Terminals a last minute decision for Halo 2 Anniversary? Or are you referring to H:CEA?
I'd be highly surprised if terminal in H2A were last-minute decision... shocked, even. Really? I would hope (and by the looks of the trailer, expect) that terminals or terminal-like content will be added to H2A as a means to lead into Halo 5. It's the perfect opportunity to make Halo 2 have more contextual meaning to Halo 5 and beyond. More chance to link together multiple product releases and stories.

It actually almost felt like H2A would be from the perspective of Agent Locke, 'reliving' the Chief's history; implied by terminal-like cutscenes. Sort of like how ODST played the flashbacks, the original game content would be the flashbacks, while the terminal content is Locke's storyline... *shrug* maybe not, but it seems feasible. That, however, leaves Halo 3 (if completely untouched) not as relevant to Halo 5+ as H2A.
On that note, what could be the possibility that they toss in some additional hidden/secret content in Halo 3? Or is it really going to be a direct raw port from 360 to XBO?

Man... can't wait for this.
