Interesting point. When I put up the M1 terms I included the secret Bungie terminal yet for M2 I didn't. This had more to do with avoiding the extra work of having to format the rather large credit terminal in M2 than trying to keep it secret. The Durandal Terminal Browser took away the mystery of the secret terminals anyway, indeed it displayed terminals that didn't even feature in game. If anything the M1 secret terminals should have been the ones that were kept secret since there's no terminal browser. That's water under the bridge now.

I see no point at this stage of keeping M2 or Infinity terminals secret now given the existence of terminal browsers. As for M1... well you can read them with ResEdit.

Just my 7 cent.

PS That's European cent not American. ;-)
