To end the Game's nearly six year run, Bungie encouraged all their fans to play for one last evening on Wednesday, April 14 in the hours leading up to the game's final moments. 'The Did You Know...' section, which was originally used for tips on how to take advantage of the game's features warnings to modders and those trying to cheat the system. It was changed instead to display warm and humorous messages referencing many events of the game's run including the infamous [[Button Combos|BXB]] and other glitches or map oddities.
