| '''Sentinel Majors''' are artificial levitating constructs designed by the [[Forerunners]] and serve on the [[Halo Array|Halo]] Installations. They are upgraded versions of regular sentinels.
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| They are similar to a regular [[Sentinel]], in basic shape and function. Sentinel Majors; however, are gold in color rather than white, have stronger blue beams, rather than weaker orange beams, are protected by a light energy shield, and fire more accurately. They were only observed on [[Installation 05]] during the [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone]]. In the games, they are seen combating [[Flood]].
| |
| | |
| Sentinels have been known to have been created long before Installation 04 was ever conceived. They operated automated facilities such as [[Gas Mine|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 seen 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 them in [[Halo 3]].
| |
| *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|The Ark]], is one of the most prominent and important of [[Halo Array|Installations]].
| |
| *A possible glitch in [[Halo 2]] is to pick up two [[Sentinel Beam]]s, one is a regular and another is a Major.
| |
| *It is possible that the Sentinels that are in Halo 3 with the shielding are Sentinel Majors.
| |
| *A single overcharged Plasma Pistol bolt, is sufficient enough to take out a Sentinel Majors shield and severely damage the Sentinel.
