I love call of duty 2, great game but pretty short. I also wish it uses physics engine instead of heavy scripting.

BTW if you want better call of duty 2 icon, here

It may look nice on an iMac but it plays better on my 7800GT + Opteron 175 rig.

Are you suggesting that it looks any better on a Mac than it would on a PC? Because that's simply ... :-|

I agree. The new Intel chips are really boosting the gaming potential of macs. Now all we need is a Mac Pro with SLI capability...

You should try it out in HD on a 360. . . 1080i is a beautiful thing. . . not to mention true surround sound.

Wow...I downloaded the demo for my MacBook and I found it bery playable. But today, I had my brother-in-law download it for his MacBook Pro, 17". OMG!!! We turned the resoluiton all the way up and it was still smooth as can be.

Anyone know how the multiplayer is? I'm eager to get the full version so he and I can get online (like we used to in CS) but his wife's giving him static over the $50.

The original Call of Duty was a great game, mainly for the multiplayer, and COD2 is the same way. However, there are much better FPSs out there, but most of them are PC-only.


Time for BootCamp!
