They are available as a support unit in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. They, like regular Sentinels, are built at the [[Sentinel Shop]]. Intended to support anti-vehicle and anti-infantry operations, they are unable to engage aircraft, and require regular Sentinel escorts for aerial protection.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]''</ref> | ||
They cost 250 [[resources]] and require a minimum tech level of 2 to be produced and count as 2 population. They fire a beam of energy that temporarily prevents an enemy ground unit from attacking and reduces its movement speed. However, the beam does not do much damage by itself. | They cost 250 [[resources]] and require a minimum tech level of 2 to be produced and count as 2 population.

Super Sentinels were present during the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]]. They were activated when the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World's]] [[Unnamed Forerunner AI|artificial intelligence]] autonomously initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", after large numbers of Flood forms, along with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces and the crew of the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}}, were detected. The Super Sentinels were tasked with eliminating these targets. The Super Sentinels on the [[Shield World]] were most likely destroyed along with the installation when the star within it went [[supernova]]. | ||
