12 Pointless Video Game Details (That Will Blow Your Mind)

11. INSANE Armour Detail - Halo 3

Bungie's work on Halo will forever remain the stuff of legend, but did you ever use Halo 3's Theatre mode to zoom around and really take in the art department's hard work?

Yes, you'll realise the map Valhalla has a rotation of wall messages that change depending on the time of year, but zoom into a Spartan's armour and you'll find a level of detail reserved just for you.

Seeing armour plates scuffed and marked from battle, this additional texture doesn't even fully load until you're all the way zoomed in. It shows Bungie knew people would be using Theatre mode to get more up close and personal than ever with their soldiers, and they decided to reward you for it.
