The Halo games have some extra stuff in the Campaign that gives a bit more story to, well, the story. Halo 3 introduced terminals, actually introducing the Didact and Librarian. ODST introduced audio logs, giving us the excellent Sadie’s Story. Reach gave us data pads, kinda like the Halo 3 terminals but also unique and its own thing. CEA and Halo 4 brought terminals back, but in video instead of text. Halo 5 brought mission intel, objects spread throughout the game that told all different little stories such as Sangheili brothers on opposite sides of the Blooding Years, then others such as a Forerunner Builder alive on Genesis when Blue Team and Osiris arrive. With Infinite, which of these would you like to get the most?
I’ve always thought the h4 terminals were the superior type. However; I can show appreciation toward the H3 terminals. H5 audio logs would have been better as an in game audio puzzle than mishmash dialogue.
The terminals sound like an awesome idea, get us some more info into Jai-006. As well, possibly more facts about the flood. Give us some info into how long it took them to starve.
