Each Terminal has its own achievement for accessing it, named after the Terminal itself. There is also an achievement for finding all of the terminals. <ref>'''[[List of Achievements for Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'''</ref> | Each Terminal has its own achievement for accessing it, named after the Terminal itself.

It appears that the discrepancy noted in the names of Terminals Three and Four was not an error in the names, but an error in the videos themselves. When accessing Terminal Three in [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]], the Terminal video is named 'Charum Hakkor' but the video is the one previously associated with Terminal Four. This implies that Terminal Three was always intended to be named 'Charum Hakkor' and have the video from Terminal Four. This is also more chronologically consistent, showing the end of the [[Human-Forerunner wars|war between the Humans and Forerunners]] prior to their forced regression, rather than the other way around.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'''</ref> | It appears that the discrepancy noted in the names of Terminals Three and Four was not an error in the names, but an error in the videos themselves.
