I like to call this a "betrayal turnabout". Basically when the game suddenly pushes you into either betraying or getting betrayed, and suddenly things become entirely different. Not enough to make it a different game, but for the sake of being a big plot twist. I saw other games do this, such as GTA San Andreas, or the first two Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. I'd love to know more games with these kind of twists, because honestly, they really are an amazing way to turn around the plot and make it further interesting.

Oh c'mon, it's not that surprising, i first time played this game a few days back and wondered to see what was that one level 4 door, but i was 100% sure i was going to see it again, and i remembered that level half-way through the escape of MJ12, so it was pretty damn obvious and predictable.

It's weird, I've heard a lot of people recite that experience, but it was very different for me. Right after the inevitable death/surrender at the hands of Gunther during my first playthrough, waking up in the cells I figured immediately that I must be in UNATCO HQ. The prison block layout was nearly identical to the one you saw Simons interrogate the NSF troopers. I assumed right away that I must have been taken to the same cells, only to be shocked and surprised that behind the desk was a MJ12 trooper (already found their base in Hell's Kitchen by then) and that instead of the familiar hallway there was a bend around a corner that led me to a very unfamiliar place. It immediately clicked that this must be the place that was behind the locked doors in Medical.
