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.

It is also possible to destroy a closed dispenser by sticking a [[Plasma Grenade]] on its cover and also by hitting it with a melee attack. However, the melee attack will drop your shields, so it's most useful to melee the Launchers when there are no other enemies around.

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 originated from the Gas Mine.
