boy who draged this out of the closet? i got introduced to the hl world throught friends at work that were into cs. i never really got into it, but really enjoyed hl. the dod came and they took off with that. i was soo ready for hl2 and dod:s when it came out. but becasue dod:s is way too demanding on their computers, they are now going to bf2. in fact i got the demo installed and am going to try it out to see if i want to join them.

The physics in CS:S is what sets it apart IMO. Both the ragdol effect for dead bodies and world objects you can shoot around. So much fun shooting a barrel around, or shooting up a PC in the Office map

From what I've heard, it's that very physics engine that is making its transition to Mac so impossible (or at least too hard for Valve to bother with)

From what I could gather, that is not true. The problem is: The code already exists for the Havoc-Engine to be ported to OS X, it's just that the developer firm wants too much money for any Mac publisher could bring up

I didn't know that. I was just repeating what I have heard.

I kind of hope you're wrong, because that is a disgraceful reason to hold back porting such an important game to the Mac.

every time I get over it and move on, someone posts another message about it and I get angry all over again.

Valve is just stubborn! And they aren't very nice to their costomers, there was a big scam with HL2 where if you bought the collectors edition which comes with the expansion pack for HL (when it would be released) and DOD (when it would be released). The whole joke was that if you didn't purchase your version dirrectly from the valve web site and bought it in a retailers store you don't get either. Eventhough you pay the same price if not more and the even on the packaging it says you would get the expansions. I bought my version from a retailer and was so disapointed I've decided to boycot all future Valve games. I just play my old version of HL now, which has nothing to do with valve...It will never come out for Mac and I would even bet on that, so we can all give up the dream. If you wanna play valve games you'll need a PC. It is really enjoyable having a Mac and a "PC".

Well, I haven't played a Valve game since 2000, and it looks like it'll stay that way unless they make a port to the Mac.
