Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)

"Are you ready, Reclaimer? This is how my story begins."

— 04-343 Guilty Spark in the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary terminals teaser.

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. The Terminals will also have connections to the story of Halo 4 and The Forerunner Saga.

The graphics and audio for the Terminals is produced by The Sequence Group. Most of the terminals were written by 343 Industries Managing Editor Kevin Grace.

Just like the skulls, the terminals cannot be seen in Classic mode.

Locations

The Pillar of Autumn

The terminal is one of the computer consoles located on the Autumn's bridge. All of the console's screens shows "INCOMING MESSAGE", and a crewman is standing beside it instead of manning the console.

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 amongst 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

To get to the seventh terminal you must get to the third floor. You will eventually come to a room with a large circular room (the Index platform will be above it. Go either right of left and jump over the barriers until you get to the opposite side. The terminal will be plain as day before you even reach it.

Two Betrayals

The eighth terminal is in the control room at the beginning of the level, walk around the the circular platform and you'll find the terminal directly across from the control console.



Keyes

The ninth terminal can be found after you find Keyes absorbed into the Proto-Gravemind, kill the Covenant and Flood that attempt to ambush you, then search the sunken crevices to the side of the raised platform. The terminal will be down inside one of the two.

The Maw

The tenth terminal in the game can be found in the Cryogenic Storage Bay where Sentinels will be busy fighting the Flood. A glowing Control console on the wall will house the final 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 randomized circular buttons. The buttons' colors correspond with the AXBY buttons on the Xbox 360 controller. Entering the correct sequence will lead the player to a Forerunner alphabet. 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 100,000 cR.
