Now on to the actual review of the game. If anyone has had ever played CoD4 for the console or the PC, you won't see any differences at all, in fact it looks really good. Although I have a beefy computer, I cannot run it at high settings, it's just to laggy, which is interesting since I am able to play CS:S with Crossover Games on High settings and I don't see any lag at all. The same goes for HL:DM and TF2. Step for step every single instance of the game is exactly the same, the controls are a little wacky at first, but you can easily change them or just get use to them. Playing with a mouse is better than playing with the trackpad just incase you wanted to know which is better. Even though I am good with the trackpad, the mouse just destroys the aiming capabilities. If you decide to use a mouse, grab a real 2 button mouse and not the mighty mouse, the right click doesn't always register properly and you end up firing your weapon rather than actually aiming. So overall, the game is definitely worth picking up if you have a mac.
As a final thought, if you are a mac owner, you should buy this game only for the simple fact it will be able to help Aspyr develop more games for the mac, and have them out faster. If we actually get the games, the game developers will have to start developing for the mac, so let's show them there is a market for mac gamers.
On a side note:
If you are a mac owner, pick up Crossover Games, it's only $40 dollars and you can install steam and a multitude games, except crysis, the bottles don't like anti-cheat software it installs and it just fails miserably.
