NS2 for Mac users?

Christo Vines

<div class="IPBDescription">^</div>I have windows on my main computer but I would like to play on the run as well. This is hard having a Mac. I think you would get more sales...

Quite honestly I HIGHLY DOUBT AN OVER PRICED POTATO CAN RUN THIS macs are not super high performance and they would have to customize engine makin it more of a pain than a help

Its planned but there is no ETA. Max uses a Mac so it shouldn't be much of an issue once he has time to work on it.

I dunno, it seems like it would be a bigger issue than you would think. They coded all the shaders for the engine with DirectX, which isn't compatibile with macs. Not to mention the performance requirements... macs aren't exactly very beefy... especially in the graphics department, which counts more for ns2 than you would think.

Honestly, I feel that if I can play CTS, TF2, Half life 2, and G-mod....that NS2 cant really be that tough to handle. Sure my frames are not the best on this piece, but I believe in it for the sake of online gaming "On the run!!!"

Parallels will be horrible for gaming.

I had that in the back of my mind...I was hoping I was wrong aha. Still I think I am just going to wait it out and see. For now I will just use my windows while I am home.
