No disappointments!

I first saw Call of Duty 4 Modern Combat being played on a Playstation 3 and was quite impressed. When I saw it was available for my new iMac, I had serious doubts whether it would be worth the money.

This game costs as much as a Playstation 3 game, but I decided to take a gamble and bought it through Amazon. Consoles like the Playstation and xBox are great graphically, because they are dedicated machines. That's all they do. However, I've always preferred gaming on a computer because I believe FPS (first person shooters) feel more natural with the keyboard and mouse controls than with the console's controller. And you can't beat a joystick for driving or flying games/simulations.

Macs in the past were never touted as the greatest gaming machines. But the fact that Apple has switched to Intel processors and that this game is mentioned on their website ([...]) encouraged me to take the plunge.

I've tried using the "Optimal System Settings" and also tried maxing out the settings. I don't see much lag until I try going all the way to 1920 x 1080 resolution. Backing off one notch to 1680 x 1050 does the trick. The game is beautifully done. To my surprise, even the "Optimal" setting looks good and plays well! I'm using a iMac 21.5 inch, 3 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with with the ATI Radeon HD 4670.

Gameplay is fun and plays like a movie. This game is fast and responsive, with no long load times on my machine. Quick in, quick out. I've yet to experience any crashes, freezes or other problems.

Buy this game and support game development like this for the Mac!

Although it took a while for the package to arrive their customer service was sublime and a great help in rushing the order as soon as possible. The product was brand new and in great condition upon arrival. I will definitely buy from them again.

This is a riot!

To start, you need to know that I love first person shooter games. The machine I run this game on, has the horse power to run it beautifully. For those of you Mac fans wondering, yep, the minimum requirements are just that. Minimum. However, on a MacPro sporting twin 2.8GHz Intel Procs, with lots of RAM, (I have 10 GB. The game box indicates a minimum of 1 GB. I am sure 2 GB would be plenty) the game runs like a dream. The recommended System Requirements indicate 2.4GHz and 256 MB of video RAM. This is a good guide line if you want to see all the great graphics, hear everything, and experience the game as it was meant to be experienced. However, don't run away, if you have just the minimum. The game looks awesome in the lower graphical settings as well. And it will play smoothly as well. Without having to chase down power-ups, and crap like that, this game just feels realistic! You learn to save your ammo, by shooting in bursts. Sure, you have a lot of ammo, but during a reload, you better take cover. It takes a moment to slam in another cartridge, and in the heat of battle, it's faster to just switch weapons. Reload after you are a safe distance from all the lead coming at you. Sniper missions, and helicopter missions, are two favorites. Patience pays off in spades during a sniper mission. Pay attention to your computer generated partner during these missions. There is so much more, but, never mind that! Buy the game. It's awesome, just be sure you have the equipment to run it. 5 stars for absolute fun.

This is even more fun online! But be prepared, those folks already there, are ready and willing to take you down! A whole community exists online for this platform. It's awesome, and so much fun!!

Too short!

I was playing this game, imagining the title of my Amazon review( it was going to be something like, "Better than you ever dreamed possible!") when the game suddenly ended and the credits began to roll. I was left in a state of shocked disbelief. Now I am sad. This is far and away the greatest video game I have ever played. It was very immersive and I love being drawn into, not just the excitement on the screen, but the drama of the story (like Halo for example). Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare delivers in spades. But I finished the game in about 5 hours! It's too short. I need more.

Whats the deal?

I see a lot of positive reviews on this game, and it worked well enough on the P.C. version, but it is absolute garbage on my Mac.

Mac Pro
Dual-Core Intel Xeon
2.66 GHz
5GB ram

Maybe I have something set wrong, but I tried various settings, including setting everything to minimum(with 640 X 480 screen resolution). For Most of the game it stutters and is really hard to tell if your shooting or not.

There is one more thing. I forgot when I bought the Mac version about this. I really do not want to sit for 5 min. waiting for the "Movies" to play out, that is what DVD's are for. I buy video games to play, not to watch. This game is riddled with them, so you just sit there, or go get a cup of coffee while they are playing. It is really irritating.

I really liked COD2, and the Mac version is great.
