    No seriously, i don't know if it's a trend coming on in the fps history, but almost all endings in those games nowadays have a "fin en queue de poisson" as we say in french, maybe it's just to make a sequel for the game license or maybe it's a lack of imagination, i don't know.

    HL2, Doom3, FEAR, Quake4, Painkiller, have crappy endings and it begins to be really annoying.

    an ending where you got a strong frustration feeling, when at the end you don't even know more as in the beggining, just like x-files in fact ..

    Quake 4's ending has to be one of the worst I've ever seen, still nothing will ever beat MOH:AA and 'THE END'

    True, but the X-files rule and I'm still hoping for a 10th season some day ;D

    damn you, i havent played through boh yet.

    But I agree. Games these days just cant get the ending right. I must admit though, I did love HL2s ending. It works really well.

    games released in episodes will make it even worse. Most retarded idea evr by the way - imo. Players complain about short playtimes of modern games and what do developers? think releasing games in episodes is cool :roll:

    Thanks for reminding me of that horrid MOH ending.

    Seriously, 99% of games have rubbish endings. It's the getting there that counts.

    I thought so too. But anyway, what games have a good ending? It would seem that most big-budget titles have to leave the story open to make way for a sequel or expansion pack.

    HL1 ending came first, which means that HL2 WAS A BLATANT COPY!!

    *shakes fist towards the US* (thats where Valves office is:P)
