Nope, you can't. Not natively (Without tools like Boot Camp etc, which all require a Windows license).

It may be ported at some stage though - but it's usually way down the line.

You can get Call of Duty 4 though, Aspyr ported it to Mac. I'm assuming they will also port MW2. It took almost a year to port CoD4.

ok thanks! i guess i'll just play on my ps3 or something :p

It should also be noted that the PC Version of Modern Warfare 2 has been lambasted to hell. Console version recommended.

[Raa]

That's the problem though... Console was recommended and the PC gamers get shafted. Classic chicken & egg symptom.

Damn consoles!

Is your iMac fairly new? Bootcamp it and play it on that side?

[Snakehn]

we can't really tell you unless you post the specs of your iMac, some iMacs are powerful enough to run some games, but you need Windows installed in bootcamp like somebody mentioned here.

[sojumk]

i bought my imac right before the newest one. 2.66gz intel core 2 duo, 4g ram SL and i think gforce m

[Raa]

Yep, you can definately Bootcamp that and play it. (Y)

If the drivers in bootcamp are enough...might have to turn down the settings.

[zulugod]

There's an unofficial port (r4nd0m (portingteam.com)) going around in the wrong places that works great except for multiplayer because of the key activation issue. Solo and co-op no problems. So technically it runs under macos and runs well from all the feedback i've read.

If you want to run Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on your mac you can get a WineSkin Wrapper, CrossOver Games Wrapper, Cider Wrapper.

So you're running a windows game, in a mac OS, on a windows system?

[Dance.]

well, he's getting the job done :p.

[ThehAWKs]

Bojo@ yeah that's what I'm doing just till now I did not even think of it that way. Well I really like using Mac os x and anything I could do to use windows less is a plus for me.

Trance@ I guess I am :)

What kind are you using, and how's the performance? I, too, am thinking of getting it for my PS3 or 360, though.

If you can live without the mouse (I couldn't) get the 360 version. Both the PS3 and PC version are fairly shoddy in comparison. There is a bloody good reason why it was the only version demo'ed pre-release!
