5.0 out of 5 stars It was worth the wait, October 23, 2008

By	J. Senecal (Florence, AL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I have been playing this game on Windows for almost a year now, and while it would have been nice to see a Mac version sooner, it was definitely worth the wait. My 2 Ghz iMac has just the minimum specs for the game, and it plays smoothly, much better in fact then the Windows version on the same hardware. I can finally use antialiased graphics which makes the game much nicer to play, plus I don't have to reboot my computer to switch to Windows anymore. FYI, you will want to get the patch to version 1.7 from Aspyr's website so that you will have the new maps and be able to play with your friends who are on Windows.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great game but....., October 25, 2008

By	Woodworking Fool (Portsmouth, NH) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My Macbook pro fits within the stated requirements, but the single player mode does not run on it. I get a "quits unexpectedly" message every time, within seconds of launching the app. I contacted ASPYR and spent a lot of time deleting, reinstalling, verifying disk permissions, etc... but it still does not work. The multiplayer works fine (Which leads me to believe that it's not a hardware issue). I tried installing the game on my wife's Macbook Pro. All the specs are identical, but it it runs an older OS 10.4 which is NOT supported according to ASPYR and guess what? It runs! There are a number of glitches, including the fact that as the game starts, the graphics are flipped horizontally and vertically (The top is at the bottom and the left side is on the right). This glitch goes away when I hit "escape" to go back to the main menu, then return to the game. Other than that and some lagging in the video intros, the games runs beautifully, and the frame rate is excellent.

The games is fantastic, the graphics and the environments are stunningly realistic . Modeling and movements of the soldiers are very realistic and contribute greatly to a very immersive experience. The gameplay is intense to say the least. In fact it's often a little too intense for my taste. The situations a so chaotic with foes popping up from everywhere, and bullets and RPG flying all over the place that it's hard to play strategically. You just scramble to keep up with your team and shoot at anything that moves. It's true that there are slower-paced missions also and that with replay and if you have the reflexes of a 14 year olds, this may not be a problem. The mission set is a little short. It only took me about 6 hours to play the entire game. Infinity Ward opted for quality instead of quantity, and given the level of detail, i'm satisfied that I got my $50's worth!

I would highly recommend this game if it weren't for one detail: IT DOES NOT RUN ON MY COMPUTER! Unlike the limitless hardware configurations in the PC world, there are relatively few spec option on the MAC side. Therefore there is no excuse for this - it's just bad testing by ASPYR. I hope that ASPYR is working on a fix, though from previous experience with call of duty, product support is not a strength of theirs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, Questionable Developer Statements, October 10, 2008

By	G. Piper (WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I think the game is fantastic. That said, before it came out I contacted Aspyr to find out if it really was only going to be for Leopard Macs... They said yes, and that I'd have to buy Leopard to run it. I did so. In fact, I had to revamp my HD to two partitions so I could keep my original Tiger disk to run Quark 6.52 for my day job. (Which doesn't run well in Leopard)

After I got the game, I installed it into my freshly installed and updated Leopard partition. Guess what! IT WON'T EVEN LAUNCH. It crashes when I attempt to start it. The multi-player game starts, but the single-player doesn't. I was frustrated to say the least.

Just out of curiosity, I then rebooted into my Tiger partition to see if it would do anything on that OS. Lo and behold, it ran! It runs just fine on my Aluminum iMac C2D 2.8Ghz Tiger machine, with awesome graphics, textures and such bumped up a little from "recommended" and even running in high resolution! I've been playing it for about 2 hours with no problems whatsoever.

If I get to the end of this game with it running perfectly all the way through, maybe I'll bill Aspyr for the cost of the necessary upgrade and time.

It really is a great game though. Although this post is somewhat of a rant, maybe it will be helpful to someone else who only has Tiger (10.4.11) and wants to run it. Ya might give it a try, despite the "minimum" requirements. I haven't played the multi-player game online though -- it may be the limitation to Leopard I haven't experienced yet. I bought it for the single-player game.
