{{Sentinel}}'''Sentinel Majors''' are artificial flying constructs designed by the [[Forerunners]] and serve on the [[Halo]] Installations. They are similar to a regular [[sentinel]], but are gold in color, have stronger beams, are protected by a light energy shield, and fire more accurately.  They were only observed on [[Installation 05]].
#REDIRECT [[Aggressor Sentinel Eliminator]]
 
In combat, their shields are less powerful than that of an [[Elite]], and the beam fired is blue instead of orange. It is also more powerful, but its battery drains faster as a result. You can pick up this beam and the normal beam as your primary and secondary [[weapons]], but there is no difference in it's design so if you hold both you won't know which is which without firing it.
 
Sentinels have been known to have been created long before Installation 04 was ever conceived. They operated automated facilities such as Gas Mines like the one found on [[Threshold]] for "untold centuries" before the facility was redesigned to research the [[Flood]]. Therefore it is possible that they were only outfitted for combat after the Flood was discovered.
 
The Sentinels are the "police" of the [[Halo]] installations, and are controlled by the [[Monitor]] of the Installation. Their primary purpose is to contain small outbreaks of Flood, however they can only manage flood for a short time. Should an outbreak grow beyond the sentinels' ability to control, [[Enforcers]] and Sentinel Majors are activated by the Monitor of the Installation to assist the Sentinels.

Although they only appear in Halo 2, in the [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]] levels, [[Two Betrayals]] and [[The Maw]], a few Sentinel Minors have shields.
