The game is looking epic but will mac gamers get there hands on it?

If anybody knows the answer please post on this thread.

Thanks for reading!

I doubt it. despite some games being ported to mac, its not a very widely used operating system. last I checked, less than 25 percent of the operating systems used were operating systems from apple.

people who use macs just tend to be very... vocal.

I think you just contradicted yourself.

I wish for Apple that can play Hawken. >(*.*)>
No matter what happens in battle. I will do whatever it take to win the fight. The battle might be diffcult to win but who knows one move can change the game. But one important thing I will like to ask you. How do I control this mecha? <_<

There is a reason 95% of all people use a "PC" rather then a mac. For one there is a thread like this for every program out there. The "can i get it for mac thread" Save yourself a lot of trouble and get a "PC". Sure you want to be different but in this case it does not pay to be different at all. Mac has never been good for anything except being over priced and not compatible with anything at all.

Um not trying to turn this into a flame war but dude, most Mac people are graphics guys/motion designers/artists/film editors etc. REAL creative industry work gets done on Macs. Most people dont give a fuzzy bunny about gaming but some do, and those guys remember the days when they used to game on a PC(like me) and want to have a quality gaming experience. Hence this thread.

Anyway to contribute, I had the same question cause I'm a mac guy and have been drooling over this game and just put Bootcamp on my Mid 2011 MacbookPro over the weekend.

Specs: 2.2GHz quad-core i7, Radeon HD 6750M 1gb ram, 8GB SDRAM.

I have been playing CS:GO in the mean time with graphics cranked. It looks/runs better than on OS X. I am psyched to see how this baby runs on it during beta!

Yes indeed. I work in the film and tv industry and my hackintosh MURDERS most PC's in performance.
I'd rather not BootCamp a Windows drive, but if I have to I will. In Mountain Lion I run the Adobe suite with full GPU processing and also play CS:GO and games like Assassins Creed series with GFX fully maxed out.

Many peoples perceptions these days of Mac operating systems are linked to Mac products.
It's clearly not so anymore, like GangofThrones, I also run a custom built machine. Asus motherboard, a Quad Core i5 3570k processor, some GTX 570's and 16gb Corsair Ram.

BootCamp is the only option for us now, but interestingly: Window7 costs like $250 and Mountain Lion is $20, which might come into play for some people who are building custom machines and don't want to shell out big money for an OS or install a cracked OS (notoriously bad security holes).

If you have money to buy a mac, you should be able to build a decent gaming rig. Plus, there so little mac gamers that it would be a waste of time to port the game to it.

Everyone I know with a mac is a gamer as well.  The issue is that the games on the Mac are so poorly done for the most part that we just use bootcamp to play them.  To be honest a Mac isn't a bad gaming computer at all but MBPs do suffer from heat issues due to the design of them.

I also have a PC with 2 GTX 580s and a 2600k that easily handles anything I throw at it so I don't really feel the need to game on the MBP when at home.  It would definitely be nice to see Hawken make its way to OSX eventually so I don't have to bootcamp into it.

Wait, what? When did this become an argument over why/why not it should be on Mac? Listen, it doesn't matter what platform you use, we should all be able to play awesome games like this weather we are on OSX, Windows, Lennox, etc. And with Apple's booming popularity, it would be worth the port. Besides, if there wasn't many people on mac, this discussion wouldn't come up for every game.

lets not forget that OSX has rather average gpu drivers with no option of updating them unless Apple decides to graciously freshen them with new system update. it's been an issue for years, and it's more and more visible with newer gpus.

I'm happy to see this on mac just because a friend of mine uses a mac.  So cool news to me
When I've launched onto the battlefield, torn my enemies to shreds.  I stride through the field and listen, I see a ping.  I quietly take my time moving into position, it pings.  I see him...but he doesn't see me.  That feeling of making someone feel defenseless in that moment.  It is glorious!
