Confirmed: Gears of War 3's Clayton Carmine is a badass photo

Earlier today we learned that Epic Games is offering players the chance to kill or spare Gears of War 3's addition to the growing (and terminal) Carmine family. Judging from these new images, in which Clayton is shown off to be some sort of incredible asskicker, I have a feeling fans will not be wanting him to die any time soon. 

One can't blame Clayton for creating that huge pile of dead Locust, really. Considering what the horde have done to the rest of his family, it's hardly surprised he's written "Grub Killer" on his chestplate and likes to mow down as many Locust as he can with his giant tommygun. 

Speaking as a big fan of previous Carmines, this one looks incredible. I might have to toss my vote into the "Save him" pile!

I say screw tradition. Lag is also Gears tradition, so lose it. I'm a huge Carmine fan, so keep him. I love when he get's a headshot with the sniper in multiplayer he yells "SUCK IT! SUCK IT!!!!".

I wanted him to die initially on principle... but now I really want him to get revenge on the horde.

I was really unhappy when the second Carmine died. In the first one it was hilarious. I don't really care either way however I would vote for sleeves on both Marcus and the new Carmine.

I want Carmine To have REVENGE for his Fallen BRothers t Would be Messed Up if they all just died in Vain Screw Tradition...Maybe Epic should just make it a choice IN GAME so each person playing could decide what they wanna do with him...

Having only played the Gears games (and enjoyed them furiously), I had no idea there were so many fans who actually cared about the whole Carmine legacy. I took notice of it in the games a bit, but it takes something like this to remind me it exists.

So bully for them having people only both sides of the fence interested in the outcome. I hope this picks up enough steam to really generate some charity. I doubt I'll throw my own vote in, since I never have any Microbucks. But I was thinking about going out to buy a point card for Limbo - so maybe if there's enough left over, it could go to a good cause.

I always played as Anthony Carmine in both previous Gears, so I too am a fan of the Carmine clan. Let Clayton live!!

Carmine being the only character(s) in Gears I've legitimately liked, hell yeah.
Too bad their whole sleeveless look still looks horrendous.

i want him to go out in a blaze of glory, he is a carmine afterall. just let him die with dignity, not in some worm stomach acid or a sniper shot to the head in a relatively unimportant part of the game.

SPOILER ALERT: he's going to die.

But since this is a PR spectacle, there is gonna be alot of teasing and close calls when it comes to his death. Like that guy having to lose his arm in, "Hot Tube Time Machine"

Clayton Carmine has to live. He looks like a total badass and he needs to get some beastly revenge for his brothers. Clearly he isn't a rookie either so if he does die, it's got to be badass.

I like that the Carmines in the older gears didn't look all beefed up on steroids like the other characters. I don't like that this carmine isn't a normal size, but whatever that's fine. Does anybody else feel like they've made the charters in this game less cut and a little chunky?

That's what Gears of War needs. More badasses! Finally my fears of the series turning into a romantic comedy are assuaged.

I've always been a Carmine-exclusive player in multiplayer when it comes to Gears. I can't accept the idea of the 3rd Carmine dying, especially considering how badass he looks. There are only 3 ways I'd be okay with C. Carmine dying, each one more ridiculous than the last.

1) He dies and his brother, D. Carmine shows up, goes on a roaring rampage, jumps down an emergence hole, and then kills every single Locust that was in it. And then does this every single time you ever run into an emergence hole in the game ever again.

2) He goes out in an insane blaze of glory, duel-wielding lancers while riding a Brumak and lobbing grenades with his dick. Oh, and then punches a Berserker to death.

3) Mama Carmine shows up and avenges her children by winning the game for you. In multiplayer, a combination of motherly grief and having raised the Carmines gives her invincibility and the ability to sternly stare Locust into submission.

I don't like this Carmine...I prefer being a generic soldier (B carmine was best as he portrayed the best look for this)

I love how everybody wants gears now because there's a pocture of a masked man holding a mulcher with some dead aliens behind him.

Dude, I'm a massive fan of the gears franchise and all my hopes are going towards gears 3 being a kick ass games. I only stopped playing gears 1 because gears 2 came out.

My comment is what you would call an open comment, the idea was that it only applied to those who are fickle and clearly that isn't you but I apologise if you thought I was directing that personally at you.

I just think it's funny that the game is full of muscle bound "space marines and it gets slammed" for it.....then there's a t-shirt comp to decide the fate of a new muscle bound "sace marine" and people suddenly u-turn and go apeshit.

Once again, sorry if you thought that was directed at you. :)
