When hostile entities, such as the [[Flood]], are detected in the immediate area, the sentinel launchers open their covers and dispense [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. When releasing an Aggressor, the launcher emits a noise that increases in pitch until the Aggressor appears. | When hostile entities, such as the [[Flood]], are detected in the immediate area, the sentinel launchers open their covers and dispense [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s.

In ''Halo 2'', sentinel launchers can only be found in the campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]'', and consistently release Aggressors to combat [[Flood combat forms]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]]. | In ''Halo 2'', sentinel launchers can only be found in the campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]'', and consistently release Aggressors to combat [[Flood combat forms]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]].<ref name="icon"/> | ||
In ''Halo 3'', sentinel launchers can be found in the campaign levels ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''. In addition to being allied with [[John-117]], they are also more durable and release Aggressors at a quicker rate than those in ''Halo 2''. In addition, the hatch closes immediately after the Aggressor is released to prevent weapon fire from getting into the launcher, although this can be bypassed by throwing a grenade before it closes.<ref name="ark"/><ref name="04B"/> | |||
