Sentinels were made to protect the forerunners from the flood:correct
so if the forerunners were humans then the sentinels would not attack the MC
They didn't, until 343 Guilty Spark caused them to when the Master Chief refused to activate the ring. As for on Delta Halo, the reclaimer is supposed to be guided to the control room by the monitor of the installation, and so it is likely the monitor that is supposed to keep the sentinels from attacking the Master Chief. The Master Chief was not recognized as a reclaimer, so the sentinels will attack him. As for the Arbiter, he is an Elite, and Elites were never chosen as reclaimers in either of the games, so he would be recognized as an enemy rather than a friend, and be attacked as well by the sentinels.
