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 concentrates on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.
Before getting on to the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s have 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 online, loads of it has been documented.
One of the issues in Halo 3 that has often been copied in Halo 3 screenshots is what Master Chief looks like or more specifically, what his face looks like. If you use a search engine 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 players, because he does not actually have one.
Another one of the top Halo 3 screenshots appearing 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 do you know what? – they’re absolutely right.
The designers of Halo 3 wanted to make it much simpler for players to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to share them all over the Internet. In order to achieve this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the video game. This feature allows 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 want to have. Generally speaking, the ‘Save Films’ feature records all the action that takes place in the game, so it can later be converted 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 images or video, they’re actual 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.
This means to say that a player could replay a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they replay it. That’s a lot better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.
