MW4 Mercs on the Mac
« on: 04 April 2011, 15:50:30 »
I'm tired of looking. I spent awhile looking and have been striking out, granted I'm a bit distracted by work, but I was sure there was a Macintosh version of MW4 Mercs for the Mac. Ironically I have the discs for my PC, but they don't like my Mac.

Bummer.

Now, rumor has it that you can download MW4 Mercs for free. I never really investigated since I had the discs before, but since they are refusing to mount the Mac, does anyone know where I can (or if I can) download MW4 Mercs for my Mac? I really don't want to run it in Boot Camp.

www.mektket.net is really the only place you can get a complete download including patches that I know of...

But good luck w/ running it on a Mac  ;D

You may be able to run the Mektek version using WINE (http://appdb.winehq.org/).

The other option is to run Boot Camp if you have a more recent Mac ( with Intel hardware) and install Windows. Once again, no guarantee the game work.

There is no native Mac version of MW4 , The only native version for the MW series was  MW2

I'd thought about running it in Parallels, but seeing as I've only got 2GB setup forthe VM, I'm not sure that'd be kosher.

Could do. Worst case scenario I up the virtual memory and roll the dice.
