I'm eager to play this game on my Mac but I'm not sure whether it is compatible; not really getting a clear answer when I search the web. Can someone give a clear answer please? <3

At the moment, Hawken is Windows-only and is not being developed for other platforms.

Bootcamp works, if that's an option.

No, the full release is slated to have multiple platforms via streaming gaming, but that likely isn't going to happen for a very long while. There are no plans announced for a native Mac client.

That article was published in May. A lot can change in seven months.

People have gotten Hawken to work just fine in Bootcamp.

You chose a wrong platform for gaming -_-

It's not even finished for Windows. It's too early to be talking ports.

Because Macs are intended for the technologically illiterate plebs who are willing to pay triple the price for two year old hardware, and focus more on fads than actual hard numbers? It's also a fuzzy bunny OS, that got rid of most of the best parts of UNIX in favor of a Fisher-Price interface that won't scare grandma.

They are planning to make it compatible with a streaming gaming service (at last update on the subject) meaning it should be playable on any platform with a client for that service. Again, no native Mac client planned.

I've heard it works quite well through WINE. Though I'm not sure if there's a mac version, just a linux version (which is free and the easiest thing to use if you know how to type "sudo apt-get install <program>" in the command line).

Hey, macs are about the same price if you ordered all the parts separately. It's just that the screen costs $1000.

As a system-builder? Entirely untrue. For the same (low) spec parts, even knocking a full (undeserved) thousand off for the screen, you'd still be looking at a lower price buying RETAIL than Apple charges for their substandard gear.

Smells like OS holy war in here. None of this changes the fact that Hawken is being developed for Windows only at the moment, so there isn't a Mac port available.

Bootcamp definately  works.  Been trying to use a wine wrapper app like PlayOnMac (free) but no luck so far. I'll post something if I manage to figure it out.
