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 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.

What Is A Halo 3 Mod?

A Halo 3 mod is generally thought of as any software modification that changes the game play in the very popular video game for the Xbox 360, Halo 3. But the term also includes many other modifications, such as physical changes made to the Xbox 360 console to show the world that you are a hard-core Halo fanatic.

However, before anyone can create a Halo 3 mod, they must have the proper tools, together with some technical expertise and knowledge. These tools would usually includes a number of pieces of software that allow people to de-construct, edit, and reconstruct Halo 3 files. It would also involve some hardware to allow the Xbox 360 hard drive to be read into a PC and the files to be restored to that hard drive.

You have to do this because the Xbox 360 is not a unit on which files can be modified. In the past, the hardware developers, in this example Microsoft, made the tools available to those who paid the licensing fee. But over time, especially in the case of Halo 3 mods, the community has developed a number of tools and techniques to achieve what needs to be done for modification.

A Halo 3 mod also includes, as written earlier, physical alterations to the Xbox 360 console itself. For example, some people might take off the case and actually carve the words ‘Halo 3’ into it. They might also accompany this by painting the console red, blue or green to match the colour of the armour of the characters in the game.

However, it’s a pretty extreme way to announce to the world – I like Halo 3 – in that it could result in actual damage that renders the Xbox 360 unplayable. It would also void the guarantee. People often display their customized Xbox 360s on photo-sharing sites such as Flickr and when they go toattend live LAN events.

One of the stipulations that people who are interested in the world of the Halo 3 mod try to focus on is that the mods should not be used for the purpose of cheating. Modifications are fun to get a new aspect on Halo 3 play or a new feel for certain levels. But if they’re used to make the game unfair in favour of one person or team, they destroy the overall game experience for everyone.

One website where a person can find many a Halo 3 mod is H3mod.com. The site calls itself the ‘future of Halo modding’. It seems to be a good place to begin if you want to learn about a Halo 3 mod.
