''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' features a '''[[Terminal]]''' accessible to the player in each level.

Just like [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls|skulls]], terminals cannot be seen or accessed in Classic mode.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/video/halo-anniversary-campaign/92cb4dec-3a52-417d-87c3-1232346ca997 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo: Anniversary Campaign'']</ref> They can be seen and accessed on any difficulty and in Co-op mode.
