Planetside Announced

Is it just me, or does this game look like an ultra-gay version of Halo?

Fuck Verant.

Thanks.

last night i was playing q3a under the name "don't vote for the commie liar"

i think that covers about everyone.

just think: it could be worse. That prince is a fucking bitch.

You tree-huggers just need to lay down and accept your fate. Resistance is futile my spotted-owl loving hippies!

More Gore on education:

Gore's college tax credit only applies to tuition and provides no tax credit for expenses such as room and board, which on average cost $4,792 per year. (Digest of Ed Statistics, 1999, 8/29/00) Also, families and students with college loans don't qualify. (LeBuc, Washington Post, 8/24/00)

Gore doesn't mention that $2000 of his proposed college tax credit "would come from an already existing program or that the new tax credit, worth $800, [isn't] refundable. That keeps down the price tag, but means students working their way through college, who have very little taxable income, wouldn't benefit much." (Davis & McKinnon, Wall Street Journal, 8/31/00)

Gore on Education:
Pell Grants Cut Under Clinton-Gore. Maximum funding for Pell Grants to low- and middle-income college students has increased every year since Republicans took control of Congress, and held steady in 1991 and 1992 under President Bush. But during the first two years of Clinton-Gore (1993-94) - when Democrats controlled Congress - Pell Grant awards were cut. (House Education & the Workforce Committee)

GoreÂ’s College Tax Credit Excludes Millions of Students. GoreÂ’s college tax credit plan does little to help the students and families who need help the most - including families with student loans, students with room and board expenses, and students who are working to put themselves through college.

Education Never a Priority for Gore. “[T]hough Gore champions himself as a leader in Congress, only four of the 300 pieces of legislation he introduced in his 16 years in the House and Senate concerned education,” noted the Boston Globe in February. While serving in the Senate, Gore offered an amendment to reduce funds for State grants for mathematics and science education. (S. Amdt. 819, 8/21/85)

Hindering Social Security Reform, National Debt Reduction. GoreÂ’s enormous spending plans would hinder efforts to eliminate the national debt, and he offers no solution to the looming crisis in Social Security - two issues that confront voters in the decades ahead.

Here are your sources regarding Gore and Iran....

October 17 - The New York Times last week exposed a secret deal between Vice President Al Gore and former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin that permitted Russia to sell Iran powerful weapons that could threaten U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf. In a related story this morning, The Washington TimesÂ’ Bill Gertz reports details of another secret arrangement between Gore and Chernomyrdin - this one in which Gore apparently agreed to keep critical details about RussiaÂ’s dangerous nuclear relationship with Iran hidden from the United States Congress.

Gore’s Nuclear Negligence. In a classified 1995 letter, Chernomyrdin gave Gore details concerning Russia’s nuclear dealings with Iran and stated that it was “not to be conveyed to third parties, including the U.S. Congress,” the Washington Times reports. The paper cites Capitol Hill sources who indicate Gore agreed to Chernomyrdin’s request to keep the nuclear secrets hidden from Congress - in possible violation of a national security law “ which requires the Clinton administration to keep congressional oversight committees fully informed of all issues related to nuclear weapons proliferation.”

Secrets Hidden From Congress. Congressional aides confirm that key senators normally briefed on such sensitive security matters were kept in the dark about the details shared by Chernomyrdin - and suggest that such details would have triggered sanctions against Russia had they been known. (Washington Times, 10/17/00)

A Fruitless Deal with Russia. Despite Gore’s deal-cutting with Chernomyrdin, Russia’s dangerous nuclear cooperation with Iran has continued. “A senior State Department official, Robert Einhorn, told a Senate subcommittee hearing earlier this month that Russian nuclear assistance is a ‘persistent problem’ and that Russian companies linked to the government are providing Iran with ‘laser isotope separation technology’ used to enrich uranium for weapons,” the Times notes.

From exporting emergency oil from AmericaÂ’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Europe to undermining AmericaÂ’s ability to keep rogue nations such as Iran in check, Al Gore owes the American people some answers about his handling of national security matters.

““Please assure us . . . the vice president did not, in effect, sign a pledge with Victor Chernomyrdin in 1995 that committed your administration to break U.S. law by dodging sanctions requirements.”

