When a video game series is as widely popular as the Halo set is (which includes Halo 3, of course) then the result is going to be many screenshots available. This piece concentrates on some of the weird and wild Halo 3 screenshots.

Before mentioning the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s take 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 every person who purchased the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to choose screen shots. A great deal can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites online, loads of it has been documented.

One of the issues 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 find 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 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 posted that it looked a lot 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 people to take Halo 3 screenshots and to share them all over the Internet. To achieve this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the game. This feature allows 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 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 watching of previously saved films. You see, the saves are not just pictures or video, they are actual game data. This means two things: A] the file size is pretty small and B] the whole game can be watched from different angles on the Xbox 360.

This means to say that a person can 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.
