Screen Shots From Halo 3
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 piece concentrates on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.
Before we mention the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s take 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 purchased the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to choose screenshots. A great deal can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites available to people, a lot of it has been documented.
One of the things in Halo 3 that has frequently 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 look up the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots, you’ll find a picture 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 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 lot like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And guess what? – they’re absolutely correct.
The makers of Halo 3 wanted to make it a lot easier for players to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to share them on the Internet. In order to achieve this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the video 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 takes place 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 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 entire game can be watched from various viewpoints on the Xbox 360.
Which means to say that a player can watch 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.
