I'm a Mac user too, but fortunately it's not very hard to install Windows on an Intel Mac.

That said, I really do like it when games run in OSX. I'm glad Blizzard's kept that standard at least.

Yeah, you'd think they would want to take Blizzard's approach. With EA's recent commitment to mac gaming (may have been an evil prank) and their desires for Battlefield Hero's to be multi

The sad fact about these things though is that the only decent way to provide Mac gaming is to make the decision from the start to support Mac and PC. They have to generalize the codebase framework to be platform neutral (the way blizzard and id do it) and then the only have to port a thin client over to Mac and PC. The alternative (full Mac ports) are almost always absolute garbage (see aspyr catalog).

Anyways, big missed opportunity. Mac usage in the consumer space (the only count that matters since games are generally frowned upon at work) is gaining bigtime and if EA doesn't start taking it into consideration, they are going to be on the losing end of the prevailing market trends.

@ Macca: It's people like you that have really reduced the value of actually commenting an article...
Mac is a platform, and has playble games. EA is supposed to release all the titles to pc and mac simultaneously, so if it's EA, it's coming to the mac.
Not only is he gonna play the game to his mac, but also more AAA+++ games that are displayed in the site, such as starcraft2, diablo3, spore and more. Comments like "idiot" are only displaying your own idiotic level of thinking.

Not to sound whiny, but if it were in a closed beta and already "out", shouldn't everyone who registered for it (me and a bunch of my friends) already be in it.

.. didn't you get the memo?
This is where EA's involvement comes into play.

Enjoy your summer, kids!

Same for me. I couldn't even download the game for about a month. Now that I have it installed I can't even launch it... Meh. 0 points on the beta.

I've been in the beta since June, but I haven't been able to play it due to it having start up problems.

They need to reevaluate their meaning of "already out." I signed up for the beta when they first took applications and I havent gotten a single email since. And it sounds like the people who actually did get accepted cant even play it.

The two don't even compare. TF2 is a far far far superior game in both style and execution.

I just lost a lot of interest in this game. Sorry, but I don't like the idea of entering an online shooter game for the first time against beta players who have honed their skill for the past 6 months memorizing each map, camping spawn points, and finding which guns are broken in balance.

Isn't this the kind of stuff DICE said they were trying to prevent when they said, "You won't get shot in the head repeatedly by a 15 year old who plays the game 8 hours everyday!" Well, what do they think is going to happen when the game goes public and Joe Gamer gets matched against hardcore beta players who already mastered the game 6 months ago?
