I was slightly at odds to the survival of Clayton Carmine until I saw this screenshot. 

Dude has a sweet tattoo.

You should be banned for saying this.

I think it's a cop-out if dude lives.
 
CARMINES ARE SUPPOSED TO DIE

He should die. 
 
But he should die as a hero at the end of the game.

" I think it's a cop-out if dude lives.  CARMINES ARE SUPPOSED TO DIE "

He has to take off his helmet to reveal that he is actually Cliffy B.

Sweep, I totally agree. Good call.
 
Also, that Born 2 Saw tattoo is rad also.

i wanted him to live but after seeing what he looks like he should die no offence

Well, it doesn't really matter what you think. It is all up to the contest, which in my opinion, will probably have the "Carmine Must Die" being the winning vote. It seems alot of people want to keep the Carmines dying. For me, I am kinda tore on Clay, I mean I want a Carmine to live, but he is too badass to be a Carmine. I always enjoyed the weak, rookie Carmines better. 
 
Also, maybe if Clay dies, D. Carmine will be in the game as well and live.

You know I was on the fence leaning towards him dying, but your right that is an awesome and pretty deep tattoo and he definitely looks bad ass so I think he should live.  But I don't think its going to happen, all the Carmines are going to die.  And if he does die then I hope it's an awesome heroic death, that would be cool.

Carmine must LIVE!

Three brothers killed fighting in a war...that's just not right. Anyway the guy looks like an animal but if he has to go...at least have him flip the fuck out just once and not get shot in the back of the head

Wouldn't his tattoo actually show the faces of the brothers he loved so much, rather than just the helmets?

Anyway I'm a big fan of Epic's "we don't give a shit about this character so lets let the fans decide what happens to him" design for characters in games. Too bad I also don't care.

I still miss Lt. Kim, though.

He also has "Grub Killer" wrotten on the front of his armor. 

I agree. He must survive!

Hey, even the creators of South Park stopped killing Kenny in every episode. "

"@Ahmad_Metallic:  because the guy who voiced chef died "

The only good Carmine is a dead Carmine!

" I agree. He must survive! "

Carmine LIVES 
 
 
(and dies as an hero in the end))

How about he lives but then gets a serious illness from all the steroids? I kinda want it to be a draw to be honest.

He should die just so then they can make the spin-off Saving Private Carmine and go after the fourth brother.

" The only good Carmine is a dead Carmine! "

"You racist! "

I've only played Gears 2 so didn't know anything about there being a tradition of Carmines dying, I'm ok with him dying though if he saves the world in doing so, that would be cool. 
 
Edit: Fourth Carmine should be named Dennis.

Carmine must live!
Or die in a heroic manner.

Sweet tattoo, but a carmine shall be slayed. or all hell breaks loose

That is an extraordinary tattoo. I just hope that EPIC doesn't reveal whether he lives or dies before release. I can totally see them going "Here are the results!" and spoiling it.

@Ahmad_Metallic:  because the guy who voiced chef died "

If he dies. At least have him die being a hero. Maybe blocking the path for the guys to escape. Or taking out some super foe. 

He aint going to die cause hes fucking massive.

He quit before he died though. He thought the show was getting too offensive and racist or something. "

I agree! Let Carmine live!

I can't decide if he should live or die. Kind of hard to make a decision without really knowing anything about the character. I guess I'd like to see him live.

i wanna see him live, credits roll, happy ending then boom! Accidently shoots himself in the head while cleaning his lancer.

I say they should handle it like the bell hop from Hot Tub Time Machine. Make Carmine have crazy close calls with the dudes from Delta being like, "Oh yeah, it's gonna happen NOW! WT... F!!! How is he still alive!"  Finally, after the credits have a tombstone with his name engraved showing he died of old age at the rip old age of 103. Hey if they did this, more or less everybody would get what they want.

I am totally with the OP. I have already bought my Save Carmine shirt for my avatar. He looks like a very, very cool character, and it always made me kind of sad whenever one of the Carmines died :(
 
P.S. I fucking love that they are still wearing their helmets on his tattoo, haha.

" He should die, But as a hero at the end of the game. "

Only if he's the last Carmine brother.

Clayton must live.

God Dayum. Guy reminds me of Raven from the MGS series from that shot.

I'm doing my part for the save carmine fund, bought the T-shirt. C'mon Clayton! 
 
Also interestingly, if you look at the marketplace you'll notice that the "save Carmine" T-Shirts are higher in the bestsellers than "Carmine must die" T-shirts... awesome sauce.

Thats not a true carmine, the Carmines are thin, fragile and have tendecy to die.

Clayton should get captured to set up a Gears Of War themed Saving Private Ryan knock off campaign. Then get killed.
