I'd imagine (much) later. Do people game on Mac? -serious question.

I doubt they'd benefit enough in new players by doing this for it to be worth the effort.

You're better off using boot camp and running windows than waiting for mac support. Most of my friend that game on mac just boot camp.


No crew

Nothing is free in life, and unfortunately that is the price one has to pay if you want to game on a Mac computer. Most games are built for Windows and often do not come to Mac OS ever.

I would enjoy a Mac version as well. But with the management change I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

I am not sure does Macs handles this game that well, Eh, I really depends on the version of it and is it a mac-book or an iMac. 

A friend of mines tries playing World of Tanks (With the lowest setting) on a Mac-book Pro and he get around 20-ish fps...

One of my other friend, tried to play Fallout New Vegas (With MODS!!!) in that similar computer and the computer got so hot that is melted the keyboard... 

 

I do admit I used to have somewhat rich friends and tries to do what PC gamers are doing with a Mac... and thus crap happens.

"Is it me, or the forum here feels, more friendlier than said... APB"

Yes, I mainly play APB, I also enjoy Hawken time to time.

macs are not for gaming there for they dont handle games well because of hardware. also i dont think we need the mac cultists invading our turf

Well, I'm not sure that I'd say Macs are 'not for gaming', it's more like Apple seems to be hostile toward games on Mac OS.

 

Besides Apple choosing GPU's that are not that good for games, the OS itself doesn't have all that good of an OpenGL implementation for gaming.

 

Housemate is a contributor over at Hard Light Productions, and Apple is a near constant pain for them due to Apple's broken OpenGL implementation.

 

As for the other part, I run a hackintosh as my daily driver, the windows machine is for games and video editing as it's a more powerful machine.  Does this make me a cult member?  :tongue:
