[[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. Dan Ayoub (gamescom 2011) '']</ref><ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/featured/video/halo-anniversary-terminal-video/7cf31fbd-7e5d-4aec-9235-4262e3cb35e5 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: Anniversary Terminal 1'']</ref> After the player accessed the terminal in the campaign levels, the terminal can be watched in the game's main menu, in the "Extras", similar to the [[cutscenes]] in ''[[Halo Wars]]''.

The graphics and audio for the Terminals were produced by [[Sequence|The Sequence Group]],<ref name= "Sequence" /> while most of the writing was done by [[343 Industries]] Managing Editor [[Kevin Grace]].<ref>[http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/08/27/halo-fest-halo-universe '''IGN''': ''Halo Fest - Halo Universe'']</ref>

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==
*Terminal 7's description is a reference to the Latin saying ''[[Wikipedia:Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?|quis custodiet ipsos custodes?]]'' (''"Who watches the watchmen?"''). 
*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.
*A five-character code in Forerunner script appears briefly at each terminal's end, excluding Terminal 11. The characters correspond directly with the Latin alphabet. In order from the first terminal, they are as such: "343GS", "HALO4", "SPARK", "FLOOD", "EARTH", "DEMON", "RINGS", "ARRAY", "HUMAN", and "HAVEN".
*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.
