I like the irony of deciding if we should kill a character to benefit dying kids.

So, to make money for charity, you're asking the internet if someone should die.

...

Is it only me that thinks that there's a terrible moral vaccuum here already? Not to mention *cough* Robin ripoff *cough*

I mean, Childsplay is a great charity, but couldn't there be something with a modicum of taste?

I'd say die, but that is just 'cause I'm evil like that... I only played the first Gear of War (years ago) and don't even own a 360... but still, the cliche "and everyone was happy and alive" endings bother me...
Two of his brothers both died in horrific fashions how can you say "everyones happy and alive" in the face of that?!

On topic i vote save. It would be cliche TO kill all of them, it would just seem generic:
"oh look another carmine again"
"oh look he died"
"wow"

What a weak twist on the "Team Edward/Jacob" crap. Don't know, don't care. Doesn't really matter if a fictional character in a video game dies to me, but at least it is nice they want to donate some money to charity for the event... for avatar clothing purchases. I'm not familiar with many people who buy the avatar clothing, so I'm not sure this will be the success they are planning.

Doesn't this also sound like you are paying for the ability to do the writers' job? I hope they've already written two endings for the game based on this PR stunt, so basically we're helping them flip a coin.

He needs to live, dammit!
Heck, I always play as the Carmines in multiplayer.

I think they should do the same thing with Killzone 3 personally.

You can either buy a T-shirt saying "Rico must Die!", or one saying "Rico must be force-fed his own testicles and then be fed into a tree-cutter feet first!"

God, that's a tough choice...

Also, didn't the letter from Benjamin in GoW2 mention there being a fourth D brother? Or is my memory just terrible? Haven't played the game in a while.
I think you were right about there being a fourth Carmine.
You're both right, there is a fourth Carmine brother. Can't remember his name though, but it starts with a D. Which makes me wonder if this is a trick. If people vote to save Clay, maybe they'll kill the fourth brother instead?

Save Carmine. Two of them are dead, that family has suffered enough.

Is his last name Carmine? Then he has to die. However, like others have suggested, let him die a hero mowing down wave upon wave of Locusts so that the others can escape to the final showdown. Let him die on his feet surrounded by the corpses fo the Locusts that have been felled by him along with thousands of smoking bullet cartridges as he makes the most epic of last stands. Let him not meet his fate in the same way as his brothers. Let him die a hero so that his family name will be remembered.

SAVE CARMINE!

wait...why not make that an in-game choice??
like your player can choose in a Mass Effect 1-esque situation to save Carmine or to sacrifice him for the mission or whatever?
or is that too much in the story department for Gears? :p

I kinda wanted to see the third Carmine die horribly, but seeing as we share a first name, imma vote for him to live. not only that, but to also be some kinda super Carmine that all his brothers could have been if only theyd been a little bit more competent.

Like I said, I've only played the first because they never made the second for PC. But still, to add to the "kill him" side, if they don't it could end up like Halo... :S

I think he should die, but in a blaze of glory killing thousands of locusts with that ripper of his. Would make his character much more badass.
