New Feature: Custom Games

Custom Games were always meant to be available in the Game History section along with Matchmaking Games but somehow they fell of the development schedule. Well, I'm happy to say you can now see the stats from these games as well.

As usual, e-mail me at MasterChief@iHaloStats.com if you notice any bugs or issues.

Minor Update: Small Changes to Navbar

Yesterday some small changes went live, mostly cosmetic. The most obvious change is the placement of the donate button on the Nav Bar in the spot where the About button used to be. The About button is still accessible at the end of the Nav Bar. Full list of changes includes:
  • New Donate button at front of Nav Bar.
  • About button moved to end of Nav Bar.
  • New Donation page, linked from Donate button on Nav Bar and About/Index page.
  • Minor wording changes on some pages.
  • Minor enhancements to the Medal Stats pages.
  • Updates page now sorts Bungie.net RSS by date (Bungie RSS feed always lists Weekly burying other minor updates even if they were posted more recently).
  • Updates page now more clearly indicates that links on page are to external sites.
  • Updates page no longer shows really old news items.
  • Links in twitter posts now actually link on Update page.
  • Minor problem with Linktacular medal not showing up on all pages should now be resolved.
This update was originally intended to include an enhancement to the navbar animations that would have made them a bit smoother and less javascript intensive. Unfortunately, the CSS animation support that would allow this seems to work fine in the desktop version of Safari but not in the iPhone version. The enhancement would have been nice, but we'll have to wait for a newer version of the browser to appear on the iPhone.
