They are basically a large platform suspended in the air by a medium-sized anti-gravity generator which is also used as a miniature [[Gravity Lift]] to ferry snipers and lookouts to and from the platform. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', they appear in many [[Campaign]] levels as well as the [[multiplayer]] level [[Relic]]. The only two problems are that it's suicidal to stay there for a long time and you must jump out of the window in order to leave the tower. | They are basically a large platform suspended in the air by a medium-sized anti-gravity generator which is also used as a miniature [[Gravity Lift]] to ferry snipers and lookouts to and from the platform.

The platforms are capable of being knocked off the gravity lifts with rockets. This is achieved by firing two rockets at the corner of the platforms, or, if available, keep firing [[Gauss]] blasts at it. It will end up falling off, allowing you to float on the gravity lift. | The platforms are capable of being knocked off the gravity lifts with rockets.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the platforms are destructible. Players also can destroy the fins on the top of the tower before destroying the entire tower itself. An easy way to destroy the platforms is to go on top of it, and throw a [[Plasma grenade]] or [[Spike grenade]]. (This is only advisable on [[Easy]] or [[Normal]], as it may be difficult to do on higher difficulties.) One to three Plasma Cannons will be mounted on lookout towers, manned by [[Heavy Grunts]]. [[Brutes]] will sometimes take position in the lookout towers to shoot at hostiles with a [[Carbine]] or [[Beam Rifle]], it just depends on the difficulty. There is usually a [[File (Unit)|File]] (a small Covenant ground infantry unit) stationed with the tower to help the Grunt Heavies in case of attack. | In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the platforms are destructible.
