Will it ever be on mac. Its been 4 years since they first said it would be on mac and it still isn't. So where they lying or are they tricking us and making wait forever? It would help if a developer answered this.

    Chance you could point to the blog post or video where they said it would 100% be on OSX?

    No.

    IIRC, they expressed interest in potentially making a MAC port at some point early in development, but they simply didn't have the development time needed to do it and it was dropped. No trickery involved.

    Here is a quote from Max in 2007 -

    We're developing on Windows XP right now, so NS2 definitely won't be Vista only. The supported operating systems will probably be the same as HL2: Windows 2000/XP/ME/98/Vista and Linux for dedicated servers.

    A Mac OS version of the client is totally out of the question though, sorry. It's pretty rare for there to be a business case for porting a million-plus selling title to Mac OS, and it's unlikely NS2 will sell anywhere near that many copies (although that would be great if it did!)
