"Are you ready, Reclaimer? This is how my story begins."
04-343 Guilty Spark in the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary terminals teaser.[1]

The video game 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.[2] The Terminals will also have connections to the story of Halo 4 and The Forerunner Saga.[3][4][5]

The graphics and audio for the Terminals is produced by The Sequence Group,[1] while most of the writing was done by 343 Industries Managing Editor Kevin Grace.[6]

Just like the skulls, the terminals cannot be seen or accessed in Classic mode.[7]

Locations

Template:Expand-Section

The Pillar of Autumn

The terminal is one of the computer consoles located on the left side of the Autumn's bridge. All of the console's screens flash "INCOMING MESSAGE" in red, and a crewman is standing beside it instead of manning the console.[8]

Halo

Near the start of the tunnel, you will come across a ledge leading to the next section. If you carry on the route rather than make the jump, you will drive past a small alcove. The second terminal is located at the far end of this alcove.

The Truth and Reconciliation

The third terminal is located within the vessel's bridge, in the middle of the front holographic displays.

The Silent Cartographer

The fourth terminal is located beside a structure near the centre of the island where the first Hunter pair is fought.

The Assault on the Control Room

The fifth terminal is located at the bottom of a pit in front of the Control Room structure at the end of the level. The terminal is on the ground, under the base of a large metal strut that runs diagonally down the front building.

343 Guilty Spark

The sixth terminal is found while riding the third elevator that will allow you to escape the underground facility. You'll find the terminal above the doorway you came out of. It can be reached by activating the elevator, then timing it correctly and jumping off onto the platform below (this may take a few attempts, but the elevator can be activated as many times as needed.)



The Library

The seventh terminal is located on the Library's third floor. You will eventually come to a room with a large circular room, with the Index platform above it. Go either right of left and jump over the low barriers until you get to the opposite side. The terminal flashes yellow, and can be clearly seen across the chasm.

Two Betrayals

The eighth terminal is in the control room at the level's very beginning. walk around the the circular platform and the terminal can be found directly across from the central console.



Keyes

The ninth terminal can be found after the player find Keyes absorbed into the Proto-Gravemind. Eliminate nearby Covenant and Flood forces, then search the sunken crevices to the side of the raised platform. The terminal is a red holographic panel, and will be on one the right crevice's wall.

The Maw

The tenth terminal in the game can be found in the Cryo Bay's second floor, where Sentinels are fighting a large Flood force. The terminal is a computer screen on the wall, similar to the first terminal.

Threshold

The eleventh and final terminal can only be accessed through a hidden function on Halo Waypoint. Pressing X in the main menu will reveal a set of circles with randomized colors, which correspond with the AXBY buttons on the Xbox 360 controller. Entering the correct left-to-right sequence will lead the player to a hexagonal "keyboard" with Forerunner symbols. Each unique five-character code shown at the end of a terminal will grant the player 7,000 cR in Halo: Reach. Entering all codes will grant the player 37,000 cR, as well as Terminal 11, allowing the player to receive a total of 107,000 cR.
