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]].

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 [[Installation 04|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 [[Installation 04|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]]. | These launchers can only be found on the level [[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and only briefly in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]] and are Alied with the Player.

The launchers in ''[[Halo 3]]'' release Sentinels at a quicker rate than those in ''[[Halo 2]]''. Also, the hatch closes right after the [[Sentinel]] is released to prevent weapon fire from getting into the launcher. To get around this, just stick it with a [[Plasma Grenade|grenade]] or blow it up with heavier weapon such as a Rocket Launcher. | The launchers in ''[[Halo 3]]'' release Sentinels at a quicker rate than those in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
