Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare coming to MAC?!!!!!!

[*DAMN Mauti]

1 week to go Civic ;-)

As soon as you have it please post some gaming experience!

[Civrock]

Finally got a chance to try it and OHMAHGAWD... amazing graphics, amazing performance, amazing physics, everything amazing. Only thing this game is lacking is big maps like in GhR but everything else is pretty much perfect. I especially like the way ranks and rewards work, pretty cool, better than in AA.
As for performance, with everything on the highest settings I'm getting a steady ~90 FPS (limited by the game by default). In situations with a lot of action it drops down to like ~60 which is still smooth as butter. No stuttering or anything, ever. I'm using Vista x64 Ultimate via Boot Camp btw.

I got a 10-man Ventrilo located in NY for personal use that's not being used so if anybody wants to meet up for some games of CoD4 or AA (latest Windows version), lemme know.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Sounds very nice and 64bit Vista was a good decision if you want to use more than 3gigs of RAM on Windows too.

Btw at which resolution do you play?

[Civrock]

Yeah, I got it as soon as I heard that it'd work on the new Mac Pros.

1680x1050

[:V: Crusader]

you play with ur mac on windows servers ?


I dont like the game so much after a while, you get fragged far to often by noobs spawning throwing there 3 nades.... 

the airstrike is nice thing strange is that it comes before the helicopter since its far better (makes easily ~7kills helicopter makes most times 3-5 )

hardcore is the best thing on cod4 and ofcourse the golden desert eagel (my ak isnt golden yet and will propably never be, no idee how to make that much headshots witha stupid shotgun  )


I think it runes good on my intel 2 x 2,16 ghz (on bootcamp windows xp)

couldn't figure out how to see fps there anyway was still nice expirience. if i compare cod4 with Bf2 i prefer the athmosephere from bf2, coz that was just like a real big war with ambushes etc...

cod4 is more a carnage then a tactical schooter (imo...)

Feel free to join our server anytime.

Just got BF2142 and it runs good on my Intel Imac. I will most likely but COD4. Its a shame there isnt a community for mac gamers like this site was. sniff sniff.

[Civrock]

Anybody still here? Some of the original z][t guys including myself finally pretty much switched to CoD4 (seems like AA is old and dead, heh) and we've been playing it a lot. Not really competitively, just casually.

Recommend some good servers, location doesn't matter. Go.

Xfire in my signature.


Oh and vooDoo, seems like both of your clans' websites are dead, including server.

Is the game out yet???  Is it PPC? 10.5?

That game was added to Gameranger this week and there's a bunch of servers to join.  I assume that means Mac users can actually play with the PC users.

Would've been dumb if not. I wonder if my PC serial would work with the Mac version... would save me the trouble of having to boot into Windows every time I want to play some CoD4.

This could be a possible reason for the delay, someone on amazon.com wrote this                 

"jimby says:
Picked up this game (COD4 -Mac) at Fry's yesterday (It was released on 9/15, not 9/30 as described by Amazon).

I have a MacPro stock system that easily meets the system requirements.

After installing the game, on the first attempt to run, I get a "Not Authorized" error screen. Since the game is copy-protected, probably using SecuROM, I suspect the issue is with the copy protection.

Aspyr's website is no help as they still have the game listed as "coming soon." Glad they are paying attention to a shipping product.

So you might want to wait on this purchase until the problems are worked out.


Matthew Flower says:
I contacted Aspyr. Unfortunately Fry's released some disks that they weren't supposed to. If you ship them the disk, they'll replace it for you. Contact their support for details.

One small point for anyone who is going to buy from Aspyr -- they don't seem to really care that much about customer satisfaction. Buyer beware."

[Civrock]

Interesting, not like it's gonna stop the pirates from getting it on the usual sites anyway... just an annoyance for the people who actually buy it.

[.vooDoo.]

Oh and vooDoo, seems like both of your clans' websites are dead, including server.

Fixed....I also added u to my xfire, Ill join on you the next time I see you playing.  See of u got skillz 

[*DAMN Mauti]

All this copy protection stuff is really annoying.

Today Aspyr's http:///www.GameAgent.com started were you also can buy a downloadable version of CoD4, but for the same price as the boxed version. Come on!? A downloadable version should be at least 10 bucks less.

At least CoD4 is finally out and I'm exited about the first Mac reviews.

Bye,

Mauti

I bought the downloadable version today.  The game runs good on my computer and I just barely meet the system requirements.  2.16ghz Intel Core Duo X1600.  I can join all the PC servers right thru Gameranger.  What server do you guys play on?

Heres your 1st screenshots hosting the game thru Gameranger and playing under OSX:

[*DAMN Mauti]

Cool Pun. Can you also host just a GameRanger only game?

[mesa]

Nice Pun.

Here is my clans website http://www.elite-tactical.net/ we are known to have some of the best tactical servers on the net.  servers listed on the bottom right of our home page.  You should also get xfire unless you have it already.  My xfire is mesafff

Later,

[ETS]Mesa

[PUNiSHER™]

Cool Pun. Can you also host just a GameRanger only game?

Yea, do you mean hosting on Gameranger and only Gameranger people can join the room?  Yea you can do that.

I'm playing from a Mac so I can't use xfire and I can't IP join a server which sucks so I don't think I can get on your servers Mesa.
