So I was watching some high-round Zombie games on youtube, Xbox/PS3 tend to bug and freeze/restart in th later rounds, experiencing problems such as a huge framerate issue, laggy or missing textures, G-spawns, the game restarting after you had used up the small amount of memory etc. etc. Since I have Bootcamp installed on this Mac, I decided to buy it for mac instead of PC because of the steep price difference. (£30.00 for a 3 year game?!?!?) Which was a terrible mistake. The first thing that comes to mind is that there is no steam support, the game opens in a seperate window. This leads to Friend notifications being oddly placed in the corner of the screen. This can lead to the covering of vital information such as the minimap, ammo -_-. It also means I can't chat to my friends in game. In order to speak with them, I have to exit the damn game. Why? Is it that hard just to reskin the PC version of the game? That was what I was expecting and hoping for. But I digress. The Second thing that you will probably be checking is the Options menu. The first thing that pops out is that there is NO FOV SLIDER. I must have spent 10 minutes looking for it, and when I finally decided that it wasn't there, I was really annoyed. I don't see why companies don't think that having changeable FOV is not a big deal. For me it was Irritating to my eyes, and I had to take short breaks at intervals. Also, the graphics. The texture quality ONLY GOES UP TO 1200 BY 800. EVEN TEAM FORTRESS 2 HAS 2000 BY SOMETHING AND THAT GAME IS SEVEN. YEARS. OLD. Great game by the way. So after that, I decided to play Zombies. My internet was down at the time, and what happened next was probably the single most annoying thing in the game. I COULD NOT PLAY SOLO OFFLINE. WHY?!? What is the point of having a Solo mode if I can't play while I've taken it out? I thought that was the point of a laptop; you can take it with you when you need it. I tried to load up Shangri-La, one of my favourite maps because of it's challenging, yet rewarding nature. But It failed to load THREE TIMES, the game crashing on every one of them! I won't touch on how there are approximately ZERO people to play with, since I am a solo player and I don't play with randoms, as I have had several bad experiences with less experienced players. But since Aspyr was too lazy, they did not put in cross-platform support in. They really shot themselves in the foot here, as 90% of the servers that THEY HAVE BOUGHT ARE NOT BEING USED. I only found one server with players on it, and it wasn't even full. Perhaps 3 on weekdays. In short, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. You'll be better off, with a reasonable sized community still playing the game just buying a cheap console and a second hand Black Ops for it. Avoid this like the plague.