Another game from Verant eh. I wonder where they are going to get customers for this one. Seeing as 90% of the people who play EQ are still playing only becuase their friends are there and swear they will never buy another Verant game. If you guys think Romero had an attitude about Daikatana...just wait till you meet the wonderful folks at Verant Interactive. Their idea of a customer service is a guy that continually insults the players with thinly veiled versions of 'quit yer bitchin.'

I dont care if this game will be the shit because we all know Verant's policy of trying to be the Fourth Reich...

It just looks mega low poly though. In that pic the earth is flat. The hills are stuck on. The buildings, car, and person are just sitting there on it. It looks really cheap and everything looks paper thin. Looks boring like that Delta Force game. Laying out in the hills sniping.

What in that game is going to make me want to play it? Why would I feel inclined to spend anytime doing anything with that game?

So far, I'm not interested.

Do a search on the net, it's public record. I'm not your secretary.
You'll find it.

In response to #125.

Calling people hicks is very ignorant. If you want to go by surveys. Most republicans are college educated, white collar workers, who have families. As a matter of fact, a survey was conducted by either CNN or one of the other major news channels that revealed most people who are voting for Gore have merely graduated high school...and usually are not college bound.

Hey, speaking of Planetside, it seems to have some promising features and gameplay.

if you ignore the similar other 5 games

i can see it now...

"The Shocker" Lincoln vs. "The Tank" Taft

Pain on a presidential level!

well done steve, when we were running ripside.com and published the eclsuive screenshots of quake3, meant for pcgamer, we got someone fired at activsion.

someone will get fired for thiswell done :D

planetside sounds like a intergalactical homosexual lounge band

what the fuck?

haha yeah I saw Larry King...... it was john kasich, simpson, and glenn.

Kasich busted Glenn pretty good regarding budgeting under Clinton/Gore.

i say, vote for Ominous for 2000! we have seen his ftp performance record and it looks consistent and strong. if he gets elected president, we could see more pr0n, anime, music, and movies that will both boost the moral of the people and the aloe vera lubricant industry!

O M I N O U s for 2000 !

Response to #63

At least Bush didn't flunk out of Vanderbilt (law school) and Divinity School. Bush graduated from Yale with a BA in History and he also graduated from Harvard with a MBA. Clinton/Gore try and take credit for:

Welfare Reform
--------------
The Welfare Reform Bill of 1996 was proposed by Republican John Kasich of Ohio, passed in both the House and the Senate, but was later vetoed by Clinton, and Gore supported it. The veto was later overridden.

Balanced Budget
---------------
Clinton/Gore try to take the majority credit for our Balanced Budget. But, John Kasich from Ohio was the chief architect of the plan that eliminated federal deficits and replaced them with surpluses, while at the same time cutting taxes for America's families and spurring investment in our economy.

Clinton/Gore have successfully:
Under the Clinton/Gore administration, according to congressional investigators, the Department of Education has improperly forgiven $73 million in education loans, has placed a half-billion tax dollars in the wrong treasury accounts, and then disbursed the money without leaving an auditable paper trail. They have also issued $150 million in duplicate payments to contractors and grantees in 1999 alone. The ultra-professional accounting firm of Ernst and Young told Congress it was impossible to audit the Department of Education because its records were such a mess. The USDA is now under investigation for the missappropriation of 5 billion dollars. Clinton has given our nuclear
secrets to China; Gore, our military technology to Iran through Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin.

Vote Bush.

This game better be good.

i hope gore does not win.
he is a joke.

I'm holding out for the persistant world war scenario, complete with ground troops, artillery and tank divisions, air force, naval forces, and ICBMs.

Al Gore may have Bon Jovi, but Marilyn Manson endorsed Bush, LOL.

It looks like Verant's attempt at a Tribes game but on a larger scale. Might be fun.

You can look up all the bills online at www.house.gov and www.senate.gov. As for the others you can call up your legislators or look to the press. It's all public record.

Funny site of the day: http://www.bju.edu

BJ U -> HMMMMMmm maybe i should've applied to this university.

But besides that, i can't believe there's a university called "Bob Jones University". Must have really high academic standard :D
