appleinsider.com — Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the new class-based multiplayer designed around a modified version of id Software's Doom 3 engine and MegaTexture rendering technology, is making its way to Intel-based Macs with a release pencilled in for early December.

I keep asking myself that too. I really would rather support the Mac gaming side, but it's becoming harder to do considering we continually have to wait on ports, then wait on patches to keep playing. There was zero news of this when Quake Wars shipped, so Mac fans had no idea how long to even wait.If gaming companies, including id really want to take Macs seriously, they need to at least communicate with people better about their plans, and try to be better about keeping things in sync.

It has a hell of a learning curve, once you have worked out how to play and some of the 'tricks' to beatinh opponents its a lot more fun.

No competition? wile there may be very few games for the Mac OS, there is by no means no competition. Almost all the Macs that will be able to run this game will be made in the last 2 years (intel macs). So almost all the Macs that can run this game, can run it and all the other games for that matter under windows (boot Camp). And considering that most games (in my experience anyway) run better under windows (xp) then there mac counterpart runs in OS X, a lot of mac users have the option of better performance running this game under windows. There are very few mac gamers, they did buy a mac after all, and those that are gamers run boot camp or have a gaming pc.There is a reason there very few developers making games for the mac, its just not profitable

This is awesome, but this some what limits you to top end iMac, Mac Book pro, or mac pro :-s, which negates, iMac, Mac Book and low end iMac's. Having intel chipsets help, but to really help we need to be able to upgrade our video cards! hear us apple gods, we pray for allowing us gamers to upgrade!

I want a Mac Pro or an iMac, but I hate the idea of losing my gaming PC because there's some games I just don't wanna play on my 360 (TF2, STALKER, Oblivion, etc) and neither the Radeon 1900XT nor the HD 2600 have enough oomph to handle the games like I want.

I agree and disagree, look at consoles, they don't get upgraded, yet they still play well 2 - 4 years down the line. Look at a pc, you have to upgrade it every 6 months, buy new parts just to keep it going. Now I agree for mac's they need to be able to have the capability of running games and yes installing a new card will help. What makes me laugh is my mac book pro is 2 x more powerful than an xbox 360 yet it cant handle gaming like a dedicated console can, I know it has an OS to run, but to me its poor coding and developing in my opinion...
