    Woo, I can't wait to play it. Too bad I work 1-6 tonight :(

    Mac users do not need the cd inserted to play.

    The game was a letdown.. It wasn't as detailed as I expected.

    I'm into graphic design, so I will love creating everything. That's why I am buying it.

    What laptop do you have?

    Because I tried plaing it within osx, and it lags horribly once you leave the sea.

    I'm 95% sure that its a driver issue, because the video drivers in osx havn't been updated in a long time. I installed it in bootcamp, but havn't gotten a chance to play it yet, but i'm pretty sure itll run fine.

    So yea, you might wanna bootcamp it.

    Yeah you will definitely want to bootcamp it because like sulkorp said it lags terribly in some places. I fixed the driver issue and it worked pretty good once i fixed that.

    Well... I have the Feb 2008 MBP refresh and I play it strictly in OS X and the game has no lag issues. It runs beautifully. I'm only on the 3rd Generation, the Tribe RTS but it's good so far.
