'''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. | '''Sentinel Launchers''', are small armor-covered devices built into the walls of some [[Forerunner]] facilities.

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]] (an over charged [[Plasma Pistol]] shot is a one shot kill and also creates an EMP style effect on nearby shields.) It is also possible to destroy a closed dispenser by sticking a [[Plasma Grenade]] on its cover or 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. | Most [[Sentinel]]s seen being dispensed are the normal silver ones, though a few dispense the gold, [[Major Sentinel|shielded Majors]].
