Aspyr Ships Call of Duty 2 for Macs

Mac gamers now have another reason to spend more time at the screen: Aspyr has shipped Activision‘s Call of Duty 2 for both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macintosh systems.

Call of Duty 2 is an in-the-action shooter game based in World War II and places players in the role of typical soldiers in the conflicts most epic European theater battles. Call of Duty 2 adds more tanks, troops, onscreen explosions, and a much wider scope with bigger battles and a wider range of environments. And, of course, it wouldn’t be an action game without graphics improvements: Aspyr says its new COD2 engine offers stunning visuals and smoother gameplay than ever before. The game also includes a new battle chatter system, so members of your squad can alert you to changing battle conditions, and COD2 supports multiplayer online gaming.

Call of Duty 2 requires Mac OS 10.3.9 or later on a Mac with at least 512 MB of RAM, either a G5 or Intel processor running at 2 GHz or faster, and at least 64 MB of video memory on selected ATI and Nvidia graphics cards. The game is rated T for “Teen” by the ESRB; prices for the Mac version of COD2 should be around $50.

Far more than a sleek-looking desk accessory, the Magic Mouse functions much like a MacBook trackpad.

The FLAC file format is a great way to capture the sonic breadth and power of your sprawling CD collection. If you want your digital tunes to sound just as immersive as they do on the album, FLAC allows tracks to be transcoded in a lossless format. But not all devices are compatible with the FLAC format. Luckily, you’ll be able to convert most FLAC files into other audio formats, including MP3.
