Screen Shots From Halo 3

When a video game series is as widely popular as the Halo set is (which includes Halo 3, of course) then it’s bound to result in there being thousands of screenshots takes. This piece focuses on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.

Before we mention the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s have 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 take place in 90 million hours, and with all the image-uploading websites available to people, a great deal of it has been documented.

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 looks like. If you use Google 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 players, because he does not really have one.

Another one of the Halo 3 screenshots appearing in the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone posted that it looked a little bit like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And do you know what? – they’re absolutely correct.

The designers of Halo 3 decided to make it much simpler for people to take Halo 3 screenshots and to post them on the Internet. To accomplish this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the game. This feature permits people 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 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 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 very small and B] the entire game can be replayed from different angles on the Xbox 360.

Which 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 great deal better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.
