my honist opnion.....i think that after they realeased KF on mac, it runed KF for me, as tehy took out the spec MUT's (PF only ETC) for no reason otehr then exploits and level boosting....

however, your palying agnest AI, and hte AI does not give a care if your LEET or a noob...


ANYWAY!!! enought with teh rant!

RO2 most likyl will NOT be supported on mac....i think TWI wants to get the game out as quick as possible to adviod competition with BF3/cod.

it will be supported down the road however (1 to liek 5th patch)

they may realease it with mac/pc support right off the start....but deving for mac is not as well documented as it is for mac....becaue no one has really deved for mac and pc.

kinda liek how the U3 engien has so mutch crap about modding....but the GEM engine used in the game Men of War has no official document...but a lot of users that know how and will tell you if you ask. either taht or change the settign and see waht changed!! thats how i learned GEM engine!

but, mac will be supported! eventually!

I can see Mac users play "My little Pony: How to look really cool sitting at Starbucks". I can't see them play HoS. :p

this...

and yeah they sad they will give it a look, correct me if i am wrong....

and yeah i guess if there will be an realese on mac then it will be late this year (november/dezember) or next year (and thats if ro 2 gets realesed on july/august lets all cross our fingers)

at launch no way, but since ue3 is/will be? on mac then I'm sure it would come at some time. I think its safe to say its more likely to come to mac than console. The more players the better if you ask me :)

install windows

also, not worth the effort. would rather they develop the windows version than waste time on a mac version.

thanks.

Eh, the problem here is with UE3, Epic used some 3'rd party middleware in the engine, which has created a legal problem in making it Mac/Linux compatible apparently, some BS dispute over licensing and whatnot.

They won't say what middleware of from whom, but Epic has been trying to create a workaround for it since UT3 was released back in late 07 (that is to say, they have one single guy working on it, between working on other projects that Epic deem more profitable).

Honestly, i don't know if it'll ever happen, Epic has been promising it to people for years now, and they still haven't pulled it off.

For ut3 it won't come as that game is dead now, but I think that at some time UE3 will become mac compatible if not just because the UDK is working so well.

First off let me start by saying that I love Killing Floor and play it a lot. With that being said I would love to see Red Orchestra 2 Mac OS compatible like Killing Floor

not on release but on they said ue3 is capable and its certainly not out of the question. :D

the only reason why I posted this, is the first one was never ported over. so I was hoping they had plans to port the second one over.

The first one is still in the porting process. We ran into an issue that made it take longer then we had hoped.

The issue with getting RO 2 on macs is the current UE 3 mac build in development is a different engine build then the one we use.

Does that mean its never going to happen or that its just going to take longer?
