Choices and Consequences[]
Consequences of Previous Missions[]
- Killing Jibril Al-Bara during Identify Jibril Al-Bara at Chateau will make Shaheed doubt your commitment to working with him, though he would still cooperate in the end.
Consequences in Following Missions[]
- If you answer "No" to Shaheed, you will get you the standard ending choices:
- Rejecting or not receiving the offer from Henry Leland, will make you fight against Leland. Yancy Westridge will not be encountered in person during the final mission.
- Agreeing to Leland's offer will make you fight Yancy Westridge, and then you can choose to either work for or betray Leland.
- If you answer "Yes" to Shaheed, regardless of whether you spare or kill him next, it will change the ending to Mike going after both Halbech and the U.S. — but only if you refuse Leland's offer. You will fight both Westridge as the final boss, and Leland during the cutscene afterwards, earning yourself the No Compromise, No Mercy achievement.
- According to credits news report, sparing Shaheed will allow Al-Samad to orchestrate a terrorist bombing in the West Bank. Also this will help convince Parker to change sides when pointing out his flawed analysis during the final mission, provided that the other requirements are met as well.
- According to credits news report, killing Shaheed will dissolve Al-Samad into splinter factions. Killing Shaheed will also make you harder to convince Alan Parker to change sides when pointing out his flawed analysis during the final mission. However there are another 2 events that can be referenced to convince Parker.
