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 thousands of screenshots available. This piece focuses on some of the weird and wild Halo 3 screenshots.

Before we mention the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s have 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 bought the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to select screenshots. A great deal can happen in 90 million hours, and with all the picture-uploading websites available to people, a great deal of it has been uploaded.

One of the things in Halo 3 that has frequently been documented in Halo 3 screenshots is what Master Chief looks like or more specifically, what his face is like. If you use a search engine 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 appearing in the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone posted that it looked a little bit like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And do you know what? – they’re absolutely correct.

The makers of Halo 3 wanted to make it much easier for people to take Halo 3 screenshots and to share them on the Internet. To accomplish this they created a saved films feature right inside the game. This feature permits people 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 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.

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 images or video, they’re real game data. This means two things: A] the file size is very small and B] the whole game can be replayed from different angles 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 lot better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.
