They killed him off because he wasn't beefy enough for Gears of War. Cause CliffyB likes 'em real beefy.

I don't quite understand why people like carmine so much...I could definitely see how they could develop him into a worthwhile character, but there's no real substance in GOW 1 that make him worth bringing back.

it's that whole "never taking the mask off" thing. people find mystery in a character like that.

Exactly like Boba Fett, who had like 3 lines in the old movies but people loved him.

Yeah, but Boba Fett also had super bad ass armor, and played a rather large role in the story.

Remember how that Locust can chant something and bring dead Locusts back to life. My bets on this as to why Carmine is back.

No, no, they had Miracle Max make him a chocolate covered pill. The only catch was he couldn't go swimming for at least an hour.

Maybe there's multiple Carmines, an army of thousands of Carmine clones used to fight the Locust horde! Epic!

It's official: Carmine is the new Sergeant Johnson.
Appears to die at every opportunity, yet shows up in the sequel.

I thought the mask was a regular army issue (like a storm trooper!)

I figured carmine was like the storm troopers, lots of them that just die at every possible chance. I found it rather funny in gears one finding bodies of them and seeing them die. o.0
I don't mind them bringing him back, as long as he drops dead again for amusement. ;D

Hey Carmine, is that your neck?... or are you just happy to see me?

Lame.
It's going to be his brother or something. Notice how they made his last name "Carmine", so they can get away with that.
If it's "the" Carmine from Gears 1, lame.

Well at least there won't be any doubting of his race this time around?

Carmine and the locust wearing masks seem to consistently be the most popular. I wouldn't call it Boba Fett syndrome, I'd call it.. that guy could be me syndrome. Faceless heroes models let you be behind the mask.

What if he's a robot sent back in time from the future to save mankind and protect Sarah Connor from the Locust?
That's what my money's on.

Noooooo!!!!! Must I pay an exorbitant (yes, its a real word) amount of money on Ebay to get a toy of the best character in the game? Why is it that Carmine and the Helljumpers from Halo are the coolest looking characters in their respective franchises? Am I alone in that opinion?
