Is there any chance the either the army will make a Mac OS X version of their game, or somebody like Aspyr port it to Mac?

why would you want to play that game on a Mac ?

(sometimes I think it's good that not all pc games make it to the Mac

More importantly, why would the Army want to recruit a bunch of non-conformist Mac users?

And more important. Should our tax dollars go to porting the game to Macs? Let's spend it on something usefull instead.

I was in a recruiting station recently and saw a current issue of the recruiters' magazine with a full, front-page cover showing the game's release. the monitor and keyboard in the shot--apple cinema display and pro keyboard. heck, it might not be out for Mac, but that didn't stop the magazine folks.

Think I read that the cost to develope that game was around 10 million bucks. Hard to believe they couldn't fit in a Mac version. Oh well.

The response from one of the developers on their forums was that the userbase was too small to justify the porting effort.
