When a video game series is as wildly famous as the Halo series, which includes Halo 3, of course, then it’s bound to result in there being thousands of screenshots takes. This article focuses on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.
Before mentioning the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s take a look at the numbers 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 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 great deal can take place in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites available to people, loads 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 a search engine to find the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots, you’ll find a screenshot 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 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 little bit like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And guess what? – they’re absolutely right.
The makers of Halo 3 decided to make it a lot simpler for people to take Halo 3 screenshots and to share them on the Internet. To accomplish this they created a saved films feature right inside the game. This feature allows players 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 occurs in the game, so it can later be converted 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 pictures or film, they are actual game data. This means two things: A] the file size is very small and B] the whole game can be replayed from different viewpoints on the Xbox 360.
Which means to say that a person could replay a game again and again, seeing new things in new places every time they watch it. That’s a great deal better than plain Halo 3 screenshots.
