It would be fantastic if after they release it on PC they can get it on Mac as well ... a part of the great success of Blizzards games is that they are all made Mac compatible.

Forum Poll

Should WAR be put on Mac?

Yes.
No - it's a waste of time.
I don't care.

Why So Serious?

To be honest I've never met a WoW Mac player so i really can't see its success being attributed to the mac factor.  BUT the more the merrier if they do introduce it to the Mac it won't be for another year or two kind of like Blizz.   Its just really rare games these days are on Mac & PC....i attribute that to the fact more people have PC's than Mac due to the price.

Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

I used to play wow on a mac, but it ran better if you used boot camp to dual boot the mac with windows.

If you've got a mac with a decent spec, age of conan looks beautiful on it.  Unfortunately WARS graphics are not to my liking, it looks identical, if not slightly better then wow, but its certainly  not next gen.  I expect WAR will do well, but its age of conan for me.  

BTW I'm not a fanboy of either game, just prefer the graphics, features of AOC, its each to their own.

I am running WoW on a Mac natively under OS X. There are quite some other players who does the same thing on my realm.

I would really love to see WAR run natively under OSX, but the thing is that there is only 1-5% chance for it due to advanced costs.

Naturally I will run Warhammer on Bootcamp XP, however it would be a big relief to not make me restart the computer on windows.

Would be cool for the Mac folks to be able to enjoy WAR without running a Windows emulator. There's no plans for Mac support currently, since Mythic doesn't have the expertise need for that. Perhaps they could outsource such a project down the road, but at the moment there's no plans for it. You'll have to live with using something like WINE or a PC.

It would be so much easier to get my friends to play it on their Macs if it were compatible with it - without having to get them to get Windows for Mac ...
