After accepting the offer of the administrator you have been
sent to investigate why a science team that
has failed to return from a routine "Anomalous Creature"
collection mission, they have also failed to radio in a report.
The helicopter is still operational but the science
equipment is disrupting further satellite observations.
Your orders are to investigate and remedy any problem found,
evac will be sent as soon as you complete the mission.

Betrayal is an apalling mess. The maps were so bad that i literally almost screamed BLOODY MURDER!
Fatal flaw, right at the start: you get stuck in the ground after the first level load.
I smell...A wanabe Mcpoker nearby
Except this came out 12 years earlier...
Well, I downloaded this expecting it to be bad and was unpleasantly surprised at just how bad it can get.
I don't quite understand, from a goldsource mapper's point of view, how some people manage to make maps with this many errors in them. A whole ruck of missing faces on simple brushwork, as well as some curious carving issues and jutting out brushes that look about 1 unit thick. Were these maps made using the smallest grid size? It's the only explanation I can come up with. Very poor practice all round.
Also, the stupidity of the AI in some sections is pretty incredible. The grunts are pretty smart enemies in terms of the GoldSource engine, yet here, the final engagement before the god awful ending was with 8 grunts, all of whom were trapped behind their desks by their own chairs. *Slowest clap ever*
The first engagement is impossible on hard mode with the machine gun (which looks like an M26... which is a shotgun but whatever). I simply ran through it. There is no way that you can take on the choppers, and judging by the number of scripted deaths that feature in this mod, I dare say it's intentional.
No fun whatsoever, especially during the slow cutscenes spliced in throughout.
