... When I originally played the game, and still to this day, I consider it the worst ending.
Simply because it causes the most suffering and death.
Illuminati ending is ... essentially status quo, nothing really changes, beyond your personal story.
Helios ending... well, terrifying, but frankly, I trust JC.
Play through DX IW and you'll see he... makes very persuasive arguments.
Uh, anyway, canonically, they blended all three endings together, to set up DX IW.
I'd say the JC/Helios ending is... fairly clearly the most optimistic ending of IW.
Also, fun little uh, spoiler, I guess... one of the endings of DX IW features a panning/dollying shot from the vantage point of an orbital space station.
Its looking at the Eastern US and Western Atlantic.
... Florida isn't present. It's almost entirely underwater, by ~2080.
