Epic Games has decided to leave the third Carmine brother’s life in your hands. Not exactly the most responsible choice, but Epic definitely has some good intentions here. You see, to vote you have to purchase a digital T-Shirt for your Xbox Live avatar stating “Save Carmine” or “Carmine Must Die”. All proceeds from the shirt sale go directly to the Child’s Play charity.
The sale begins on July 29, so you have more than a week to sit and ponder how important Carmine’s existence is to you. Prices have yet to be announced. Alternatively, if you’re at the San Diego Comic Con this week you can buy a limited edition real version of the t-shirts at the NECA booth (#3145).
Does a children’s charity fund justify killing a video game character? Anthony and Benjamin Carmine died in Gears of War 1 and 2 respectively without any such charitable conundrums. Will Clayton Carmine meet a similar fate? Knowing Xbox Live’s typical audience I can’t say the outlook is very good.
It’s hard not to root for Carmine’s survival, in my opinion. In fact, if Gears of War 3 ended up being a Saving Private Ryan style movie, where the COGs were forced to search and bring home the third brother after his brothers were killed in action, I would be quite pleased. Likely though, we’re talking about a five second sequence near the beginning of the game where Carmine either get shot in the head or doesn’t.
Still, charity is charity, so find some change in your couch and purchase a Carmine T-Shirt come July 29th. Gears of War 3 is aiming for release on April 5, 2011 for the Xbox 360.
Which way are you going to vote, Ranters?

I’m voting to save Carmine. Clayton looks frigging bad ass!
#killcarmine
if its for charity kill any of em. you can always bring em back via nanos or whatever if the execs/marketers want anyhow.
He’s dead.
Holy crap, Clayton is a beast!
I definately voting to save him just because I don’t think this whole ‘A Carmine does in every game’ is a funny gimmick especially in a serious gritty war type game. Plus anyone who can actually look intimidating in that helmet deserves to live in my book.
save carmine
He must live f all those people who say that he will die how about they die instead for saying that(not by me though). Anyways if there’s anyone that i personally think should die its BAIRD!not Clayton Carmine. So im voting to make him live. As for you tai your comment makes no sense cause the money goes to charity whether you vote for him to die or to live and extact vengence upon the evil locust and Lambent. As for the tradition part thats just bullshit cause there is no tradition for the carmine brothers to die. Clayton has a chance to live now so lets make it happen people vote for him to live I will gladly do the same.
It is just a game! It’s not like anyone is dieing that would be different. So shut up and kill him!

Whichever you choose, life or death, it still goes to carity either way so it is all a matter of personal preference. Every character named Patrick is always either a douche or evil. Exept Patrick Galloway from Undying I guess. I vote to save Carmine, long live the Carmine clan.
