    Call of Duty, and the expansion United Offensive, I heard Call of Duty 2 is coming this may.
    But the best for me is America's Army!!. I met a few Filipinos playing online.

    Call of Duty and COD: United Offensive are pretty exciting games for the Mac. Call of Duty 2 promises to be even better. I saw a friend play it on his PC and I couldn't help from itching to get my hands on it. Can't wait for the Mac version to come out!

    A nice twist would be No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s way. Also try, Halo, Star Trek: Elite Force II, and Postal 2. The Call of Duty games are also fun.

    And yeah, don't forget to stock up on RAM. 1GB is highly recommended for "smooth" gameplay.

    XIII for mac is also a good shoot em up game. I think they call it cell shaded graphics so ala cartoon ang dating.

    yun ba mga type mo- mga WWII scenario?

    kung modern day warfare, bili ka ng close combat: first to fight. http://www.firsttofight.com/html/ (i tried to search for it sa mga stores pero mukang sa US pa makaka-order.) you will lead a four-man team of marines sa beirut and other sorties.

    bili ka din ng rainbow six para laro tayo! :rolleyes:

    a little old but Battlefield 1942 is one of my faves... there's also Deus Ex, Doom3 (if your hardware can handle it), and Quake 4...

    Except for Doom3, everything else is very much playable (just don't crank up the settings to high) with a 1GHz G4 or higher. I play on my PowerBook... but lately DotA has been eating up half of my day... I'm such a noob! :D

    Incidentally, all the games I listed are 'translated' to Mac by Aspyr.

    I'm now playing the patched Quake 4. It now supports widescreen! For my rig, it's strictly low-res for me.

    I've seen Halo Mac in DataBlitz, if you can't find what you want you can always request for a copy to be brought to the store.
