Let's think logically here, check /bink, now look. THERE IS ONE CREDITS FILE. NOT TWO. Meaning, there can't be anything added to it when you beat it on any difficulty, whereas the other videos are inside the maps themselves, and can be added to. Therefore, there cannot be any February 9th in the credits of legendary.  <

It's on quite a few forums, i doubt just one person made it up.  <

clear it up by beating it and telling us if you see it

or clear it up and take a pic of it  <

What do you mean it can be added? You mean someone hacked the maps file to add the Feb. 9th thing? ? You're confusing people here. Also I've finished game on normal and I didn't see any Feb 9th so its logical to think they have a diff. ending credits.

How can there be one if the video for it just isn't there? That's why I'm saying, you can't add things to credits, but you can to in-game videos.

It's on a few forums because it's a rumor that simply is NOT true. Many people on the bungie.net forums have found out that it is just a rumor, and now I'm clearing it up here with solid fact.  <

Or they could tell the credits movie to end at 10min30sec (just an example) unless you beat it on legendary in which case it would run the full 10min34sec. Thus showing the Feb 9 date.

Im just trying to say they could make it say Feb 9th using the same credits.  <

No.

In-game videos = inside the map files where the videos are in (check yourself.)
Bink videos = regular video files coded for .bik (like .avi or .mpg)

In-game videos can be changed if played on legendary because .map files are coded, these videos use the in-game engine and are NOT straight videos.

Bink videos are normal videos but cannot be changed if played on legendary because they are regular video files without and code attached. The only way there would be is if there was a completely different credits file that shows up when you play on legendary, there isn't.  <

or they could have an overlay (similar to a second layer) that is shown during legendary.  <

I've beaten Halo 2 on Legendary and I kept a lookout for the February 9th.  I didn't see it anywhere though.  I'll try to beat it again and vid-cap the credits.  <

Good idea Hercules. We have all modded xboxs, and computers. Copy the .bik file to your computer (I already deleted it from my xbox for space, doh!) and play it. If there's any February 9th thing at the end, we'll be able to take a screencap of it, and post it here, right? Right. By doing this, it'll prove once and for all if there's any trace of that in there. I'd do it, but I don't want to copy my game disc again >_<

I've beaten every single level in Legendary.. took forever to do!  By the time I was reaching the last level, this whole February 9th egg came onto the forums.  It did give a bit of more motivation in actually completing the game in hopes to have at least some sort of special ending as did the original Halo in Legendary.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get a glimpse of the February 9th.  It may not even be an obvious egg.  There is some text behind the credits, although it's a bit difficult too read.  <

[X_Destruction]

Okay, if nobody else does it, and I'm allowed to do it, I'm going to convert the bik file straight to mpg, just to show everybody that it just is not there! I'll wait a few hours and see if anybody else is willing, I hate waiting for copying discs.  <

Save yourself the trouble, X_Destruction!  I have the proof everyone is looking for!  This image was caught a split second before the credits fade to black.  This shall end the speculation of this fact!!
