Say i wanted to run a program like spybot or malware bytes. For it to truly work well, i would right click on the program, and click run as administrator. Is it possible to install as administrator?

Yes. To install as administrator, right-click the installer and run as administrator.

I have both systems. Both have great games, but Xbox has the better online. Playstation has much better graphics, more exclusives, but poorer online.

PS3 is great for games that go really deep into their surroundings like the Uncharted, Kingdom Hearts, or Ratchet and Clank series. The PS3 is also better for racing games like NFS or Ridge Racer. As for the online play, this is just from my experience, but dang people just suck. I mean they are terrible. Either they use really cheap tatics, or they are just completely incompetent. I played online once and got 74-2. That was a 1vs3 game. I cannot go into their spawn because there are invincible machine guns with autoaim to prevent spawn killing. I literally hung outside of their spawn, all alone, and just slaughtered them. Not to mention they all have better connection than me half of the time. I don't lag, but they still have a better connection. I'll admit, every once in a while I come across a good player. My overall kdr for that game is 3.0 or so.

Xbox is great for more linear based games like Halo, CoD, etc. Also it's control setup is better for shooting games.

The Star Wars Battlefront 1 community has taken a big hit thanks to Jerk Disney. Not everyone was connected to this site and that means they're gone. Not everyone was able to get GameRanger and Tunngle working, so they're gone. Then there is the Mac community, they're there, but barely.

So, who do we have left?

Okay, it's pretty easy, except for the droidekas. Maybe I shouldn't be playing on hard....

I'll see if I can do it tomorrow. Anime and sleep are calling me  right now.

I don't mind. How about Heroes Assault no force powers?

Aww man. I just came back about a month ago too. This really blows. I have Tunngle working just fine but I'll invest in GameRanger so I can play with people who are not able to play via Tunngle.

Not to go off topic here, but I see the Gamespy server shutdown as a way to practice solo, and to also get some hours on SWBF2.

Yeah, Alpha has a good point. I've been using the down time to practice on the Elite Clan Map and I've improved a nice amount. And when I don't want to practice and/or want to be ranked/easy kills I just hop on SWBF2.

Ugh, it sounds like we need someone inside the system.

Even though GLU and IGN are making us chase our own tails, Gamespy still exists under the umbrella of GLU so wouldn't it be better to find a direct contact to Gamespy instead?

I said if after awhile, you work out the distances by experience. Of course if one was just starting out they would have a hard time. Really all that it comes down to is practice in the end.

Hi. I played online with you today and for someone who says they are rusty is actually pretty good. I remember playing a few rounds with you back before I went offline. Anyways, see you on the vlan and again, welcome to the forums.

It's really just a matter of practice.

Or it's a matter of calculating math (which is almost impossible in-game). A shot velocity for shotgun is 150. The pilot moves at velocity 7 and darktrooper 6 (while not flying). Take into account the distance you are from the person (farther they are, more you aim ahead), as well as the random spread of your gun (darktrooper will inevitably perform better at long range with shotgun, at close range it can go either way).

You don't have to make it like rocket science like that. As long as you have played the game enough (which isn't a lot to figure out how far ahead one would have to aim so the target walks into the shot) it's pretty easy. The nice thing about this game is that you can actually see the bullets and move out of the way just barely (except for the Droideka).

As for taking out a flying Republic Jet, the greatest threat is their EMP Launcher if you are in direct combat with them. If you are not in direct combat with a Jet and you are "sniping" (doesn't have to be with the sniper rifle) it is still a bit difficult because Rep. Jet's are more versatile compared to a DT who's jumps are very predictable and if you are not directly in combat with them you can get them at their zenith since that is when they slow down momentarily. Not to mention after facing enough DT's and using them yourself you get the general feel about their speed and can make better predictions and calculations about how early to fire.

Just how much would this server cost? And how much horsepower would one need to run it?

I got one:

And yes, all of those kills happened exactly at the same time.

I believe if swbf3 is ever going to come out it would be when disney made its star wars movie.

At least they won't have to do a lot of work. All that is needed is some spit and polish. The possibility of SWBF3 is really the only reason I look forward to Disney. In fact, all they really need to do is hire via contract the old developers, release the game, and profit for the next few years.
