Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
I don't see a thread about this, but is anyone playing this in Mac OS? How does it run? Is it worth getting?
What is the difference between Vista and OSX?

Re: Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
I was pretty impressed by it. I loved the first C&C, and this iteration of it does a decent job at getting out of my main complaint, but not totally:
It gets dam repetitive.
I get really frustrated at how many times you have to start a base from complete scratch, fend off attacks, gather resources, and build an army. I know that's at least partially the point of the game but I get really bored of spending the start of every mission doing the same thing. There's variety, but not enough.
It runs just fine on medium settings on my MBP.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Re: Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
Is this the first C&C that was released that is mac compatible? I looked around a little, but couldn't find anything else, thought some might know on here. Thanks.

The original C&C ran on the mac. It was joyous.
