I would say that IW was very much so going for a grittier, darker ending than any previous titles. (Note: I haven't actually played any of these sections, this is all conjecture from what I've read) You get that feeling of being a hero and saving the day when you commandeer LOKI and blast the crap out of the Federation. The end is the opposite, it's when your team eventually fails after completing its mission. Ultimately, you lose the battle, but you win the war. (or something equally philisophical)
