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

[zombiejoe]

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

*Locusts hold up lighters* EPIC

I'm actually going to go against the crowd and predict that one of the characters that won't die will be the new Carmine. Rather than having him die again, I believe he will instead take a level in badass [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TookALevelInBadass] for no reason. The new Carmine will be an unstoppable force driving through the battlefield like a living tank. He will not speak often, and instead convey his concentrated power simply by saving your squads collective ass on numerous occasions. Then in the inevitable final scene where everyone is running for their life, he will be the one that ultimately save you, or at least one of the squad members. Probably Baird, or Dom since he was an ass that made jokes about the first Carmine dying right in front of Benjamin.

On the other hand I think Anya will definitely catch a bullet with her skull. And then a single tear will far from Marcus's stone face, and then he will immediately go back to screaming as he chops through Locust hordes.

and then Carmine has to eat his own brother.

it will probably be Anya so then we can sit around and listen to Marcus complain about his dead girlfriend instead of Dom

 

[robotic reaper]

But the sub-plot will revolve around Marcus finding his dad. so he whines about it they go out of they're way to find him he'll die Marcus gets pissed and so on and so on.

 

[robotic reaper]

the entire game should be converted into a musical with quick time events for the dance numbers

 

[SargeGO]

I am going with Baird or Cole(even though he is awsome), Dom, and/or Dizzy(the 2nd book proved he survived).

 

[SargeGO]

I forget, one of the 2 Carmines will die

 

[Mr.Valdor]

They'll just add another Carmine brother to slaughter in some creative way.

 

[Christian Rojas]

Word, I honestly think Marcus will die heres why, Ok so theres not much you can tell from this one trailer its to early but from the looks of it Marcus sees Doms depression and how hard he is beating himself up if there is an ending where one of the COG main characters have to die it would not be dom because Marcus would not allow him to just die like that after saving him a lot sure Dom would be like ok let me die to save the world my life is a pointless but I gaurantee Marcus wouldnt allow Dom to just die like that after they are all brothers to the end therefore Marcus would gladly give his life/

Honestly I love gears, the story and the questions it left for you to think on leading to this one was awesome. Im hoping you finally find out about marcus dad etc. But as much as I love it something this good shouldnt be put to chance to be ruined. Im glad they are ending itafter this as much as I hate to say it because its such an awesome trilogy but I feel this is the best place to lay gears to rest on a good strong note. As far as who i want to die.

Save carmine for one because he looks like a beast.

Baird has to die. No one with his attitude ever lives lol

Dom because he caused me so many deaths in campaign on insane it GOW2. (Also because him dieing in the end saving everyone would be a good way to put his charcter down)

Anya only because it would fuel marcus to become Mr Insano

An Im sure we have all heard that Hoffmon dies (Who really cares)

Keep Marcus, Cole and Carmine alive. You cant kill cole. He is a fan favorite

 

[SonOfStayPuft]

I think if anyone will die, they may kill off someone like Samantha Byrne or Jayson Stratton.

Cliff has said himself he wants Clay to die, but I think he'll live.
If he does die, he has to go in a better way than Anthony and Benjamin.
I was thinking maybe he could sacrifice himself by pushing a Lambent Berserker into a path of a Hammer of Dawn blast taking himself out too.

 

[BoxCutter]

My money is on Marcus or Anya, better not be Carmine.

 

[Nicholas Cavallaro]

I think Clay Carmine will die in another completely retarded way just like Anthony and Ben, but maybe not as early in the game. Hoffman will probably die by the hands of the queen mid way through the game.If Dizzy is in the game he probably die but I have no idea how.Cole "Train" will probably die fighting like fifty Locust while the others escape. Baird will die in some selfless act of sacrificing himself, because it is so out of his nature.Anya will probably get shot during a battle towards the end and die in Marcus's arms.Marcus and Dom will last to the end.I think they'll manage to kill the queen then go into a massive battle alongside the remaining COG soldiers against the Locusts and Lambent. Eventually only Dom and Marcus will be left,after this Dom will be shot down.And with a cry of horror over Dom's death Marcus will charge into the horde shooting hundreds of rounds.After a few second Marcus will be shot in the chest a few times and then he'll get up and start shooting only to get shot again meeting his demise.The Locust will then be defeated by the Lambent and the end.

ONE MORE THING THE GAME HAST TO END IN A SAD WAY I'M SICK OF HAPPY ENDINGS THEY RUIN GAMES AND LOOK AT THE COGS SITUATION THERE'S NO WINNING.

 

[L4Y Duke]

Well, considering they've said in a recent interview that Carmine will live (although CliffyB's not happy about it.), I'm going with Hoffman.

Which is a shame.

I like his hat.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Everyone needs to die for the good of the series. Why do I say this? 2 Reasons:

1. A happy ending does not suit this game, Gears 2 had a kind of "neutral" ending, the Gears achieved their goal, but at a high cost. This is going to be the last game in the series to tell the Marcus Fenix/Dom Santiago story. The series is generally dark and grimy and manly, yes very very manly, big men do not have happy endings.

2. Everyone dying prevents more from being made. Don't get me wrong I am one of the biggest Gears fans on the planet, but creating more than 3 in a TRILOGY can often ruin a series - this game was always planned in as a trilogy, as much as I love it I don't want to see it turned into a halo...

Also Carmine should die, I don't understand all this "Save Carmine" business, what kind of pussy wants to see him live anyway?

 

[Nicholas Cavallaro]

If a character had to survive it would have to be Dom or Marcus but one will die a for cole baird carmine and hoffman they'll die. anya will catch a bullet and die in marcuses hands

 

[KingOfBling55]

i think cole just cause all dat mad stuff he does might catch up with him. and my favourite is baird.... marcus wont i think,too central to the plot, dom i really dont no.... anya.... again too central she kept delta going like. but really a s long as baird lives im happy

 

[Peabob]

Gears of War 3 will have chacaters??

 

[Robyrt]

Gears of War features rampant misogyny, absurd plotting, and generally panders to the worst instincts of humanity.

This is why Anya is going to die in Marcus' arms in the last cutscene, and Baird is going to live. (Optionally, Cole could also die, because he has a trace of a personality.)

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

If the characters were going to die, it would likely be in this order of likelyhood:

Carmine - kid can't catch a break. Some locust is almost certainly loading the bullet that kills him into a magazine as we speak. If you want to win the war, just draw the Locust into traps by placing Carmine on the field somewhere.

Baird/Cole - equal chance. They have never been playable characters before and generally acted as comic relief. In either case, the death would almost certainly be a "You go, I'll cover you" moment. Baird is the most likely candidate as it would represent the greatest character turn. Alternately, one is killed saving the other in which case Cole would be the most likely candidate.

Dom - the man has nothing to lose. Fighting a war for the species is only personal if you have some sort of connection to the group. Almost all his comrades are dead. His wife is dead. Every patch of ground he ever defended has been lost. If ever there is a suicide mission that has to be done at any cost, Dom is probably your man.

Marcus - the hero of the series. The man may die but he won't do so until moments before the credits roll and even then he will only die if it means saving the species or saving the girl.

Anya - the only girl in the series. She, in a way, represents what the others are fighting to defend. That she is thrust into battle in the darkest time of the most desperate war in human history is little more than a metaphor. The cities have been burned. The soldiers have been exhausted. The conscripts have dwindled. The prisons have been emptied and tossed into the path of the locust. The only thing left to give is the innocent. If anyone is going to survive, it is going to be Anya, because if there is one trope as old as writing it is that women represent hope itself in a narrative.
