Well I would argue the Halo 4 terminals are more "accessible" than the Halo 3 terminals... the problem is that Halo 3's terminals were auxiliary to the main plot, whereas the Halo 4 terminals were completely necessary to understanding what the f$&k was going on in that game. So that was a huge mistake on 343's part.

Am I mis-remembering, or didn't Halo 4's terminals require you to visit an external app/site to view? I remember that being the reason I didn't watch any of them.

I could be mis-remembering, but I thought you could launch into the Waypoint app from within Halo 4. So you did need to watch the terminals through waypoint, but I think there was at least as in-game way to do it. But I could have that totally wrong.

At the very least, it was a series of videos that you could go back and watch at any time, vs Halo 3's terminals which could only be read while standing in front of them in-game, with no way to go back and read them later. Neither is ideal, really. But I liked Halo 3's terminals a lot more because they made sense within the fiction. You felt like you were discovering clues that the forerunners left behind.
