Halo 3: Screenshots
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 takes. This article concentrates on some of the weird and wonderful Halo 3 screenshots.
Before getting on to 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 to date. 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 screen shots. A lot can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the image-uploading websites available to people, a lot of it has been documented.
One of the things in Halo 3 that has often been documented 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 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 much easier for people to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to share them on the Internet. To achieve this, they created a 'Saved Films' feature in the 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 viewing 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 entire game can be watched from different angles on the Xbox 360.
Which means to say that a player could watch a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they watch it. That's a great deal better than plain Halo 3 screenshots. - 2361
