Straight away with Mac, 100% nope!

Maybe with VirtualPC on a >=Dual G4/1GHz or with RealPC if it will be released ever!?

What about other "better" games like SOF2, Q3, MOH, UT2K3, etc? There are Mac versions of them out there and they are great too!

CS is SOOOOOO old

And yet still SOOOOOO popular.

Starcraft is 5 years old as well, and yet thousands of people are playing at any given moment still. Age does not make a game bad, remember that.

But no, Half-life and anything based on it (which CS is) does not work on the Mac. Stupid, stupid Sierra...

Didn't Sierra port Half-Life but they stopped just before it was finished? Very annoying.

Yes. It was stopped since it would not be compatible with the PC version, and without that community the game would never sell...face it, the game sucks compared to what's out there today...

I mean Doom 2 is really old (1994? 1995?) yet www.doomworld.com still has people making levels with editors and what not. I mean I still make levels!

CS simply sucks compared to most nowadays network or single playerd 3rd person shooters... It was good 2 years ago... Now? Nah! Most people play that old 3rd person shooter because they cannot afford to upgrade their systems (or even worst buy new ones) in order to play smoothly the current crop of 3rd person shooters!

HL and/or CS are SOOOOO old and Half Life 2 is around the corner and I hope that it will be released for Macs too!

Give me Quake 4, Doom 3, Half Life 2, etc. with my 5.1 Sound System and Dual G5/2GHz and you people can enjoy as much as you think you enjoy your CS

Personally, I believe HL2 will be the demise of CS.
Right now it survives only because of the community still playing it. This will be cut in half once HL2 is out. One half will buy the new game, one half will swear by the old one.

Once the community gets smaller more players will look for alternatives...
