'''Two Betrayals''' is the eighth level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It is set in the same location as [[Assault on the Control Room (Level)|Assault on the Control Room]], but this time [[John-117|Master Chief]] travels in the opposite direction. The objective is to destroy three [[Phase Pulse Generators]] while fighting three other factions of enemies striving towards everyone Else's destruction. | '''Two Betrayals''' is the eighth level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.

The Master Chief, after teleporting back to the [[Control Room]], proceeds to activate [[Installation 04]]. However, [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]], who after spending twelve hours in the control room has discovered Halo’s true purpose, stops him just in time. After stealing the [[Activation Index]], she tells the Chief that Halo will wipe out all life in the galaxy, and turns the Chief against the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]].

However, [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]], who after spending twelve hours in the control room has discovered Halo’s true purpose, stops him just in time. After stealing the [[Activation Index]], she tells the Chief that Halo will wipe out all life in the galaxy, and turns the Chief against the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]]. Spark sends [[Sentinel]]s to take the Spartan's head, and the AI inside his helmet. After destroying the Sentinels in the Control Room, Cortana tells the Chief to destroy three Phase Pulse Generators to buy some time, in case the Monitor finds a way to activate Halo without the index. While Cortana tries to locate the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash site, the Master Chief must hijack a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] and set out to destroy the generators. After destroying the third pulse generator, Cortana teleports the Master Chief to a Covenant cruiser: the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. There the level [[Keyes (Level)|Keyes]] begins. | ||

*'''Cortana''': "We can't let the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] activate Halo. We have to stop him. We have to destroy Halo. According to my analysis of the available data, I believe the best course of action is somewhat... risky. An explosion of sufficient size will help destabilize the ring, and will cut through a number of primary systems. We need to trigger a detonation on a large scale, however. A star ship's fusion reactors going critical would do the job. I'm going to search what's left of the Covenant [[Covenant Battle Network|battlenet]], and see if I can locate the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash site. If the ship's fusion reactors are still relatively intact, we can use them to destroy Halo." | *'''Cortana''': "We can't let the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] activate Halo.

*'''Cortana''': "I haven't located the crash site yet but we need to buy some time, in case the Monitor or his Sentinels find a way to activate Halo's final weapon, without the Index. The machinery in these canyons are Halo's primary firing mechanisms. They consist of three phase pulse generators that amplify Halo's signal, and allow it to fire deep into space. The power levels are enormous. I can't even begin to calculate the pulse's range. So, if we damage or destroy these generators, the Monitor will need to repair them before Halo can be used. That should buy us some time. I'm marking the location of the nearest pulse generator with a nav point. We need to move in and neutralize the device." | *'''Cortana''': "I haven't located the crash site yet but we need to buy some time, in case the Monitor or his Sentinels find a way to activate Halo's final weapon, without the Index.

*You can snipe the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] driver at the beginning of the level. When the music starts, aim at the Wraith and you will see an [[Sangheili|Elite]].

*This level is similar to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level, [[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]] as they take place at night in a snowy place, has you fighting the Flood and Sentinels, involves the Index being stolen, and involves betrayals at the beginning or end of the level with someone who helps guide the player to the Index. | *This level is similar to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level, [[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]] as they take place at night in a snowy place, has you fighting the Flood and Sentinels, involves the Index being stolen, and involves betrayals at the beginning or end of the level with someone who helps guide the player to the Index. | ||
