Halo for Mac
Likely asked a thousand times, but is Halo Mac available anywhere for a normal asking price? It seems ridiculous no one would put it up on the App Store or Steam. The demand is there. Does anyone know of anywhere to get it?

[quote] I actually saw a guy trying to play Halo on a Mac one time. He couldn't get past 20 fps on medium graphics at half of his screen resolution.[/quote] Admittedly, some Macs have this problem, their processing speed to too slow to cope with a 10 year old game. Just to equalise the argument and both sides of opinion on mac gaming, I am running the Halo CE demo on my mac fine, with high detail models enabled, shaders on, and in full resolution. Macs were never really designed to play games [i]well[/i], they can however sometimes run games okay. Bear in mind that my MBP is the 13" and from 2010.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DHTH777 Not sure if this is possible for you, but if you have a mall with an apple store you can find one for $20 I believe.[/quote] Like an above poster said, Halo for Mac has been out of print for years now. As it was built for PowerPC systems, it probably hasn't been sold brand new since at least 2007. I'm not even sure if Apple Stores sell games; if they do, it's very, very few.

Nope. Halo Mac is out of print and thus is extremely rare which is why the price is so ridiculously high. I have a Macbook (for Uni and Music/photo/Video editing) but if I were you, use bootcamp for Windows and run Halo PC. It's a cheaper option if you already have a copy and Windows installed. Otherwise, stick with Halo PC on your PC like I do. Just my 2 cents. -
