Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

There is so much false information here it's kind of funny. To start off with back when halo was a mac game, something around 8-9 years ago it was an RTS, then Bungie changed over to an FPS and with was Windows and Mac, then MS bought Bungie and made Halo as it currently is.
Of course no lie would be complete if you didnt mention that Some of the Marathon series was release on Windows as well, not to mention the Myth series and Oni were also release both on Windows and Mac.

Bootcamp is just a fancy way to say dual boot, it's an application to help you dual(or triple+) boot, it's not that special. You run Vista on your mac by dual booting, Bootcamp just sounds more important.

Moving on to the BIos, who cares if they once used EPROMs or PROMS, no motherboard worth mentioning has in years. Lets degrade the Macs quite a bit because they dont use 5 1/2 floppy disks, see, anyone can mention old hardware. Lets pretend for a moment that Macs were the first to use EFI, moving back into reality they weren't.

Every thread about macs someone always says something about this. It's gettin kinda repetitive.

What the -blam!-? This was even posted on the first page. Nubby McNubnub :(

Slaying noobs since 2007.

That is what technologically inferior groups of people do. They learn a few acronyms and think they are "the guru", but in truth, most of the time don't even know what the acronyms mean.

macs..their over priced, over heated (even with the new intel chips those motherfuc.kers are HOT) and freeze/glitch WAY too often. Their great for artists. PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS..but if you wanna game...then get a freaking windows computer

See, your a mac hater, and don't even know why. Explain to me what is wrong with it, in technical terms, then I will respect your opinion, but until then I will just ignore you.

Just to clear everything up. I have a dell running windows vista for my Halo 2 PC and a regular Macbook with Bootcamp which runs windows natively. Thats the whole point of bootcamp. Virtual PC is what does not run the OS natively. Apple has created drivers for pretty much everything so it runs smoothely on the macbook. But my Regular macbook kills my pc in almost everyway but Graphics. So I could easiley see a macbook pro or even the higher end Imac running halo 2 pc no problem. The great thing about Apple is you have the best of both worlds thats why most people swich because they know with upcoming OS 10.5 they will be able to run any program they want in Mac OS or Windows. Also they are much more reliable then PCs because everything in the Mac operating system is designed for something the mac computer. While certain Pcs are not compatible with certain devices.
