[Official] TF2, Source, + Steam on Mac!

[YM]

its widely known that the tf2 team was greatly involved with l4d. hence the delays in class updates last year.

More to the point: Any member of valve that isn't directly working on portal 2's release or Episode 3's release is a wasted member of valve.

Yes that means I want Episode 3 before the next class pack

Mac owners can even host their own servers and create their own maps, just like Windows users.

 

[The Political Gamer]

But its only confirmed so far for l4d1/2. However, I think tf2/hl2 would not be that hard to migrate over as well.

 

[Freyja]

I want to marry valve

"I have your brain scanned and permanently backed up in case something terrible happens to you... which it's just about to. Don't believe me? Here. I'll put you on.Val-alve! That's you! That's how dumb you sound! You've been wrong about every single thing you've ever done, including this thing. You're not smart. You're not a scientist. You're not a doctor. You're not even a full-time Valve employee. Where did your life go so wrong?"

 

[Leminnes]

Oh, lookie thar, valve. I think we kinda knew this was going to be true, but it's nice to know it officially. My mac friends are freaking out. It's kinda funny to see a group of people so giddy like this.

Now I just wish Source were a more popular engine for third party devs, so this would mean they could easily port all their games over.

Come to think of it, what are the big licensed engines? The only one I can think of is Unreal, which is also cross-platform, and I don't think it's been used much for native Mac ports.

 

[absurdistof]

Furthermore, Mac and Windows players will be part of the same multiplayer universe, sharing servers, lobbies, and so forth. We fully support a heterogeneous mix of servers and clients. The first Mac Steam client will be the new generation currently in beta testing on Windows.”

:O

And um.. Unreal? and... Source? :S

 

[Freyja]

Crytek, Unreal, Source, Unity are the only ones I can think of

 

[Pocket]

I just had a great idea: You know how Macs have those fancy mice that let you scroll left and right and squeeze them but you still can't click M1 while holding M2 and vice-versa? They should map M2 to the squeeze by default and let you use horizontal scrolling to select buildings and disguises. (This is just in TF2 of course.)

I had a better idea: buy a decent mouse with at least two buttons. It's more likely to happen than an apple mouse with the ability to press the left and right mouse button.

 

[Rasputin]

This is good news. A couple of my good friends own macs and I've been pestering them to get TF2 for a good while now.

 

[Terr]

Apple "Mighty Mouse" = Crap. Never found one that didn't eventually lose the ability to scroll.

 

[Spammish]

Ye, I never saw the reason to get one from what I've heard, I decided to get a VX Revolution for my Macbook so I didn't have to use the trackpad and it's a great mouse that I can use on PC and Mac. What are the claimed advantages of the apple mice?
