Gears of War 3
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Sep 20, 2011
The third and final installment in the Marcus Fenix trilogy. Taking place on the apocalyptic planet Sera, 18 months after the ending of Gears of War 2, players will once again take control of C.O.G. soldier Marcus Fenix as he takes on the Locust threat and their Lambent rivals.
Carmine Might Actually Live Through Gears of War 3
Just before Comic-Con, Microsoft and Epic Games unveiled a hip contest that gives fans a vote in the matter of whether a new Carmine will survive his grand Gears 3 adventure. Two different Carmines have bit the dust in the previous Gears releases.
A digital t-shirt purchase on the avatar marketplace is the only way to decide his fate. Those who want Carmine to eat it need to buy a cute "Carmine Must Die" shirt. Those who want him to live, which is the more popular of the two right now, need to buy a subdued "Save Carmine" shirt before the campaign closes on September 2, 2010.
On the official Gears 3 website, Microsoft is calling the race "close," meaning it's still possible to get Carmine's head knocked in proper-like. Regardless of where we fall on the Carmine life/death thing, though, it's important to remember that all the proceeds of this contest will be going to Child's Play, a neat charity that gives sick kids game-related stuff. Who knew a character's death could be so beneficial?

If he does live, I hope its a psych-out you-think-he-died-but-he-comes-back-and-saves-the-day-at-the-last-second type deals.
I want him to die, it's kind of an tradition, lol =P
like Otacon crying, I think Camine is meant to die in every gears game
i hope carmine survives, for once. i don't want him to save the day or anything, that would be far too predictable, but i'd love to see him redeem the family name.
Yes! I always felt sick when Carmine died. Even had to vote in his favor.
Although.. what if I miss a chance on Carmine's sister Carmine to take his place...? Damn it!
I'm not the biggest fan of doing this but, is Carmine, maybe living, maybe not living, ultimately news?
I mean really?
" New carmine looks like hes seen more combat than the other two. "But his tattoo in remembrance of his brothers is their helmets and not their actual faces! Who would do that?!
Regardless. I agree. He looks like he is actually a soldier, and not some guy who just wants to kill Locust.
Well I'm kinda interested in how this will turn out and its a good follow up to Brads previous article. Besides if this reminds more people to by a shirt and Child's Play gets a few more bucks that can't be bad right?" I'm not the biggest fan of doing this but, is Carmine, maybe living, maybe not living, ultimately news? I mean really? "
Well I did not know how the race was going, so yeah it is news to me and on a side note it highlights the charity. That is generally what news is, informing people of current affairs / events that they are unaware of. Why don't you RSS feed in the future? You can bypass what you don't deem news."

They're completely real. Mine came in the mail yesterday.
Carmine needs to die, though after his brother got swallowed by a giant worm in the last game, he'll need to step it up if he wants to live up to the family tradition of terribly embarrassing death sequences.
Carmine must die. For it to be any other way is just ludicrous. Someone has to die for there to be some of that "Oh shit people are really getting killed" in the story, and if not Carmine, then who?
they are" I wish the t-shirts were real though "

again all proceeds go to childs play so why not?
" The twist is that if Carmine lives, Dom dies. "This.
Dom sacrifices himself to save him and everyone who voted "Save Carmine" goes "FUUUUUU.."
