Carmine must die! He didn't do anything wrong, and he doesn't deserve it, but it's the law! Anthony Carmine was slaughtered in Gears of War, Benjamin Carmine met a sad end in Gears of War 2, and in Gears 3, it's Clayton's turn. Or is it? This time, Carmine's fate is up to you, and by voting you get to donate money to Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity.
In Gears of War 3, fans get to decide is Clayton breaks or falls victim to the Carmine curse. Epic is offering Avatar shirts on Xbox Live Marketplace -- one that says "Save Carmine" and another that says "Carmine Must Die." To vote, you simply buy the shirt you agree with. The money goes to Child's Play, and you'll have had an influence on a major Gears character. It's win/win!
This is a seriously good idea, I think, and since it's for a good cause, I recommend that you do this thing. So, what's your vote? Cake or death?

Let the helmeted one survive, after all the stupid "can't see the sniper" jokes in Gears 2.
I don't have the privilege to go to child's play so please let him live people.
Man I miss playing Gears.
How much are the shirts? I like the idea only because it's going to Child's Play; if it weren't I wouldn't even consider it.
Carmine must.... I DONT KNOW!!!
And he should wear the helmet the whole game.
I love you.
...but, why doesn't Epic make a donation for every shirt that's DL'd instead of just donating our money to fund there cause? This is still a good thing, but I would expect more from a multi-million dollar company.
Good idea for a fundraiser :D
Even faceless spayshe marheens have feelings, along with a family to attend to.
But then again, he's a Carmine.
Carmines die.
Fuck, I can't choose!
If this is the last GoW, though, Save Carmine. Let the poor bastard live and keep his mother from grieving.
Seriously, B. Carmine was a total bro. Unlike those useless fuckers Tai and Dizzy who never helped me up when I was down, Carmine was always there.
"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."
"You said death first, uh-uh, death first!"
"Well, I meant cake!"
Carmine must live,I think they have played red shirt for long enough.
