Hey I recently took an ingame screen shot in muliplayer (v 1.06) with the PRINT/SCREEN and when I pressed the button it took a screen shot, I know this because it gave the game a tiny pause when I pressed it.

Now I want to access the screen shot, and I cant find it anywhere on my computer... Do you guys know where the directory is where the screen shot is located? Has anyone had accessed their ingame screen shot before?

Thanks, LAPD11

You could use


Ctrl+Print Screen

That will be like A copy of the whole screen...Then you can open paint or something and put paste.that works too.

After you take the screenshot, you can paste it somewhere, like paint or word. The screenshot is like the copy function, except it takes everything on the screen

hmm I tried finding it in the C/microsoftgame/halo/screenshots, but there isnt a screenshot folder, and Iv tried over and over to find them, so could someone take a screen shot in the game, and then later tell me how to access it?
Thanks, Paul

the folder doesn't exist untill you start taking screenshots.
to take a screenshot:
add -screenshot to your halo shortcut target
play halo, and press 'print screen' when you see something cool
got to the above nemed directory
look at screenshots

Alright I added the target -screenshot and it works (now a screen shot directory, with files in), but now I need to find a program that can open them, Iv already tried Paint and Word and obviously they dont work, any other suggestions on which programs I can use to open them?
