That's pretty much just stolen from their Crysis series, which could do the same thing.

I knew I had done that in some other game. Christ what a forgettable series Crysis turned out to be.

They went back to open environments with Crysis 3, but that game was too short. I honestly wound up liking Crysis 2 the best because, despite losing everything unique about Crysis 1, was the most well-done end to end. It's not that surprising that a series with "good graphics" as its only claim to fame was forgotten, even though Crysis 3 is still a top 3 most graphically advanced game available, if not still the best.

The story was something special too.

Crysis 1 - Koreans! Wait uh, Aliens!
Crysis 2 - Guy from the first game sticks his alien power armor on another guy to save his life and then blows his brains out. Turns out he's now a Ghost in The Machine and they're totally gonna be Master Chief and Cortana now. Also you probably beat this game in a day.
Crysis 3 - Just kidding, the guy in the suit is dead and now the guy from the first game controls his gross lifeless corpse in the suit.

One of my favorite examples of foreshadowing in a game is in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion during the Dark Brotherhood questline.

Halfway through it, you start getting assassination targets and payments through dead drops.

The first two orders are written on this:



The third and onwards orders look like this:



The change is really noticeable with the letters lined up alphabetically in your inventory (e.g. "Dead Drop Orders 1", "Dead Drop Orders 2", "Dead Drop Orders 3", etc.).


The reason is that a traitor (who's totally insane) in the Dark Brotherhood switched your orders after the first two, making you kill other Dark Brotherhood members to avenge his mother.


The handwriting and manner of writing change as well.
