What will the terminals look like in Halo anniversary when switched to the old graphics? The game can switch back and forth, but as we know they weren't present in the original. People's thoughts?

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

It won't.

The terminals won't even be visible in classic mode.

Makes sense. Would be a bit weird seeing something so new, with "2011 graphics" in classic mode.

So if it won't...what happens if you go the exact place where a terminal is supposed to be and switch to new graphics?

I would guess some sort of error like 'Unable to change graphics, please move and try again...' or something silly.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

The Terminals are pre-recorded motion comics, they are not a part of the game's graphics engine. There will be no difference to their appearance in classic mode.

Then how do you access them? By switch? Or something? Will they just add random forerunner keyboards on the wall or something in old graphics?
