'''Terminals''' are objects found in the campaigns of multiple ''Halo'' games. Conceptually based upon similar terminals in [[Bungie]]'s earlier ''[[Marathon]]'' game series, the Terminals serve to flesh out the backstory of the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]] and expand upon events relevant to the game narratives.

Terminals were first introduced in ''Halo'' in ''[[Halo 3]]'', which features [[seven]] text-based terminals hidden throughout the game's [[campaign]] that tell the story of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. These were expanded in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' to be fully-animated videos produced by [[Sequence]], before returning to the text-based format in ''[[Halo: Campaign Evolved]]''.
