"A LIE is a LIE"


- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer

Sentinels will obviously be a key enemy (or ally?) in Halo 4.

Since the Forerunners are reliant on programmed sentinels that can change targets like in Halo CE, stuff like allowing cortana to reprogram sentinels to your side should be a key part in gameplay. The sentinel should have a weak spot that if shot, will be immobilised so chief can reprogram it with a simple press on the controller.

So, what do you think? Reprogramming a sentinel, even the large Halo 2 ones?

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Sorry but gameplay doesn't belong here. though cortana would be able to hack them since she was in 04's databank for a few hours.

I suppose, but this does root to canon, especially cortana's abilities in hacking forerunner tech and the possibilities this could have for the new Halo trilogy.

I'm thinking cortana causing a makeshift civil war between the evil forerunners and all the sentinels on the planet :P

I don't think the sentinels are open to network hacks. The forerunner isolated all the systems they could to prevent the flood from doing this very thing.

A known authority can add an anemy or ally to the sentinels registry, and they obey their IFF protocols. That's what Spark did in two betrayals when he asked for Cheif's head.

People would say it ripped off BioShock. . .

Those are called enforcers.


Yeah, I was stuck between "protector" and "enforcer", so I just left it out to avoid sounding like an idiot.
