For those of you that didn’t have the opportunity to play the Halo 3 Beta you also missed out on a new feature that allows you to save replays of your in game experiences. The beta version of this “theatre” feature was incredibly limited and only allowed the video to be played back from your perspective without the ability to pause, rewind or change to different player perspectives. So it’s easy to see how there wasn’t a whole lot of excitement about simply being able to watch yourself play the game. The excitement for me was in knowing what was to come when this full feature debuted on Halo 3 later this year.

It’s finally official. The Halo 3 film feature will change the face of Halo forever by offering a plethora of tools to improve montage making, machinima video creation, team strategy development and more. The ability to watch the replay from any player’s perspective is huge! If you plan on running some scrims against a lot of teams and find yourself always losing on one specific gametype and map, save the replay and watch how they played. You can pause the replay at any time and switch to any player or go into a free roaming camera! This feature alone will dramatically help to improve team strategy.

I don’t want to share any of my ideas for future montage creations, but suffice it to say you can expect to see some ridiculous montages released by yours truly.

What do you think of the new Halo 3 saved films feature?
