[[File:Terminal appearance.jpg|thumb|right|90px|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 text-based Terminals in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the 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 will 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]].

* 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, [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]].

*The input screen is based on the holographic  control spheres seen inside the [[relic]] on [[Harvest]] and at [[the Apex]] on [[Shield 0459]] 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]]. As one of the Sangheili officers promised to [[343 Guilty Spark]] that all Kig-Yar present would be killed for attacking an [[monitor|Oracle]], this provides an explanation for the species' absence in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
