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 get on to the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s have a look at the figures that create all of this media. Over 9 million copies of Halo 3 have been sold so far. 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 choose screenshots. A lot can take place in 90 million hours, and with all the image-uploading websites available to people, a great deal of it has been uploaded.
One of the issues in Halo 3 that has frequently 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 players, because he does not really have one.
Another one of the Halo 3 screenshots featuring in the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone commented that it looked a lot like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And do you know what? – they’re absolutely correct.
The makers of Halo 3 wanted to make it much easier for people to take Halo 3 screenshots and to share them all over the Internet. To accomplish this they created a saved films feature right inside the 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 want to have. 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 watching of previously saved films. You see, the saves are not just images or film, they are real game data. This means two things: A] the file size is pretty small and B] the whole 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, seeing new things in new places every time they watch it. That’s a great deal better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.
