Terminals, yes these things they are unlocked once you find their locations, or are they?
Halo 4’s way of distributing this ‘extra’ content was frustrating for me. You unlocked the Terminals yet they were only able to stream from Halo Waypoint/website. For me this was such a hassle especially when I had a data usage.
What happened to the way Halo Anniversary did it? Accessing it from the main menu in the ‘Extras’ section was so much easier. The same thing bothers me about about the Spartan Ops cut scenes but I guess that makes a bit more since. After all it was exclusive to XBL Gold members being connected to Live.
Basically Halo Xbox One or Halo 5 should have the content on the disk and not stream it from another source. Of course it should be available via Waypoint as well.
I definitely agree that the Terminals should be included/watchable in-game, but still archived/included on Waypoint. Basically… the exact same thing Anniversary did.
I think the Terminals appearing outside was partly due to time.
And because the story may have been confusing to some already, they should definitely have been in-game.
Yes. The H4 terminals completely lacked the mystery of the Ark dialogues. If the H3 terminals were videos, we would have seen the Didact, Librarian and Mendicant Bias all the way back in 2007. The H4 story and Forerunner Saga would have been ruined.

I would personally like to see a variety of different forms of Terminals. Ones like the Ark dialogues, hundreds of Psuedo Terminals scattered throughout the campaign, and of course the Playable Missions that can also be viewed as videos instead.
