Poll: Which Gears of War character will die in 3?

[JWW]

Hopefully all of them. I usually hate #4's.

 

[Instant K4rma]

This is just my personal grudge influencing me, but I'm voting Baird.

 

[technoted]

If I remember correctly during the cutscene you get on GoW 1 when you leave it at the title screen for a while, a person very similar to Baird get's crushed by a Brumak, I always wondered if that would play out in the game at some point if it was infact Baird.

I also wonder if there will be a Saving Private Carmine, after the 3rd brothers dies, sort of a joke put in, since it is very similar to Saving Private Ryan, 4 brothers, 3 die in combat Etc.

 

[technoted]

Epic Games has confirmed two things that to me, foreshadow one of the original characters dying in Gears 3 (possibly early on too). They have confirmed that there will be 4 player co-op, and Anya will be one of those playable characters.

Can I ask for your source?

 

[Tony2077]

i vote for the older carmine

edit i hope it him instead of one of the main character i like them all even dom

Anya or Dom.

Dom- Not likely either, the trailer revolved around him, his emotional story is going to drive Gears 3.

Dom's story has already ended with Maria's death, and you can see he's pretty clearly let himself go in the trailer. He doesn't have much more reason to live and stay in the fight with his wife gone, and he's really just hanging on for his buddies. Him being Marcus's best friend makes him prime plot fodder considering the emotional impact it'd have on the main character.

Anya- Extremely unlikely, as she has been confirmed to be a playable character.

Yeah, that wouldn't help much...Lt. Kim in GOW1 was a playable character, and I'm pretty sure he won't be walking again anytime soon in the story. Not to mention that Epic hasn't really developed her as Marcus's romantic interest much in the games, so wiping her out (after a rushed romantic subplot in the final game) would really show how much he really cared.

I still stick with Anya the most. Yeah, she's been there from the start, even before Baird and Cole, but she isn't part of the Fab Four. You could call me fucking clairvoyant for the way I called Carmine II's death when I felt the squad was getting one man too crowded. Same unfortunate fate befell Tai.

Edit:

Probably Hoffman

Using Anya as a playable character shows that they are trying to show an allout assault on the Locust, and so Hoffmans death will probably be used as a mid-point to penultimate event in the game in an Ambush like scenario for a "NOOOOOOOOO" like moment that will send Marcus on a destructive journey to the Queens new lair which will set up the final boss fight which will be a bastard to complete. With the death of the Queen it will allow the game to finish on a landscape view of the ocean which was once Jacinto along with a voiceover to then finish on sad music with the Gears of war logo.

Everything you just described just flashed through my mind in 5 seconds and it made perfect sense.

Fuck Karen Traviss,YOU should write for Epic.

Cole Train? There's a guy named Cole Train?

Oy vey.

I'm going with "All of Them", because that might keep a Gears of Four from coming out.

Microsoft confirmed that this will be the end of this story arc for Gears. That to me, implied they will make another.

now, all things ive read have been that gears 3 "will" be the finale, this dosent mean there wont be side games (sorta like what halo did when they made ODST). on topic, since most of this info confirms that it "will" be a finale (remember, dont always beilieve everything though.) the reality is, its gotta go at with a bang. since dom and marcus are both round charactors *srry for my terrible spelling* its either gonna end happy, or, its going to die trying. now, if cole, or baird were to die, yes there would be some upsets, but it would be infering there would be a 4th title. if this happens, then the gears franchise would lose its luster (if it already hasnt). that is my thiesis *again, srry with my horrible spelling* and yes i do have a life, ive got 3..... ba dom chh.

that, or the end boss will be like killing a paralyzed from the neck down zombie, shoot a gernade in mouth, blow brains and other matter from the skull for some hyperbole, and then you have the gears 2 boss all over again, but, like i stated before, why kill off a charector that has no meaning, it would be like throwing away a rotten apple, it was a waste of money, but, you have a new apple sitting in your lap, so it didnt matter..... am i getting any were with these ridiculous simile/ metaphore/not having a fucking point comments.... i dont think i am.

oh, and the fact that there is now an unknown enemy at this point, somthing is probly gonna go down hells corner in the end, it would make it more climactic *srry for spelling* and controdicting my theory of this being the finalle, i mean, now that i think of it, you cant just introduce a new enemy, and then end the series.... right?

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

I can only hope all of them die negating the need for a fourth game.

Well as mentioned in the comments about the new trailer, it's probably a Lambent mutation, possibly a Creeper, so it won't be a completely new enemy

and don't worry you are getting somwhere with them, but the writers will use a pointless death of a prominent role in the COG war in order to create a "Shits going down" point and then they'll maybe do a prominent death - probably Cole, Baird will blame Marcus and go away, Marcus will carry on with the mission and nearly die in the final battle until Baird jumps in with his chainsaw, and makes people think he dies then we go to your point and then the gay ending expressed in mine

 

[Danzaivar]

I hope everyone but the new Carmine gets killed.

 

[Tony2077]

i think carmine will since he seems to be the red shirt

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Cole. Fuck's sake PLEASE God COLE. I hate that douchebag.

 

[VanityGirl]

Uhmm... are we forgetting the very death prone Carmines? You know that another Carmine will enter the game.
(Since Gears 2 made the point to mention that there are like 4 or 5 Carmine brothers. A. and B. Carmine are dead, but hey, maybe we'll kill of C. Carmine next!)

Carmine dying is almost comic relief, like whenever they kill Kenny on South Park.


But, I'm guessing they'll kill of Baird. Baird is one of the least likable characters and sometimes I want to punch him in the face (if it were possible).

Cole Train dying would honestly piss me off. If they kill Cole Train off I would probably set my controller aside and cry for a few minutes. Cole's way to epic to be killed off.

 

[sephiroth1991]

Their is going the be some sad moment between Marcus and Dom

 

[The DSM]

I hope marcus does, then they can wind up the series and start work on some other games.

Spoiler

Is it just me or does the fact that everybodys dead and all the cities just make everything before then pointless? you tried to save humanity and failed so now your killing locusts for the sake of killing. Also I doubt the small number of people left will be able to repopulate an entire planet...
