Just got an e-mail from Aspyr announcing Call of Duty: Black Ops for Mac coming "this Fall" (I assume the silly colonials mean Autumn). Is this new news, or am I just so out of the loop I'm in danger of dropping into Andromeda's gravity well?

This is great news! I loved it when medal of honour games came to mac all those years ago - good to see Aspyr continue with these.

Though I wonder if they'll cripple it like they did company of heroes and just give us single player for full price...

The announcement makes clear that multiplayer, including zombie coop goodness will be included.

I was very happy to read about this elsewhere today. Great news!

I can't wait for Fall now, or Autumn as some far away folks would say. ;-)

This is new news and I found "silly colonials" very humorous. :D I'm excited but COD 4 is probably much better in comparison.
 
I kind of dislike how they are a little behind. I would have loved to be playing a "native" version of Black Ops when it came out. I'd also like to be playing MW2, but they haven't made a native port. All in all, I was playing black ops on my mac last year, but I guess I'll just have to wait for the natives to come out, only to pay double what the game is worth at the time. I'd rather just continue playing it through wineskin.
 
Call of Duty 2 looks very good and the graphics are really good and really realistic 3D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wp774bUvV4&hd=1

It funny that Call of Duty 2 came out in 2006 and the graphics are much better and realistic 3D than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas http://www.gta-sanandreas.com/screenshots/images/screen_240.jpg , http://img-games.lisisoft.com/img/4/0/4023-3-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-trailer.jpg

GTA:SA was an open world game though which is much more demanding than a fairly linear military game. I worked at Rockstar North on San Andreas and the PS2 version was created first, the game was then ported over to Xbox and PC. I assume COD:2 was developed as a PC game and not just a port from a console game.
