    So is Carmine going to die? What was the outcome of that T-Shirt thing. If he does die, maybe it should be a bacon related death.

    They haven't released details of this yet.

    Actually, yes they have. I won't say anything on here for spoiler reasons, but I will just leave this here for anyone who wants to take a look.

    Not specifically related to Gears of War 3, but why is Sera such a fucked up planet? I've only played sections of the game but I googled some of the backstory, was glassing 85% of the planet from orbit, and killing billions of humans really worth it just to take out a few locust? And how the hell are they going to survive with nearly all of humanity wiped from existence at the start of 3??? And as for restarting humanity, that one chick from the AMA footage is going to have a real rough future...

    These things confuse me...

    To expand on this question, is there any sort of civilization left on Sera at this point? Is there just smatterings of small villages in small parts of the world cut off from each other or something?

    According to the GOW wiki, they nuked 85% of the planet to kill the locust, the remaining humans then retreated to Jacinto Plateau, the only large intact landmass on Sera, which then got sunk into the Earth and flooded, or Eaten by a worm, either way that shits fucked, and now they're stuck on a chain of Islands somewhere and all civilization has devolved to the point of feudalism because the COG is gone and all thats left are random groups of stranded/Marcus & Friends. I really should just play the games...

    @Sweep,

    Does Marcus ever clarify just how good it is to see Jace?

    Does Marcus say "Aww come on!" in a new, more erotic context with either Anya or Dom?

    Finally, does Marcus hold his fingers to his ear even when Anya is standing next to him? My theory was always that she was actually standing behind him the whole time in both games, and that Marcus was just hard of hearing.

    Thank you for your time, you are a Gentlemann and a Scholar.

    there were theories goin around that in Gears3 we will see Marcus sticking his finger into Anya, followed by "Anya come on!"

    The COG glass all their own cities as a form of asset denial - not as much to kill the locust but to prevent them from stealing cog technology and resources - though this was 15 years before the events taking place in Gears 3. Yes, they have been reduced to a small number of primitive settlements with technology that they cannot afford to lose because they have no way of replacing it.

    This is actually handled by the Gears graphic novels which explain how Tai risked his life to save Dizzy and goes into more detail about the torture to which he was submitted after he was captured by Skorge.

    I can't help but feel that you have already crafted a far more elaborate universe in your own mind than any legitimate gears author could ever hope to create.

    It's hinted in the Gears 3 trailer that Adam Fenix is still alive and is infact being held captive by the Locust queen - who is forcing him to develop a cure for the lambent. This implies that at some point there are humans and locust communicating at the very least.... Lot's of people famed for wild speculation *coughKotakucough* have suggested that this will progress into an alliance between Humans and Locust in a similar way to Halo 3.

    I have no idea, though those pregnancy farms are mentioned a couple of times in the books. That stuff was pretty messed up. I also look forward to some pendulum war-era flashbacks, that would be bananas!

    Do they flash forward at all to when Marcus, Dom, Cole, Baird, Anya, and Queenie (formerly Locust Queen) have formed a team competing in the Liandri-sponsored Unreal Tournament?

    If the Gears of War franchise was a woman, what type of woman would she be and would she be the pants in the relationship?

    What if it was a menu item? How would you make a Gears of War salad?

    She actually had red hair, but yes. A lot of people want Alex Brand (That's her name) to be in the game, but so far it seems like there is nothing. Of course Quentin and Padrick (Other important characters from the books and comics) are in the game, so it's not out of the question.
     
    EDIT: Also to the person earlier who asked if Anya is infertile. It's implied that she is, Baird says in one of the books that "she can't have kids."

    I find it creepy that my friend told me that one time we were playing Gears of War, Sweep probably finds it weird that I relayed that question to him.
     
    Also maybe your friend should still use a condom, being infertile doesn't make you immune to STDs.

    Sorry man, 360 and PSP only...

    To answer a few questions I've seen is this thread but cannot be bothered to quote.

    • Anya is indeed infertile, which is why she originally enlisted into the COG.

    The answers to the other questions are kinda spoilerly but...

    • Cliff has confirmed that there will be no alliance between the Human's and Locust. After what the two species have done to each other, it's pretty unlikely each would be willing to work with the other. Despite the Lambent threat. The whole Adam Fenix captured by the Locust seems more like a hostage situation to me, than the beginnings of an alliance.
    • Rod Fergusson also confirmed in some interview with a website (can't remember which one) that the people voted for Carmine to live in GoW3. To replace the 'redshirt' of the series, they've introduced an aptly named 'COG Gear' who is voiced by the Old Spice Guy.
