Halo 3 Screenshots

When a video game series is as wildly famous as the Halo series, which includes Halo 3, of course, then the result is going to be many screenshots takes. This article concentrates on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.

Before we get 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 so far. That means that if every person who purchased the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to make screenshots. A lot can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites online, a lot of it has been documented.

One of the things in Halo 3 that has often been copied in Halo 3 screenshots is the identity of Master Chief or more specifically, what his face looks like. If you use Google 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 Halo 3 screenshots showing in the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone commented that it looked 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 easier for players to take Halo 3 screenshots and to post them all over the Internet. In order to accomplish 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 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.

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: 1] the file size is very small and 2] the entire game can be watched from different angles on the Xbox 360.

That means that a person could watch 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.
