Talk:Aggressor Sentinel

Fan Art Sentinel
I remember seeing a piece of fan art depicting a sentinel from Onyx that the artist based of the text. I know fan art isn't canon in any real sense on most series, but there is precedent on Halopedia to use one. On the Harvest related articles there is a fan art of a cruiser in orbit over Harvest. Is there a way to incorporate this image into the Sentinel article? The only reason I don't post it here is I don't recall where I found the image; I believe it was first posted on the Bungie.net forums. -Lord Hyren 18:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Ally note
With the recent edit to this page regarding Sentinels as allies, I guess I'd bring this up: With the exception of the ones on Onyx, sentinels seem to already be humanity-friendly, as the only times in the games you are attacked by them are when you are an elite and when 343GS tells em' to kill you. Yes, that's almost every time you see them, but still. Yeah, we don't have Marines on any levels with sentinel enemies to prove/disprove this... Unless maybe you pulled something fancy on "Sacred Icon." Check it, I'll sign a comment for the first time:4.245.4.122 02:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

H3 Sentinel Picture
Should we get a picture of a Sentinel from Halo 3? They're shiny!Metaridley 14:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I know this post is old, but shouldn't we replace the infobox-picture with a Sentinel from Halo 3? I personally think this will look much better. Terror 20:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: I just added a render of the Aggressor Sentinel from Halo 3, though I would appreciate it if you made sure that the old introductory image is placed within the Gallery section of the article. I worked hard on that, and I want others to still be able to enjoy it. Though I personally see nothing wrong with the current intro image. Sure, it made be from Halo Wars, it may be kinda "dated" chronologically speaking, but there is nothing wrong the graphics. Before you change it, might I suggest you let others have a say in this execution? --Xamikaze330 22:54, 19 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

Sentinel Minor
should we have a page for the basic silver sentinel? we have one for the sentinel major and with the species of the covenant we have a page for the species and one for each rank.Maiar 12:04, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, we need to devide the the article into theire major appearences because trying to summarise them all in one is resulting in inconsistency and convolution. like saying that only sentinel majors and the arks sentinels have shields. infact the only silvers WITHOUT shields are most of halo 2s and thats only beause with them they would render the majors pointless.

Mini-Sentinel?
I noticed something on the Halo 3 map Isolation. On forge i used a sniper rifle to shoot the sentinels like the ones pictured on the main article for target practice. I also noticed smaller flying things that looked like 1/3 of a sentinel, kinda like C shape with the empty space filled with blue light. They appeared to be moving in a straight line quite fast as opposed to patrolling like the main sentinels. ALso unlike the main sentinels they exploded in only one sniper shot, not two.

What are these things and shouldn't they have thier own article or mention in this one if they're related? Gilgamesh the usurper 03:53, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Weapon swaping!
I was playing the covanant level and at the end I saw a sentinel that wasn't moving, I went over and the swap ally weapon thing came up so I did it and then I had a sentinel beam and the sentinel shot an infection form with a carbine shot!!! Has this happend before?!? <:o

Yes, in Halo 2 there is an easter egg similar to this, where a Sentinel fired Needler rounds. And sign your posts on disscussion pages. Yonde itadaki arigatōgozaimasu, The Halfblood Prepare, for the Enveloping Darkness 23:02, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sentinel in Reach?
I saw the picture of the sentinel at the top of the page. I could be wrong, but the graphics look like Halo:Reach. I did know there were forerunner structures in Reach because I read it in a preview so it's possible for sentinels to be in the game. But i was surprised the most by the fact there's a screenshot of it! Can someone please post a link if there are more of them?

P.S.: If I'm wrong all along and that's just a Halo3 sentinel, please say so.Toen6 20:53, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

That's Halo Wars artwork I do believe! Elite  B   81  21:10, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Really? It seems a bit to gritty for Halo Wars. And it doesn't look like artwork.

