''Two Betrayals'' was primarily designed by [[Bungie]] designer [[Dan Orzulak]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} ''Two Betrayals'' shares most of its level geometry with ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'', albeit adding the phase pulse generator rooms and skipping the opening section of ''Assault on the Control Room'': from where ''[[Echo 419]]'' deploys John-117 to where he first finds members of [[Fireteam Zulu]]. | ''Two Betrayals'' was primarily designed by [[Bungie]] designer [[Dan Orzulak]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} ''Two Betrayals'' shares most of its level geometry with ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'', albeit adding the phase pulse generator rooms and skipping the opening section of ''Assault on the Control Room'': from where ''[[Echo 419]]'' deploys John-117 to where he first finds members of [[Fireteam Zulu]]. The other main differences from ''Assault on the Control Room'' are that John-117 works "backwards" through the level (aside from his detours in Banshees), and it occurs at night. | ||
In an early story draft, John-117 returned to the Control Room to find Cortana had gone mad with power and now wanted to take over the universe. This plot point was cut for unspecified reasons. Cortana says British phrases like 'sod off' and 'toady about' in the opening cinematic of the level, because [[Jason Jones]] originally wanted Cortana to have a British accent. Cortana's voice actress [[Jen Taylor]] had already recorded the lines in her natural American accent when [[Joseph Staten]] raised the issue to Audio Director [[Martin O'Donnell]]. The dialogue and American accent were kept in the final release due to time constraints.{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}} In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Cortana says "piss off" rather than "sod off". | In an early story draft, John-117 returned to the Control Room to find Cortana had gone mad with power and now wanted to take over the universe.

*After the player takes out the third generator, any remaining Sentinels in the room will be destroyed. However, in rare instances that the generator is destroyed and the Aggressors are left alive, they will begin attacking the Master Chief and, despite being in a scripted custom animation, the Chief's shields will fall and he will die. The dialogue continues regardless. | *After the player takes out the third generator, any remaining Sentinels in the room will be destroyed.

* In the PC version of the game, Cortana does not shift colors during the beginning cinematic, instead she only appears green. Due to ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' being built using the PC version, this error is retained in the game's original graphics. | * In the PC version of the game, Cortana does not shift colors during the beginning cinematic, instead she only appears green.

* It's possible to soft lock the mission if the player manages to bring either a Ghost or Banshee with them into the large room just before heading towards the final generator. This can be done if the player, with enough practice, manages to jam either vessel through the semi-operational blastdoor used to enter the room. As a result, the 'Final Run' chapter won't activate, as well as any waves of Covenant or Flood that were meant to spawn. | |||

*Cortana says she can't "even begin to calculate the pulse's range," however, 343 Guilty Spark already stated that Halo's maximum range is 25,000 light years. It is possible that she just means she can't confirm the Monitor's statement. | *Cortana says she can't "even begin to calculate the pulse's range," however, 343 Guilty Spark already stated that Halo's maximum range is 25,000 light years.

*There is an unknown error in the mission that causes Flood Infection Forms to sometimes disappear, even if they aren't shot at. | |||

*In the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[The Heretic]]'' [[Unidentified master gunnery sergeant|an unnamed gunnery sergeant]] discusses the damage done to the Master Chief's old armor as he equips the Master Chief with a new one. Included is damage to the power supply. In the ending of this level and the accompanying scene in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Cortana]] mentions possible damage to the suit from using it to power a teleport jump. This level is thus likely where that damage occurred. | *In the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[The Heretic]]'' [[Unidentified master gunnery sergeant|an unnamed gunnery sergeant]] discusses the damage done to the Master Chief's old armor as he equips the Master Chief with a new one.

* In the final room of the structures connected to the second pair of bridges, there are nothing but Human Combat Forms roaming the room. It is theorized that Fireteam Zulu, who were stationed in the same vicinity for evacuation, were infected by the Flood in between the events of "Assault on the Control Room" and "The Library". | |||
