{{Quote|This is a time to rejoice, a moment that all fiction fans should savor. For the Halo 2: Anniversary Terminals can be found, and with them, your path will be clear; your entry into a greater understanding guaranteed.  Your next Great Journey is nigh, and nothing – not even the Flood – can stop it...|[[Jeff Easterling]] on the terminals, referencing the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s speech<ref name="your journey">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/bulletins/the-halo-bulletin-your-journey-begins '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin: Your Journey Begins'']</ref>}}

''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' features '''[[Terminal]]s''' accessible to the player in each level. Animated by [[Sequence]], these terminals focus on the role of [[Thel 'Vadam]] as well as that of the [[Arbiter]]s throughout [[Covenant]] [[History of the Covenant|history]] and have connections to the story of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|your journey}}<ref name="youtube.com">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcSk8Rx_JTo&t=10m30s '''YouTube''': ''Halo 2: Anniversary - Cairo Station Campaign Gameplay and...'']</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|youtube.com}}<ref name="polygon">[http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/12/5802422/halo-5-spartan-locke-nightfall '''Polygon''': ''Halo 5's secret Spartan is Agent Locke, and his story will be revealed in Halo Nightfall'']</ref> The terminals are presented from three distinct points of view: target profiles by [[ONI]] agent [[Jameson Locke|Lt.

The terminals have been stated to be placed in more conspicuous locations than in the earlier games, as [[343 Industries]] wishes all players to be able to find them.<ref name="venturebeat">[http://venturebeat.com/2014/06/10/understanding-halo-the-master-chief-collection-faq-playlists-forge-control-schemes-and-more/ '''Venturebeat''': ''Understanding Halo: The Master Chief Collection (FAQ) — playlists, Forge, control schemes, and more'']</ref> Like the [[H4:Terminals|terminals of ''Halo 4'']], the ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' terminals are not hosted on the game disc and are only accessible online.<ref name="waypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-the-master-chief-collection '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'']</ref> There are a total of thirteen terminals to be found in the game,<ref>[http://ca.ign.com/wikis/halo-master-chief-collection/Achievements '''IGN''': ''Achievements'']</ref> and two separate "Prologue" terminals.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/halo-2-anniversary---first-2-terminals-revealed/f6a73629-0068-4e3b-a92f-42e3ff6a95e9/posts?page=1#post16 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 2: Anniversary - First 2 Terminals Revealed!'']</ref>

==Trivia==
The fourth terminal is almost identical to the [[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|eleventh terminal from ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'']]. In addition to being graphically enhanced (including the incorporation of the remastered versions of [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[343 Guilty Spark]]), the original terminal's scene of the monitor being attacked and one of Guilty Spark's lines have been removed. The Heretic Leader's lines have also been rerecorded by [[John DiMaggio]], who portrays him in the rest of the terminals; he is voiced by an uncredited actor in the original terminal. 343 Guilty Spark's speech also has a different filter and may have been rerecorded. The initial scene of Guilty Spark flying away from the explosion of Installation 04 may have been inspired by the scene that plays at the very end of the original Halo CE credits.
