'''Sentinel | '''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. | ||
