Are Terminals returning?

I’m sure that we’ve all heard of Terminals. They were the hidden items containing a meta-story in both Halo 3 and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. I just wanted to if they were returning for Halo 4? Halopedia mentions that they’ll be in Halo 4, animated in a similar fashion and style to the ones we see in Anniversary.

Yeah, I know claims on Halopedia aren’t always reliable, but it appears to be sourced by a report from some french Halo site. Is that website itself a reliable source? I would really appreciate it if someone could confirm this for me; I really loved Terminals in the previous Halo games.

Yeah it’s been confirmed they’ll be returning and I am STOKED!

I would really hope that they return. I’d love Terminal adaptions of the Crpytum and Primordium books.

I believe they were confirmed

Im hoping for a few skulls next to waterfalls as well! :slight_smile:

As a few people said above me yes they are confirmed they will be cinematic terminals like halo cea but i would also love if they threw in 2 or 3 halo 3 style terminals. It would really add more of a cryptic feeling to the game.

sweet, can’t wait to watch them. Do you think they might put one new terminal into each new Spartan ops mission too? That would be a great way to keep multiple story threads going at once.

Confirmed, cinematic terminals.

I wonder what kind of story they will tell. Perhaps they’ll detail the kind of stuff going on with the Ancient Evil or what happened since the Activation.

For the corrupted Didact theory, it could show how he was corrupted and how he got there.

i dont think they will do that theres only so much you can tell about the forerunners, prometheans etc before they start entering the borders of halo 5’s story

I must not have heard that. That’s awesome!

Exactly, it might help bridge the gap between the games.

This is how I feel now that I know it’s been confirmed…

:smiley:

Thank you guys for confirming it for me. I can’t wait to go Terminal hunting in Halo 4. :smiley:

I’m also predicting that the Flood will play a significant role in them. Frankie only said that we won’t be fighting the Flood, he never said that they wouldn’t play some role within the backstory.

Not seens anything on terminals. But no doubt they return or will just be called something else. People love to find those type of things lol
