[[File:HCEA Terminal.jpg|thumb|300px|The most common form of design for Terminals across the [[campaign]].]]

''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' features a '''[[Terminal]]''' accessible to the player in each level. Unlike the [[Terminal (Halo 3)|text-based terminals]] of ''[[Halo 3]]'', the ''Anniversary'' terminals feature animation, music, sound effects and narration by [[343 Guilty Spark]] and a handful of other characters.<ref>[http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_halo_combat_evolved_anniversary_gc_ms_presentation-22920_en.html '''Gamersyde''': ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary GamesCom Microsoft Presentation'']</ref> The terminals also have connections to the story of ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcG-WpL-7lc '''YouTube''': ''Halo Anniversary Gamescom 2011 Interview '']</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpFXhNd-LA0 '''YouTube''': ''Halo Anniversary -- Gameplay & Interview w.

Just like [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls|skulls]], terminals cannot be seen or accessed in Classic mode.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/video/halo-anniversary-campaign/92cb4dec-3a52-417d-87c3-1232346ca997 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: Anniversary Campaign'']</ref> They can be seen and accessed on any difficulty and in Co-op mode. Once unlocked, the terminals can be viewed via [[Halo Waypoint]]. Starting from [[Series 7: Elite|Series 7]],  [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]] allowed unlocked terminals to be viewed from the Extras menu.

== Trivia ==

*Captain Keyes' mental struggle as he is slowly assimilated by the [[Proto-Gravemind]] is an adaptation of a passage from ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''. Several additions are present to integrate the scene with more recent canon - specifically, memories of his daughter, [[Miranda Keyes|Miranda]], and her mother, Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]].

*The Installation monitors' gathering aboard a Lifeworker vessel over Installation 00 is adapted in the novel ''[[Halo: Silentium]]'', which further expands on 343 Guilty Spark's assignment to his installation.

*The input screen is based on the holographic  control spheres seen inside the [[relic]] on [[Harvest]] and at the [[Apex Site]] on [[Trove]] from ''[[Halo Wars]]'', as well as from ''[[Halo Legends]]: [[Origins]]''.

*In the 11th terminal, [[Kig-Yar]] are seen with the [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|Heretics]], despite not appearing with them in ''[[Halo 2]]''.

*The Covenant ship briefly seen in the 11th terminal is likely ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', the ship captured by Master Chief immediately after the destruction of Installation 04.
