OK, not a bad idea, but I think the first & urgent need is to have a complete software with promised features integrated and working at decent framerates. Then we can see if it's worth the effort of a conversion.

It will take months to do the conversion.
By the time its done, all the performance issues will be smoothed out and applied to Mac.

Besides, it will be ANOTHER company doing the work, not 1C

Well, where do you start your conversion then ? After patch 20 ? Or 40 ?

Cool idea.

Now we're in very small niche already - but hey, let's do a conversion for 10% of it.

Good luck.

Why not just run a dual boot system?

I'm all for CoD on different platforms but if you think about it, CoD is a niché game on the PC platform which most likely means small sales. Now imagine this niché game on a platform that is roughly 90% smaller than the PC market and you have very little to almost non-existing profitability chances. If other platforms are profitable CoD will probably make it there so hold your thumbs but just don't hold them too hard.

P.S Imagine the price tag on the Mac hardware that is needed to run this game, probably get 2 high-end PC's for the same price. Just saying....

I'd rather see Apple proffer more upgrade paths to cheaper graphics cards than pleading for Mac ports for games. The market isn't there to justify the cost of OSX games.

Same phenomenon that makes Mac viruses rare- small market share is not worth the trouble!

Default Worlds to Conquer!

I´m a Flight SIM FANATIC!, and I have MAC´s at work and at home .... for years I´ve been waiting for a decent WW2 flight SIM to come along, and to my regret .... NO MAC capability!!!!!

I have also been reading a the hustle and arguments about either PLATFORM on other threads and forums....

Goes to show the interest (and maybe envy) there is from one side .... to the other ..... be it ... as you may like to see it!!!!

I agree with FLYING PENCIL ..... as a MAC user ...... THERE´s HUGE POTENTIAL in a under developed market .... especially in the leisure and recreation sector.

13% of something is better than NONE AT ALL!

we NEED games!!!!!!!!! DON´T LET AN OPPORTUNITY GO BY!!!!

( Loved the quote about being surrounded....ROFL! ....must have been CUSTER who said that!!!!!..... lotta foresight .... that one!!!! )

Might consider virtual machine. Probably wont run well though unless you have a really killer machine.
