Welcome! We're always looking for new cannon fod...erm I mean new members.

Add [MA]* in the buddies list to help find us online. Also add it in your tag so we can find you.

Now for the bad news...we havent been very active. We lost some folks to WoW and now a good number of us are playing Gears of War. Never fear tho...UT2007 is just around the corner.

FragUplenty,

nice a 24" imac huh! I have one of those also.. they rock!
I am not part of the [MA] clan but i am a Mac gamer. You can find me wearing the [XMG] tag. (eXtreme Mac Gamers)

I am also very excited about UT2k7!!!!

see you around.

Which will almost certainly require Bootcamp to run and a Mac Pro to be much, if any, fun.

usually getting involved with a clan is really hard but that was really cool of you to just accept me in so thanks.

We are very informal around here. Only rule we have is DBaJ. (Don't be a jerk) What's even better is you don't even need a Mac to join! All are welcome even if you're misguided in your choice of PCs.

Like... um...

Never mind.

I don't think my ol' Blue Bondi would handle '07 too well.

How's the watercooled... Mac coming?

And a 7300GT should run UT07...just without the purdy, good framerates, iffy on the multithreaded rendering, and get ready to go Leopard or cough up another $29 or so for Bootcamp Final on Tiger.

Fixed.

Maybe he'd be better off with Halo?

Everything seems to run fine on my mac Basically I do alot of web design work on it and only really play UT and maybe I will hit up Halo. I was really into games when I had my PC. I played UT, all of the quake series, Guild wars, both Dues ex games, tons of Doom, and even tried my hand at running a doom server online as well as having a website for it for awhile even though it was a freewebs junk website. Also tried my hand at modding a few times but that sorta failed.

Actually I was wondering if it would be possible to make a UT character in like Blender I downloaded it and was tweaking around with it. But thats another topic. I actually downloaded the Halo demo and am impressed by it and as for the guy who said I would be better off with that I was wondering if the mac version has the mod tools because I found the UT2004 for mac doesnt come with the editor.

OK, I am rambling now, Thanks again, Ive been playing under the alias [MA]FragUPlenty and I believe I added Leviathann to my ichat. Or maybe someone with a similiar screen name.

Almost no Mac games have editing tools. Mac devs never found it economically viable... that said, if you run the PC version of a game on an Intel Mac via Bootcamp, it works, because then it's just a Mac running WinXP part-time. (There has been a rumor that if UT2007 does reach OSX, then it would have the editor, but there's been no word on '07 for OSX for some time. Also worth noting, Halo 2 Vista will have integrated editing tools for multiplayer stuff- IIRC essentially Bungie's own Guerilla and Sapien. No ship date for H2V has been announced, despite Vista hitting retail in a week, but it is getting quite a workover besides the editor- graphics, sound etc. are all being sweetened up a lot over the XBox version, and will have online mulitplay via XBox Live Anywhere- Vista PCs will be able to play against others [not against 'Boxes] and also use other XBL services- friends lists, messaging etc... see a Friend playing CoD 3 on 360, invite him to a game. XBLA goes active this summer.

H2V, as the name implies, is Vista-only, to incorporate those services).
