Top 12 War Heroes in Gaming

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 hitting store shelves shortly, it got us thinking about some of our favorite bellicose badasses. Whether for revenge or for thrill of putting lead into evildoers' faceholes, these war vets deserve a salute for being all that they could be. By Gerasimos Manolatos

Marcus Fenix (Gears of War series)

He's not exactly put together proportionally (seriously, he'd totally lose the 'if your hand is bigger than your face, you've got cancer' bet), but that's not something you'd want to hold against him. He's got a gun. A big gun. One with a chainsaw on it. Combine that with the rest of his military arsenal and mortality-defying ability to escape death by simply being helped up off the ground, and you've got one unstoppable soldier.
