Hey, I was wondering if to play games on a mac you needed a controller of some sort, because playing it on a keyboard would just feel wierd :S

Would I be able to play it on a new iMac (2.4Ghz 256mb graphics) without it lagging like a biatch?

Any kind of ratings of the game are welcome.

Also, is there a new Halo for mac coming out any time soon?

You can play with a keyboard and mouse just like any other FPS, or you can get a controller, it's up to you.

It should play on that iMac just fine.

The game is identical to it's XBox cousin, aside from a higher multiplayer game player limit and some extra maps.

I don't think Halo 2 is coming to the Mac.

If you ask me, it feels wierd using a console controller, as a computer gamer, I find the keyboard and mouse better.

Halo will run great on the iMac you mention.

No rumors of a new Halo for Mac coming out.

A controller works just fine, but it can be difficult to play competitively because there's no auto-aim feature on the PC like there is on the XBOX. A mouse is really a much better option.
