Select the amount of text that you want to put spoiler tags, go to the Styles option and select Spoiler. It's easy as that. 

As for the endings per se, it's not as much Call of Duty esque as it is Deus Ex esque. I don't remember a Call of Duty that ends in "pick your ending out of these three choices"

ok thanks!

what i mean by call of duty esque doesn't have to do with choices but with the outcome. shepard goes alone on the final mission like if he is a one man army and the outcome is a big explosion with no closure and no emotion.

 

Hmmm, I didn't get that impression (about shepard being an one man army), mostly because he stays on the sidelines helping the tanks and Hammer team go through. The only moment where Shepard and his/her team does play an "One man army" is when they have to hold out for the Thanix missiles to be primed for launch, and even then, it only happens because the flanking teams fail to contain the situation. 

There have been much more blatant one man army situations in the ME universe than the final mission on ME3. Illos (where he faces the bulk of the Geth heretic army), The Collector's Base (taking on a gigantic station where an entire modified race resides just with 10-12 guys) and even the fight against the Reaper on Rannoch (which he is trully one man against a gigantic 160 m tall badass of a robot)

I think i need to rephrase my sentence. By one man army i ment that i expected him to be beside his squad mates, and if he died that he would be with them.  A perfect ending would be shepard sacrificing his life to defeat the reapers and as he falls to the ground dead joker catches him, and a tear falls.

Now i have to sleep hopefully i won't be as sad tomorow.

Ah yes, that part of the ending didn't make sense. Not much as him not being with his squadmates, but because it's inconsistent with what happens when Harbinger's laser hits. Supposedly no one but Shepard and Anderson survives it (meaning your squadmates die, and indeed, if you have a low enough EMS, they do appear on the ground dead) but then you see them leaving the Normandy after it crashes on that planet, so something is rather "off" there
