurs in the game, so it can later be turned into videos are screenshots.
Yet another feature that has a little bit 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 images or video, they’re real game data. This means two things: A] the file size is pretty small and B] the entire game can be watched from different angles on the Xbox 360.
Which means to say that a player could watch a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they watch it. That’s a lot better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.
