Call Of Duty 2: how is the mac version?

I was thinking of buying COD2 for mac, but I hear mac games generally, ehm... suck compared to their windows counterparts. How is the game, can it suport custom resolutions (like 1440x900)? And how is Online Play?
Thanks.

I actually like mac games better, but it depends on preference. It depends on how much the developer works on a Mac version. Here's a review of the macintosh version:
