Sentinel launcher: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

'''Sentinel Launchers''' are small armor-covered devices built into the walls of some [[Forerunner]] facilities. They have appeared in [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]]. 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.

Most [[Sentinel]]s seen being dispensed are the normal silver ones, though a few dispense the gold, [[Major Sentinel|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 from the resulting explosion~~.

These launchers can only be found on the level [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] in Halo 2, and only briefly in Halo 3. This has confused a lot of Halo 2 players as on the levels [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] and [[Oracle (Level)|Oracle]] there are [[Sentinel]]s but no Sentinel Launchers. Although some [[Sentinel]]s could have escaped the destruction of the first [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]], few would have been able to. 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, and are in fact Sentinels that ~~orriginated~~ from the Gas Mine.
