This is a sad time for Mac users. The absence of literally the "BEST" FPS game ever created is not on the Macintosh platform!!!! I'm talking about 'Counter-Strike' of course. I have a G4 400 and am thinking of selling it to buy a PC so I can frag it up with my roommates. This really sucks!!!!! I'm tired of Unreal and Quake and all the stupid MAC games that come 3 months later after the PC version and inflated PRICES; IM TIRED OF WAITING!!!! I'm disappointed on Steve Jobs in not backing game vendors to really revolutionize the Macintosh to be the best gaming machine as he stated in MWSF 2000.
I realize that Macs are not usually known for gaming and that change cannot happen overnite, BUT no counterstrike on the MACS is PISSING ME OFF!!!! Am I the only one who feels this way???

The over 10 000 people who signed the petition to bring Half-Life to the Mac would tend to say no.

I've heard so much about Half-Life being ported to every platform OTHER than the Mac, but that raises a good question: is Counterstrike being ported as well? Does it need to be? Are the PS2 and Dreamcast getting everything to do with Half-Life, or just the game itself?

I can empathise with you, but really only have one thing to say...
You'll be back. They always are...
