Alcatraz went into the alien spore and created a bridge between the nano-suit and the alien DNA, changed the spore to kill the Ceph, and at the end where you see him say " They call me Prophet, " Prophets DNA (maintained in the deep layer) and Alcatraz's DNA were combined through the nano-suit. So now its a Prophet mind with an Alcatraz body ( now healed from the Nano-Suit merging with his tissue. )

Kind of. It's still ambiguous as to what the staus of Prophet/Alcatraz actually is at the end. It's more and open to debate than that IMO.

DNA doesn't store consciousness anyway, and it was expressly stated Prophet's DNA link was severed. It's more likely the suit AI copied Prophet's personality and gained sentience, and Alcatraz succumbed to his trauma at the end, leaving the suit AI to take over control making it an organic/machine cyborg with the copied personality of one dead man and the integrated body of another dead man, but alive in it's own manner and technically a new individual.

In my opinion your interpretation of the end fits very well. The story was kinda nonsense to me (did the sp 3times on each difficulty except for the easiest)but I really think that the suit copied Prophets DNA and combined it with Alcatrazs body.But now only Prophets DNA was copied, also his whole mind e.g. his memories. Makes sense to me though.

Excellent way to put it. The suit I believe also takes up its own personality

Couldn't he just be saying that since everyone pretty much called him Prophet except for a few people who knew him? Afterall, Alcatraz isn't his real name, just a codename. Prophet is the name of the guy in the suit, but now that Alcatraz is in the suit, wouldn't he simply take that codename. As Alcatraz was the name of the spec-ops grunt that he was before. Wouldn't it simply make more sense to continue being called Prophet? A kind of pathetic idea, but it has some sense(at least from my pov). Plus, he was talking to Carl Rasch, who was someone he had just established contact with, how would he interact with someone like Gould? I don't know, we'll just have to wait for the third installment for all the pieces to really be put together.

Would Hargreave have put on the suit knowing that it may interfere with his mental state? ;s so confuzzled

Prophets actual name is Laurence Barnes bro.

The other thing to remember regarding my theory of both Prophet and Alcatraz dying and the suit becoming sentient is that even Hargreave states they don't know what the suit is fully capabale of, being as it's based on a mixture of human and Ceph technology. Even the plague interface was only theoretical until they did it.

I honestly believe the suit learnt from Prophet and adopted his personality and memories, and is this in combination with Alcatraz's body to have become a new sentient individual. I think Alcatraz dies at the end as the trauma and injuries are too much for him, and the suit then takes over, with his still partially functional body fused permanently into the suit.

The ending was horrible. What a crappy way to end the game, IMO. I like the idea of the suit and the individuals who controlled it all kind of combining to become one unique entity, but the cutscene itself was just poorly done and explained. Plus I have a real hatred when games change perspectives all of a sudden for no reason -- going from first-person to showing the entire setting from an omnipotent view. If they had to, I'd have preferred them just zoomed out on Alkatraz at the end (in-game, not pre-rendered) like they did Nomad in Crysis 1 and ended it like that.

Alcatraz is a marine and they always put there last name on their shirt not their code name

The suit is symbiotic bro, meaning it needs a living host to bind to in order to work, and Alcatraz really can't die, considering that his heart stopped twice, he got EMP'd, and you get shot at a whole lot. Also considering the fact that the Nano-Suit combines with his tissue to heal him..
