| '''Sentinel Majors''' are artificial flying constructs designed by the [[Forerunners]] and serve on the [[Halo]] Installations. It is safe to say that they're upgraded versions of regular sentinels.
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| They are similar to a regular [[Sentinel]], but are gold in color, have stronger blue beams, are protected by a light energy shield, and fire more accurately. They were only observed on [[Installation 05]], however in the games, there are some in most of the levels containing [[Flood]]. They fire a bright blue beam instead of the regular orange beam.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ==Function==
| |
| 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. It is also possible that there must be a massive outbreak, like the one on Installation 05, to give reason enough to construct these stronger versions.
| |
| | |
| 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]]. One can tell the difference between the weapons simply by noting that the stronger of the two is gold in color, rather than steel.

| == Trivia ==
| |
| *Sentinel Majors do ''not'' appear in [[Halo 3]] or [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], however the [[Automated Turret]] somewhat replaces the Forerunner drone in Halo 3.
| |
| *A Sentinel Major's Sentinel Beam fires a lustrous blue beam instead of orange and is stronger.
| |
| *When a Sentinel Major's [[Sentinel Beam]] is dropped it takes the color of an average Sentinel Beam. When picked up, however, the color is gold like a Sentinel Major and the beam is blue.
| |
| *It is presently unknown ''why'' the Sentinel Majors don't appear in [[Halo 3]], it would've been entailed a weighty and influential combatant against the [[Flood]] and also considering that [[Installation 00]] is one of the most prominent and important of [[Halo Array|Installations]].
| |
| * A possible glitch in [[Halo 2]] is to pick up two Sentinel Beams, one is a regular and another is a Major.
