gibsonm Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 CM:BN for iPad = killer app I'm assuming that as CMSF runs smoothly on my iMac 2.66ghz - CMBN will too? If you mean "runs smoothly on my iMac 2.66GHz under BootCamp" you'd be correct. It running "natively" (or not) is NDA land and beyond the realms of comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 IIRC, someone posted here a while back that they had CMSF running fairly well in Win98 Bootcamp on a plain 'ol Macbook, and IIRC this was for the previous generation Macbook, with an NVidia 9400M. Well if they did, they've breached the NDA. so as long as the code is optimized for OSX (which I'm sure it will be if Charles is doing the coding), Never safe to assume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Well if they did, they've breached the NDA. I'm guessing you didn't read what I posted fully -- I said someone reported running CMSF on a Macbook in Win 98 via Bootcamp. AFAIK, this doesn't violate any NDA. After all, if I owned one, I could run CMSF on a Bootcamped Macbook right now and blab all I want about my experiences -- I have no legal obligation to keep my mouth shut. Never safe to assume. Thanks. Point taken. I'll keep this in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely noth wrong with running Windows CM:SF on a Mac via BootCamp (indeed there's a copy on my machine). I blame it on being 0700 on New Year's Day and having just returned from "dinner". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junglist Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Those of you running CMSF using Bootcamp, I'm curious to know what version of Windows you have installed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsefni Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Good news for us Macfellas. Any indications on Mac system requirements? I suspect the old intel Mac minis are doubtful, but what about the newer integrated graphic chips the NV 320M variety? Wow, I just set up a new Mac Mini with a NVIDIA GeForce 320M, and came rushing over to Battlefront for the first time in a long time -- really, since I used to run CM1 on my old G3 laptop way back in the day. I was at first crushed to see that there isn't much of anything current and CM-ish that seems to run on OS X, but then hope sprang anew at the apparently imminent (? or at least not impossibly distant) release of CM:BM for OS X. Assuming I can get an eventual demo to run happily on my Mini, I would then instantly order CM:BM proper. I'm not much of a gamer, but I loved CM1 to death, and played it more than I think I have played any other game before or since! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Of course in the meantime while you are waiting you can run CM:SF for Windows under BootCamp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsefni Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 True ... though I'd have to actually get a copy of Windows to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Currently we have no Mac versions. CM:BN will be the first. We are still trying to figure out the best way we can offer Mac versions of CM:SF and CM:A to people who already have the Windows version. We will hopefully have an answer about this towards the end of January. Steve ------- I purchased PC versions of CM:SF and Marines. I would like to purchase Mac versions of CM:BN and CM:SF and Marines. Any advice / updates?

gibsonm Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well certainly you can buy a Mac version of CM:BN that’s out already (and I have my pre ordered SteelBook to prove it). CM:SF for Mac is still a little way off (no idea how far away) so if you need to run it now buy the bundle (with NATO, UK, etc.) and run it under Windows. If you can wait then do so. Certainly you wont be able to use a Windows version and run it “natively“ on a Mac (i.e. without BootCamp or Parallels or Fusion or something else). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I am in no rush. The ideal setup for my time management is to not have to reboot into 'bootcamp'. More time to relax & play around with CM. With CM:SF for Mac still a little way off I can wait for the entire Mac versions of CM:BN + the SF bundle. Thanks Mark. Buzz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well i don’t think you’ll see a “CM:BN + the SF” bundle just in case that‘s what you meant (or at least not for a long time when its in some bargain bin). There is CM:BN for Mac now. There may / will be a CM:SF product for Mac later. Two products. I suspect you meant that but just being “crystal“ for anyone else read this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 "Two products." You were clear Mark. I may have been unclear. The ease of a Mac only CM :BN & SF game experience is my goal. Thanks, Buzz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
