Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Ok, massive 730 Mb download requires DSL and massive install requires 1.9 Gb of disk space, so count on an hour or so just getting this onto your Mac. After that... Well, it doesn't work on an iBook, period. The opening screen is pixelated, and text is improperly drawn -- the effect is kind of like Tomb Raider 2's disappointing display on Mac OS X, in fact. So there are Major Issues, Major, sir. I guess the thing is, the U.S. Army (the real U.S. Army) is a bit preoccupied at the moment, so debugging a halfway decent recruiting tool is not that important, really. At any rate, AFTER the inevitable crash, there was a residual message from Little Snitch on my screen, to the effect that ArmyOps needed to call home for some reason. Pass.

Uh...OF COURSE little snitch detected it trying to connect to the internet IT"S AN INTERNET MULTIPLAYER-ONLY GAME! That is also why it crashed. Because it couldn't contact the internet to get a list of game servers!

And ANY modern FPS won't run well on your old iBook ANYWAYS, so why give this a bad review, simply because you're machine doesn't meet the basic requirements?