Also I thought if seen every Halo Wars art on the official site at least once and would probably remember it.Toen6 21:16, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, that is the Halo 3-era Sentinel.
 * Really? Compare this picture with this one. I see a lot of diffrences: The barrel glows gold instead of not glowing at all. The lights of the first one glow brighter the the second. The second has more curved "arms" and they don't feature the small appendages at the ends of them.Toen6 21:27, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. I've found the actual artist of the picture and it's indeed a Halo Wars concept art. I didn't find it on the official site but on deviant art.Toen6 11:04, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary & Halo 3 Sentinel Images
Could someone get a really nice transparent cutout image of the a Sentinel both from Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (once it comes out) and Halo 3? My transparent overview scanned image is from Halo 3, but I know it's not the best quality, considering it's only a scan of a Halo 3 Sentinel. And I imagine my transparent cutout image of the Halo Wars Sentinel won't hold for long, I mean it may not be completely satisfactory for long. So if someone could get on that, that would be nice. I'll try to get on it myself, at least for the Halo 3 Sentinel. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Xamikaze330 16:35, 28 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330


 * It's gonna be tough for Anniversary, as there won't be Theater mode to get good screenshots. So we may be better off keeping the Halo 3/Wars picture.  Vegerot goes RAWR! Icon-Vegito2.gif  Vegerot  ( talk )  18:15, 28 September 2011 (EDT)


 * What do you mean there won't be any theater mode for Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary? Didn't it already have theater mode when it first came out ten years ago? I thought it did, then again, I never knew how to do it. If not, maybe 343i might tweak it a little bit to allow for theater mode, at least, I hope that maybe they will. Xamikaze330 18:37, 28 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

No they didn't have Theater mode for Halo: Combat Evolved! What are you, some kind of n00b?! ( jk :p ). And no, Theater Mode will not be added into Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, because it's a lot more than tweaking involved in making such a big thing like that. It's a full fledged, independent mode. So sorry, but I guess we're gonna have to stick with the current one. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  20:43, 1 October 2011 (EDT)!!!

Moving the Content
From the EVG, on page 167, the Sentinel page:

"The term 'Sentinel' refers to a broad set of machines that are generally used in the construction, maintenance, and protection of Forerunner installations [...]"

Then:

"Designed in a variety of shapes and sies to fit their many functions [...] Aggressors are the most common Sentinel form, usually operating as a direct extension of the Monitor's will."

It seems that the specific form of Sentinel on this article is referring to the "Aggressor". I think we should move most of the content of this page to a page called "Aggressor" and make this article a summary of all of the Sentinels. A relationship similar to SPARTAN Program and the other Spartan pages (ORION Project, SPARTAN-II Program and SPARTAN-III Program). — S331 (Tank beats Everything!) 11:56, 9 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Hmm, then I guess Halopedians show their mind through actions. Good job, by the way. — S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(Tank beats Everything!) 08:49, 17 October 2011 (EDT)

Sentinel Aggressors in Halo 4?
Um, just wondering, where and when do the Sentinel Aggressors supposedly show up in Halo 4? 'Cause so far I haven't seen any new information supporting this, uh, claim, or whatever it's called. Any thoughts or information to share? I'm confused. A little help here please? --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 23:42, 6 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
 * They first show up on Requiem, although these ones fire a purple beam.Colonel Grade One.png Col.  Snipes  4  50 Colonel Grade One.png 01:08, 9 November 2012 (EST)
 * Well then, if that's true, then can we get a one or two high-resolution screenshots of the Aggressor Sentinel in Halo 4? I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 11:46, 9 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
 * By the way, I just went out and bought the Halo 4 Collector's Edition Game Guide, and I saw no mention of any Aggressor Sentinels. Could it be you're getting the Promethean Sentinel Watcher confused with the Aggressor Sentinel? To which I believe is most likely the case. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:35, 9 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
 * Scratch my last message. They are definitely encountered in Mission 2 of Requiem, but are not hostile. I even have a screenshot within my game guide to prove it. I just have to scan it in, but to be honest I prefer not to, as my scans generally don't come out they I want them to, even with my dad's printer-scanner. But there it is, you have confirmed proof. Now all we need is high-quality screenshot or two to show for it. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:59, 9 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
