Bungie may bring it back, we'll have to wait and see.

Bungie gave a reason why they don't add the Sentinel Beam into regular playlists: Becuase it's stupidly powerful. And on a lesser extent I think lag issues.

My suggestion: Make it less powerful.

Other people disagree.

Quoted from Halopedia:
The beam makes another appearance in Halo 3, with a few visual upgrades and several technical fixes. Unlike its Halo 2 counterpart, the weapon now has virtually infinite range and fires a much stronger beam that, if held consistently on an enemy, can destroy them within seconds. It is, obviously enough, extremely effective when used against Flood, and will cut down any form -- including the vaunted Pure Forms -- if aimed properly.
