When a video game series is as wildly famous 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 mentioning the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let's take 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 each person who bought the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to select screen shots. A lot can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites available to people, a lot of it has been uploaded.
One of the issues in Halo 3 that has often 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 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 people, because he does not really 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 correct.
The designers of Halo 3 decided to make it a lot simpler for players to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to post them all over the Internet. In order to achieve this, they created a 'Saved Films' feature in the video game. This feature permits players 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 occurs in the game, so it can later be converted into videos are screenshots.
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 images or video, they're real game data. This means two things: 1] the file size is pretty small and 2] the whole game can be watched from different angles on the Xbox 360.
Which means to say that a person could replay a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they watch it. That's a great deal better than simple Halo 3 screenshots. - 31877
