The state of RTCW online is really FUBAR. I remember the glory days when it first came out and you could always find servers to connect to...no punkbuster, no cheating...just hours of fun through the night. Plus I had an Athlon at the time so didn't have to worry like I do now as a Mac user.
As a Mac gamer I have to worry about having the latest version, which is hardly ever the latest, and because of the numerous updates and punk busting I can hardly connect to decent servers without being rejected.
OH! I got 1.41 but its a beta and theres still servers rejecting me.
