just wondering but how is the auto sentry? I haven’t gotten a chance to use it and I haven’t seen any one else use it, Is it just that horrible or has no one found its purpose yet?
I haven’t seen anyone use it in mp yet, but in campaign it is really good.
i have not used it yet but im about to unlock it. my friend says it is not the best but it does have some use. it is decent i guess. but it sounded like when he was using it it helped him out a lot. so im not sure. i think it might be best for taking out upcoming enemies in small areas like in a hallway. or guarding the flag.
I personally think it’s pretty good for deterring enemies away. My shields got shredded by it and I was cleaned up by a teammate.
Tried it in Campaign, it took out a few Crawlers and weakened a few Knights but overall it didn’t feel that strong.
Haven’t bought bought the Auto-Sentry yet in MP and i can only see myself deploying one at bases in Dominion or something to that degree. I have had it used against me but it can easily be destroyed before it does anything significant.
Otherwise? I’ll end up using other AAs IMO.
Better off using other AA’s. A turret? Too good to be true. Bought and used it for a while but even on objective game types where I thought it’d be decent it wasn’t that great.
im pretty sure that if you use it in CQC it will be affective. because the enemy wont really have enough space to move away from the auto turrets fire and your fire. so it would probably weaken the enemy shields then you would have to finish him off. i can see it being great for CTF if you use it right.
I’ve found out that it will try to shoot enemies behind walls. So it can be used as more than a sentry. Sorta to point out enemy locations when they are behind walls.

wow thats cool. although i hope that it would kind of like follow the enemy and not keep shooting at the wall.
and cant it shoot ppl who are in camo?
It keeps shooting the wall if they are behind it until another enemy shows up in its range. Don’t have any experience with it against active camo.
I tested it in forge, it downs people’s shields in 4/5 shots (can’t remember which one) and I assume it would kill them with at least 3 more shots. It fires slower than the halo 3 pistol though, and it’s not really meant to be used to kill other players by itself. It’s used more for distracting/ fortifying. It’s pretty much only gonna kill leftovers and people with little to no situational awareness at all, in multiplayer anyway…
It’s kinda lame only takes a few shots to take it out. Everytime someone on a opposing team would deploy one it was gone within 20 seconds.
i personally like using it on maps like Haven where u can funnel ur enemies towards your team and hold ground.
Well, if you fight along side the sentry, if you opponent isn’t smart enough to use cover, you should come out on top. Just set it somewhere around the corner or in a hallway and just roam in that general area. I think it can only look in 180 degrees though, so be mindful of where you set it.
huh i thought i could turn 360 im pretty sure it does.oh well i still think it would be good in like oddball or something. and im guessing you cant lay out multiple sentrys. am i correct?
One sentry, but you can kill that sentry with AA activation button, then it regens, then you can deploy it again. I’m not sure about the degrees of look, I always deployed in a corner or against a wall. I primarily used it for ctf and oddball defense.
