SOCOM: US Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo 3
The team destroys the cache of chemical weapons and kill Gozorof and they all celebrate by going on vacation together. D'awww. Lonestar is killed by a sniper though.

-Neutral: You complete the mission to destroy the Schwarzwelt and the world goes back to normal.

Just Cause 2

The people we think are humans are actually Replicants, which were bodily shells created to save the human race from a virus 1300 years ago, but gained their own sentience.
