Call of Duty 4 Coming to Mac!

m3mn0n.blogspot.com — This may not be news to everyone, but I just noticed that Amazon has Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare listed for pre-order. I was wondering how could this be possible, considering it's been out for a little while now. A closer looked revealed that it's actually the Mac version of this game!

  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -44/+162Do Macs have good enough graphics cards to run Cod4? It's a serious question. Also, wouldn't it be better to run on PCs that are clearly better and in some cases, designed for gaming?

    PS- If you like CoD4 as much as i love it, you would've already bought it for your 360/ps3.

  • dubey, on 07/07/2008, -9/+95Call of Duty 5 Coming to PC!
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -30/+97In other news: Windows runs all commercial PC games

    Mac fanboys will rejoice all they want but it's not news for me

    GTA 4 on PC is news for me
  • Justin125, on 07/06/2008, -8/+67Would had been a lot better if you linked to Amazon.
  • manlykitty, on 07/07/2008, -2/+52COD4! But I'm still playing Photoshop CS3
  • peterb518, on 07/07/2008, -7/+45Cool, now mac users can pay twice as much for the game when they can just use boot camp!

    Seriously, the price for mac games is pretty ridiculous. Can someone explain why the price for the original SW: Battlefront is $40 for mac and $10 for windows? Dumb!

  • inetiatic, on 07/06/2008, -6/+41Great news, crappy blog.
  • virtualball, on 07/07/2008, -4/+35Dude, don't be a dick. It's actually "omg omg omg, I just shot someone! I'm going to make an iMovie about it and then upload it to my twitter!"
  • Murrabbit, on 07/07/2008, -14/+44This just in: A big-name game is actually releasing for Mac! Reports say that some of the notoriously over-priced under-performing machines will actually even be able to run it!

    "We've been dreaming of this moment ever since we got a 2nd mouse button" commented a dedicated Mac brand loyalist standing in line outside of Manhattan's flagship Apple store, waiting to buy a G3iPhone set to release sometime this year.
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -7/+33Prepare to be ipwned by the smuggest people online, and you thought xbox live was bad
  • eatrains, on 07/06/2008, -3/+29Aspyr announced this back in January, then they delayed it in June.
  • MonkeyFarts, on 07/07/2008, -2/+27I don't understand. Who buys Media Access Control?
  • m3mn0n, on 07/06/2008, -3/+28I tried. Digg said the URL "didn't exist" so I linked to it in the post.

    Here it is again.

  • bbombassei, on 07/07/2008, -16/+41TF2 is better
  • benologist, on 07/07/2008, -3/+27Two reasons come to mind:
    1) It's new on Mac so you're charged like it's a new game
    2) There's a smaller market to absorb the costs and make a profit from (really a subset of a smaller market since I would think Mac game players would be dual booting already and have the PC version?)
  • BedPost, on 07/07/2008, -4/+27mac wasn't pretentious enough
  • aussieNickuss, on 07/07/2008, -5/+26Same. Come forth GTA4 for PC! What's up with Rockstar's delay between console and PC releases?
  • gmoney1, on 07/07/2008, -3/+23there is right click.
  • KurtangleTN, on 07/07/2008, -6/+25Lol at the guy thinking he can play CoD4 on a Macbook
  • Ex3poo, on 07/07/2008, -2/+21A little late :-/
  • WhoDoneIt, on 07/07/2008, -1/+17Don't Mac users realize that you can't call it a MAC? It's Mac, as in Macintosh. Not MACintosh.
  • Suzuka09, on 07/07/2008, -10/+26are you still stuck in the 90s?
  • HairyGrapeNuts, on 07/07/2008, -3/+18No. He's using a Mac and Boot Camp. He has to reboot into Windows.
  • iamghost, on 07/07/2008, -64/+79People who buy MAC are too busy playing with Steve Job's balls to care.
  • bradd12, on 07/07/2008, -1/+15You know, not all mac users have Boot Camp, or want to pay the money and take up the space to buy and install XP or Vista on their computers. This is a great deal for people, like myself, who own an Apple and want to play it on their computer.
  • Pliep, on 07/07/2008, -9/+23This was news last month on Aspyr's site: http://www.aspyr.com/software/news/88/222
    It has been delayed to Q3.

