Sentinel launcher: Difference between revisions

'''Sentinel Launchers''' are small armor-covered devices built into the walls of some [[Forerunner]] facilities. They have only appeared in [[Halo 2]] so far. When hostile entities, such as [[Flood]], are detected in the immediate area, they open their cover and dispense [[Sentinels]]. When a sentinel is about to be dispensed, the launcher will make a noise that increases in pitch until the sentinel is dispensed. The only [[Sentinel]]s seen being dispensed are the normal silver ones, not the gold, shielded majors. One way to destroy a launcher is to attack it when the armored cover opens to release a [[Sentinel]]. It is also possible to destroy a closed dispenser by sticking a [[Plasma Grenade]] on its cover or meleeing it although this will cause your shields to become depleted. These launchers can only be found on the level [[Sacred Icon (level)]] This has confused a lot of Halo 2 players as on the levels The Arbiter and Oracle there are sentinels but no sentinel launchers. Although some [[Sentinel]]s could have escaped the destruction of the first [[Halo:Combat Evolved|Halo]], not many would have. There are an extremely large number of [[Sentinel]]s on the two levels, and too many for the amount that could have escaped [[Halo]]'s destruction. This would probably mean that they came from a production facility of some sort or are produced on site.
