According to 343 Industries executive producer Dan Ayoub, piecing together the videos will reveal a large portion of the Halo 4 story, explaining, ”So you guys may remember Terminals from Halo 3. They were very much like Easter Eggs in the game. You went through, found them and got some story info. It was usually just text on the screen. But it’s not really that interesting to read text on a screen, so we’re doing some very cool things with it.
“You’ll hear Tim Dadabo, the actual voice actor for Guilty Spark from the original game. The Terminals are definitely setting the story for Halo 4 but we’ll talk about that more in the future.
“We’re giving Terminals a much more visual treatment, where we’re telling each story in a graphical way. It’s a lot cooler than reading text on a screen and also allows us to convey a lot more emotion in our storytelling. We’ve got Terminals hidden throughout the game and if you find them all you’ll learn story about the Halo universe, the ring and also story elements of things you’re going to see in Halo 4.”
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will be released for the Xbox 360 this November 15.
