I chuckled when Carmine got shot in the head and remarked that it was lucky he wore a helmet. I also laughed when marcus took his do-rag off and revealed his action man style fuzzy head.

Low point(s): Dom. I couldn't face going straight into act 4, I had to turn off and wait till the next day. And not being able to shoot Griffin in the face.
High point: Beating the shit out of the lambent zerker.

Man, I laughed, too!  I just knew Carmine was going to bite the bullet in this one.  I felt pretty bad voting for his death because this Carmine was a trash talking, ass kicker.  It's like Epic got a kick out of toying with us.  There was one part in the beginning where Carmine just barely missed being hit by a car.  Then, he got shot in the head.  And finally, there was a COG with a Carmine voice riding in a helicopter that got shot down.  When that chopper crashed I thought oh well.  Carmine died.  Then I find out it was just some other Carmine-looking soldier.  Every time it happened, I smiled.

That WAS Carmine in the helicopter - you can tell by his "Grub Killer" armor.  HE just survives the crash I think he screams "I'm on fire!!" when they are going down - HAHAHA

There was another helicopter crash before that one.  When Carmine's chopper showed up, Marcus said, "We finally have air support!"--nice throwback to Gears 1.  It reminds me of how Gears 2 goes back to that same conversation when Marcus tells Hoffman "I guess we ARE the support!"
