Then I found it here once again, and there is more.

The ending is from the videogame Spec Ops: The Line. A great game that I wholeheartedly reccomend.

Spec Ops The Line is NOT your typical military-themed shooter.
It is psychological warfare against the people who play typical military-themed shooters.

You could compare Spec Ops to Fallout in a way, they are both 3rd person. Where it differs is the setting (Nuclear wasteland and Desert Dubai respectivley) Also Spec Ops has a stronger narrative and story over all. I would highly reccomend you get the game, even if you aren't a shooter guy.

EPIC work! It seems Littlepip was talking to herself and then she shot herself in the head. Her brain got messed up. She's sick in the head! What she done on the whole mission. I like the 'end transmission.'

Goldenblood: I could never escape the reality of what happened here, that was my downfall, there, finished. I hope you like it.
Blackjack: What the hell is going on?

Goldenblood: Go on, what do you think?
Blackjack: -Looks at the painting of burning ponies at the bottom with blackjack at the top with weapons around her- You did this..
Goldenblood: No, you did, your actions kill 47 innocent ponies, somepony has to pay for you're crimes, Blackjack. who's it gonna be
Goldenblood walks behind the painting and vanishes
Blackjack: "Golden..." -trots around the painting, and sees a pony behind it sitting in a chair- is that you?
Blackjack: "I'm done playing games, Goldenblood."
Goldenblood: "Are you, now? I assure you, this is no game."
-Blackjack slowly trots up to the chair only to find bones of a pony, eyes wide open in shock-
Goldenblood: -Walks up from behind blackack-"It appears that rumors of my survival, have been, greatly exaggerated..."
Blackjack: "This is impossible"
Goldenblood: "Oh I assure you, it is"
Blackjack: How?
Goldenblood: Not how, why.., you were never meant to come here

You're all that's left and we can't live this lie forever. levitates a pistol, pointing it at Blackjack's reflection in the mirrior I'm going to count to five, then I'm pulling the trigger.
Blackjack: You're not real. This is all in my head.
Goldenblood: Are you sure? Maybe it's in mine? One.
Blackjack: No... everything, all of this, It was your fault!
Goldenblood: If that's what you believe then shoot me. Two.
Blackjack: I-I didn't mean to hurt anypony...
Goldenblood: No-pony ever does Blackjack. Three.
Blackjack: *levitates a pistol and points it at goldenblood's reflection in the mirrior*
Goldenblood: Four. Is this really what you want Blackjack?
Blackjack points the pistol at her own reflection which in turn points it at her own head
Goldenblood: So be it, five.
Blackjack pulls the trigger, ending her life after becoming a monster
-slight static of a radio- Goldenblood: This is goldenblood, head of the Office of Interministry Affairs of Equestria, the evacuation to the nearest stable has ended up a complete failure, death toll, too many..
OH MAN what a twist if that would have happened as a ending for project horizons but meh, it won't

Neither is the bad ending or the good ending. All in all, you can either face and accept what you have done on that road on being a monster and be that so called (hero) in the eyes of everypony ..or.. you can end your life to stop yourself from going down that road. Littlepip finally saw the monster she truly is and feels the only way to be at peace is to comment suicide
Either way it goes, you lose in any choice you pick.
The damage is already done.

If it wanted to be true to the scene in Spec Ops then the "real" Pip would be aiming at her reflection while her reflection would be aiming at her own head. Made the scene much more powerful to me.
Just a nitpick, this is fucking awesome...
P.S. If we're going by "The Line" logic, I'm assuming she actually died during the Alicorn nuke. Or, any number of the scenes where she gets "knocked out"... which is very frequently now that I think about it...

Actually play The Line. Who knows, maybe you'll still hate the ending, but personally I hate endings like this too but actually experiencing the shit that goes down in that game it hit me hard.

Oh man, a crossover of one of my favorite fics and one of my favorite games... It's... Perfect.
Only downside is that it wasn't the Road Home ending. I think that Spec Op's "lets go home" moment between Pip and company would've been pretty fitting after all that's happened.

Littlepip, noe!!!!
But a masterful adaption of that fateful scene from Spec Ops: The Line
Though, IMO - if I was to chose a FoE character for this, I would choose RedEye: He seems to dead set that he's good in the sense that he's working for a 'great good' - he's the one who fucks things up in the tarnished name of good

JetWave In reply to webkilla [2014-06-10 20:25:24 +0000 UTC]
Personally, I would put Red Eye in Celestias place. He would fit perfectly, especially seeing how he were a supposed leader over an army. A person easy to blame. With Celestia, it just gets really odd seeing how Littlepip is blaming her for their deaths. But it still makes sense seeing how Celestia is the very last person she meets before the end, especially seeing as she isn't exactly alive when they meet either. Skeleton and all.
