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.[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] Most of the terminals were written by 343 Industries Managing Editor Kevin Grace.[6]
Just like the skulls, the terminals cannot be seen in Classic mode.[7]
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.[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 the second terminal.
The Truth and Reconciliation
The third terminal is located within the vessel's control room amongst the holographic displays.
The Silent Cartographer
The fourth terminal is located on the 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 at the 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, than 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'll come to a room with a large circular room (the Index platform will be above it. Go right and use the crouch jump to jump over the barriers and you'll come to a room that looks like the rest of the level, but is disconnected from the regular game. 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 and final skull in the game can be found if you play the level like normal until you reach the Cryogenic Storage Bay where Sentinels will be busy fighting the Flood. A glowing Control console on the wall will house you final terminal.
