The iPhone, at least with the older Bnet could never click on the Top news stories properly for me. The new version works better now but it would still be nice to view bnet on a simplified scale.

Some of the map testers have screens of the map in their recent screens, pretty revealing stuff:

Sandbox: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=65763239
Solid question. I'd guess that it would depend on whether or not you can move objects past the soft ceiling -- whether via the teleporter or by pushing the objects through the other side of the ceiling itself. Not sure if it'll ever been a practical issue, given the budget size itself, but it's definitely a reasonable question.GhaleonEB said:Question: with the default objects consuming part of the budget of the map, and the soft ceiling preventing Monitors from flying to the top, is it possible to use 100% of the budget on the sky bubble?

EazyB said:It just occurred to me that because deleting existing items from the default map is wasteful most forgers will of course follow Bungie's suggestion and use the all of these items. And since there are two choppers on the default map they'll be on ever custom map as well.
Choppers on ascension, choppers on boarding action, choppers on sanctuary, and so on.
So awesome.

But will you be able to use them or will the choppers be use as base indicators stacked atop the bases that you can never reach.
It's hard to imagine the chopper doing anything besides what it normally does, mulching spartans and ripping apart vehicles, but consider me curious.GhaleonEB said:Eazy, I have a (mental) map design that will feature Choppers in an interesting role.

Here's your chance to earn the recons, Ram.Enjoy a romantic weekend with your number 1 as you put the hurt on lesser couples.
Ah, February 14th. A time for acknowledging that special person in your life by treating them nice, or for acknowledging that person missing from your life by accusing the holiday of being another capitalist venture to trick willing consumer sheep into buying cheap candy. Bungie, full of love as we are, would like to make this weekend just a bit sweeter for all those reveling in the romance. Or the bitterness, if that's your thing.
Starting now (11am PDT, February 12) and lasting through Valentine's Day to Monday at 2am, V-Day Massacre returns as a ranked Double EXP weekend for pairs. That's right, ranked Team Doubles, Slayer and Slayer BRs. What better way could one spend such an auspicious holiday with the lady in his life?* But don't worry, single boys and girls, we've got your back too. If you go in alone and you meet that special someone that will drop a double kill just as you think you're done for, you'll be able to party up with them after your first match and continue slaying like the soul mates you are.
That about covers it. Oh, wait, I forgot Recon.
After the weekend ends, we're going to be looking at the aftermath and picking several couples and giving them Recon! What specific metrics are we going to be looking for? Well, I'm not going to tell you. That'd be too easy! We'll announce what the metrics were after Recon has been distributed, but for now keep the couples theme of the playlist in mind. That's the only hint you get, so don't bother PM'ing me. Seriously. Even if you ask nicely or offer me pics of your hot GF, I'm not going to tell you. Just keep the number 2 in mind while you enjoy yourself this weekend.
Oh, but don't bother hoping for Recon if you've ever been caught and banned for any kind of cheating or bad behavior. And if you try to boost in the playlist and get caught, you won't be seeing Recon, either, just a long period of removal from Halo 3 matchmaking. Cheaters are not eligible for Recon, and yes, we will be watching. Bungie may be full of love, but I'm a heartless bastard.
V-Day Massacre Double EXP weekend requires all downloadable content. Have fun out there!

We've been through this before. Just because seeing flight in all its glory strikes the fear of god in you, that doesn't give you the right to hate.Dax01 said:Oh, we've already done that.

Oh, wait, you've already done that. It seems we're both late to our respective parties.
