Never heard of him, but I think it's important for a game to get good voice actors.

"Without or Without Ice-T" Either a typo, or an elegantly placed allusion to the denial of his involvement... It'll be pretty cool if he joins the cast, but I wonder who...

Meh Ice-T is a pretty okay actor. I would be interested to see his work in this. But probably not, GoW is just not my thing.

HAHAHA I GET IT ICE-T!! AS IN ICE-TEA!!!!

Really wish that people made fun him for his stupid name choice.

But why does he think he will bring more sales to the game? The Gears of War franchise is already awesome.
But now, it has extra [HEADING=1]WRAPPING![/HEADING]
That was quite [HEADING=1] PUNNY! [/HEADING]

Cool, he can be one of the Carmine's half brothers, or maybe a cousin or something.

No doubt, the faithful Gears fans will love this. Just like the degenerate Saints Row crowd no doubt became wild after Tera Patrick advertised their game.
I didn't. Tera Patrick was awful in the game as a character, and plus her advertisement was just bleh. Hard to believe she works in porn as an actress... I could understand if she was the camera person or something, but... No. x_x

Ice-T is a really entertaining actor and even people who don't like the whole "urban culture" (read: black rappers) generally like Ice-T. He's a pleasant individual, even with the whole "cop killa" thing. He'll make a good contribution to the game.

In all honesty, the person I really want in every game is Keith David. His voice is a chocolate waterfall...

Ice-T will play the role of the true leader of the Locus hoard. 50-Cent will take over as the main protagonist and Gears 3's full title will be:

50 Cent Presents
Gears of War 3
featuring Ice T and 50 Cent

this being said by someone who lost interest after beating the original on normal difficulty

"It'd be a little more star power, you know what I'm saying," he told Bleszinski. "Put Ice-T on the box, that's a million sales right there."

You know what? As much as I prefer Ice T to fiddy (which ain't saying much, there are much better rappers out there) ol' Curtis Jackson was in MW2 and no-one cared. Maybe because there was no actual buzz generated about it, but it doesn't matter.

If Stephen Fry was voice acting in Big Rigs 2: Revenge of the sharp corners I still wouldn't care or buy it. And I love Stephen Fry.

And the millions of people around the world who buy the albums of such artists who perfect the cultural movement known as hip-hop agree with you, I'm sure.

And for feck's sake it's only his voice. It's hardly going to make the game drop a few points in quality is it?

Just because a lot of people like it doesnt mean its actually a good thing. And yes, it very well might make the game drop in quality. I dont know how his voice acting is, but if he's gonna be the "token black guy" or a very YO YO YO guy, it WILL drop the quality of the game. Cole Train was neato, but Ice-T might make me think "omg...justbesilentbesilentbesilent!!!!" when playing.

I'm sure Hayden Christensen was cast in SW to please the eyes of 14 year old girls, and we all know how that turned out. If Ice-T is cast on the basis of "omg lets get a rap-star to voice our token black guy because rappers are really cool nowadays" it can and most likely WILL rob the game of quality.

True it doesn't. But "good thing" and "waste of oxygen" are two different matters entirely. That's a completely different subject to get in to which isn't necessary, but what I'm trying to say is, you're wrong, otherwise it would have died out long ago with Disco and Rock and Roll. On to the topic at hand.

No one batted an eye-lid when Lester Speight voiced Cole-Train as a very YO YO YO guy (and he was pretty much), so why will Ice-T lower the quality of the game if he does it?

And if that is the case, it was never Ice-T's fault to begin with. If he says something you hate, blame the scriptwriters. If he is cast as a rapper, he is not to blame, Epic is. I very much doubt he's going to walk in there with pre-written lines and say "this is what I'll be saying, nothing else". If he does, let me know and I'll consider publicly apologising.

They stuck 50 Cent in MW2 and there was no huge buzz, and 50 Cent is much more relevant today than T is. Ice-T might think he's going to be on the cover of the game, but the chances of this happening are going to be slim.

If he lowers the quality of the game personally, that will probably be because he's a crap voice actor.