    I'm sorry, but Mac users should no longer put up with games coming out months and months after the PC version.
  • Barackalypse, on 07/07/2008, -1/+15Someone more popular than you posted it, thats how Digg works.
  • callinthelaw69, on 07/07/2008, -0/+13Would have been a lot better if it came to Mac less than a year after coming to every other system...
  • peestandingup, on 07/07/2008, -5/+17Your blog doesn't exist.
  • iamghost, on 07/07/2008, -4/+16i erased that and i have poor grammar
  • thecwin, on 07/07/2008, -3/+14Fair enough. This news may not be important to you, so just ignore the article. It was fairly obvious from the title that it wouldn't interest you. What exactly do you expect to appear in the "Apple" section of digg?
  • digitalpencil, on 07/07/2008, -1/+12god almighty, what is with you people? all i said was this looks cool and now all you geeks are bitching like 12 yr old girls.. to surmise, i like cod, i don't like having to reboot into windows to play it, so this looks cool.
  • ferrariman60, on 07/07/2008, -2/+13Christ, Dan, you're an idiot.

    I can't tell if this is all ironic, sarcastic kind of stuff, but you seem like a huge moron. First: only douches still use "M$" to say "Microsoft." I can do that too, $ony. Second: You keep making those retarded comments about "360 > POOP > WII > PS TRIPLE", and you refuse to change it. Everyone knows you're saying the 360 is the best, lol, but you don't seem to be catching on. Now, maybe you're not a retard, but you sure seem like one.
  • Shiftgood, on 07/07/2008, -1/+12why is this story such a blabbering idiot magnet?
  • iamghost, on 07/07/2008, -3/+14agreed
  • inetiatic, on 07/07/2008, -8/+19Now if we can convince Valve to port to MAC..
  • inetiatic, on 07/07/2008, -0/+10Nothing is better than a native run game..
  • Nerfdude, on 07/07/2008, -6/+16sure they can, but only after it's been out for almost a year on everything else.
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -6/+16Don't know if you just came out of a time warp, cold storage chamber or what, but Macs have been built using Intel Core2 and Core2 Duo chips for a couple of years now. Their graphics chips/cards are usually pretty weak but some models are upgradeable or decent out of the box. As far as Apple is concerned, as long as the cheapest Nvidia chip can render all the whiz-bang graphical effects in MacOSX, that's good enough for anyone.

    Sorry, didn't mean to criticize Apple for you fanboys, but you've gotta admit, when their designers are sitting around pondering the latest iMac or Macbook Pro, the graphics chip is number 215 on their list of things to deal with.
  • waynechng, on 07/07/2008, -2/+12In other news, "Duke Nukem Forever" coming to Mac too ...
  • sinfony, on 07/07/2008, -1/+11Or, you know, next year.

    (I am aware of the existence of Call of Duty: World at War. We all know it's not really CoD5.)
  • Suzuka09, on 07/07/2008, -1/+10I think its a ciderized port to, so its really a load of bull
  • pirateandy, on 07/07/2008, -3/+12i posted this 23 days ago

    why is this finally getting so many diggs?
  • DeathJux, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8Here is a magic secret for you:

    If it makes the Digg frontpage, you can rest assured that a fair amount of people care. If you still have doubts, simply ask "someone cares?" in the resulting thread and monitor your diggs, as they will tell the tale.
  • CheatRZ, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8They do have the ability to right click, yes. Unfortunately the 'mighty mouse' sucks so much ass, you can't hold a right click and press a left click at the same time (zoom + fire).
  • Chainheart, on 07/07/2008, -1/+9I meant how well.
  • aussieNickuss, on 07/07/2008, -1/+9Is my sarcasometer being accurate?
  • MacParrot, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8Many Mac users have no problem with Microsoft which is why MS still makes MS Office for the Mac. You know, because it's what a lot of Mac users want and will pay for?

    I have XP running through VMware and enjoy HL2 occasionally (along with other Windows-only programs). When I'm done, it's back to OS X which is my preference not my religion
