Best Answer

Sentry duty was dangerous, because the individual was vulnerable to attack. There were points in the rounds at which the individual might be exposed to the aim of weapons such as arrows, cannons, or lances. There were only select individuals who did sentry duty. There could be far fewer numbers of sentries than of any invading army or any groups of attackers. Additionally, the weather could get in the way at critical points of the duty. For example, vision might be obscured by fog, heavy rain, intense sunlight, or overcast or darkened skies.

What is the remote sentry?

The remote sentry is a 12-point support strike chain that appears in call of duty: modern warfare 3. It is similar to the sentry gun of previous games, but manually operated with a slower firing rate. This type of sentry gun is less noticeable in a few multiplayer levels because of its slightly smaller size. While using the remote sentry, the camera turns infrared as people are colored white.
