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 focuses on some of the weird and wild Halo 3 screenshots.
Before we mention the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s take a look at the numbers that create 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 select screenshots. A great deal can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the image-uploading websites online, a great deal of it has been uploaded.
One of the things in Halo 3 that has often been documented in Halo 3 screenshots is the identity of Master Chief 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 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 right.
The designers of Halo 3 wanted to make it much simpler for people to take Halo 3 screenshots and to share them all over the Internet. To accomplish this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the game. This feature permits 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 would like to see. 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 watching 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 pretty small and B] the whole game can be watched from different viewpoints on the Xbox 360.
That means that a person can watch 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.
