    What's your point? PC's are better. First of all, they don't cost 1500 DOLLARS just for a desktop system, second, they are WAY more customizable. Also, there are more games for PC then there are for Mac's so just stop boasting about how your Mac is so great with games and such. In fact, you MAC users are just lucky game development companies actually bother to make their games MAC COMPATIBLE.

  • this is windows xp!

  • apples "new" dual boot technology? you can have multiple operating systems installed since the 90's

  • are you facking stiupid ??? FACK HALF LIFE WORK ON INTEL MAC WITHOUT BOOTH CAMP NOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @McMikos Whoah shit man, calm down, and look at the date this video was posted. Steam was put on Mac Spring 2010. This video was posted Spring TWO THOUSAND SIX. =/

  • @QwertyGuy499 yes but you didn't need steam for half life 2 the is a disc version that you didn't need steam so al he had to do was buy that and then there you go you half life 2 on a mac and macs suck their best processer is a quad core and nonmacs have six core and the just suck I am a PC user I will always be PC user until mac hardware can be used on a PC.

  • @McMikos Dumbass, this was uploaded in 2006.

  • haha, it's funny cause i never hear you PC gamers complain about how Macs aren't good gaming machines whenever I'm throwing knives in your face in mw2 and getting nukes in Free For All while you all scream "hack" like a children's choir, not believing that a Mac gamer was capable of such ownage.

    Sometimes I wonder if you all have even played a game on a Mac before, haha. Or are you all just chanting what the last Mac hater said?

    Because mine works perfectly fine. Right click and everything..

    :)

  • @bluefishswims lol coming from the guy playing with people on mac that doesn't have a right click? your mac can make one super gaming rig after you see this horseshit you're like oh i am going to act cool cause this 3.5k mac book can run half life 2 lololol and guess what my 2005 viao laptop for 1.5k can max out half life 2 and 2x better than him so happy birthday you no use retarded cunt i am now half asleep while playing with a mac sever

  • @14lolful ....coming from the guy who thinks macs don't have a right click? case closed. hahahaha.

    ...Yet more evidence of the uneducated PC user who leaves rage comments.

    PS- I never even mentioned HL2, but yeah, now that you mention it, HL2 is another one of the many games I can run smoothly on my mac.

  • @14lolful At least us mac users use punctuation.

  • @bluefishswims You can certainly play many games but try maxing Metro 2033 on a new sub $1000 Mac with tessellation enabled and anti aliasing maxed. The problem with Macs is that the average video cards which they include are not high level cards designed for gaming.

  • Comment removed

  • wait... wouldnt intel imac + boot camp = hl2? therefor intel imac - boot camp = hl2

  • > Complaining about lag

    > Suggesting to use fraps to record

    Oh wow.

  • Yeah!!!!!! Imma spend $2000 on a shiny mac just so it can play a old game like Half Life 2 on low settings and still lag.

  • @rahmanroni This video is from early 2006, shortly after Bootcamp was released. Any Macs released in 2006 onwards were capable of playing this game on full settings with no lag. Not really sure where you're seeing "lag", either. Also not sure where it states the settings are on "low".

  • LOL Mac=FAIL

  • Running Half-life 2 at a high quality is so easy old Intel cards could do it. If you were to record with FRAPS I would have been more impressed.

  • there has been rt click for ages not just the newest

  • Comment removed

  • so how does secondary fire work theres no right click on macs

  • @lostnightfilms There is right click on the newest apple mouses.

  • @lostnightfilms are you dumb of course their is a right click for mac, every mouse that apple gives you has a right click you just can't see a physical difference in the mouse but it's there

  • the graphics are not as good on a mac. why is that?

  • @KrizTuhFer1 i cant see any difference

  • @alonalon777 i dunno guy. but i have the mac pro on panther and the visuals doesnt compare to my PC.

  • steam on mac + hl2 + killing floor + other games = Yay for mac!

  • Half-Life 2 will be retailed on Steam for all OS X operating systems as of tomorrow.

    Happy to say that Mac is being welcomed into gaming.

  • Doesn't look like you can get half life 2 for mac on steam yet...

    So what , is this "boot camp" a bit like how "wine" works with linux?

  • @wootlanter Bootcamp is a program in mac os x that does everything you need to install windows. Like all other apple programs, it is ridiculously easy. You partition and install Windows, allowing you to choose between mac os x and Windows at boot.

  • @wootlanter No, unlike Wine, boot camp literally involved running Windows on the mac in a dual boot setup.

    Now that Macs use Intel CPUs, they are basically a PC with a different OS from what we call "PCs"

  • i play half life 2, wow, battelfield 2142 and cod4 with a mac mini (2 ghz, 2go ram) and there's no problem. You can play games on mac, but i think they are most beautiful on pc (with huge nvida or ati) or ps3/360.

    I aggre with you kaa3164, if you sand on a side, is that just your using a pc, or a mac.

  • @Mochimino im playing return to castle wolfenstein on a mac mini natively in mac os x, and i love this game, not needing games with superior graphics.

    I think, the newer games are overrated and not that deep in terms of graphics, but new games also run really well on a mac!

  • @Blinkwing ho yes, it's not taking about if the newer games are better than the old one or most beautiful :)

    juste as you sau, new games run well on a mac, everything you can do on a pc, you an also do it on a mac.

    btw, wolfenstein is a really good game

  • @Mochimino indeed ;D most of the guys that say, that they "trashed their mac" after getting one are just scammers that dont get enough attention by their parents XD

    they want to start fights

  • If you want to play games, don't buy a mac.

    If you want to make videos, buy a mac.

    That's the only answer to this arguement.

    This fight is just like "my country is better than yours"

    The only reason why you stand on a side is that you are using that side.

    If you do get into theese fights you are an idiot.

  • @kaa3164 I can play games AND make videos on my PC. Sony Vegas is the dogs bollox.

  • since when is dual booting new technology

  • Steam hits Mac in April anywho.

  • Now is that real time or Valve time?

  • It's amazing how many pc users go around insulting mac users. Okay, fine. You suck because you have a whirlpool refrigerator. (I know at least 1 person here has to have one) That's how stupid you sound so shutup and accept the fact that pc isn't the only computer out there.

  • lol dude, you are using pac steam, =D

  • @Spunkyowns you have to know it

  • lol, i also got Mac OS X running on my PC =)

    I don't care about these damn fanboyz xD

  • u can create a best pc with your hands , u only nees a asus rampage II extreme motherboard (:

  • yes, im rich guy I love mac so much.

  • HAHAHA this is a funny concept!

  • packaged optimium hardware, then it would be as good as a Mac. However, Microsoft have not managed to do this, and this has resulted in Apple being the better machine to run more CPU straining software on. This is why many people who use computers for more that just word processing choose to use a Mac. Overall, Apple Mac's are much better, smoother and nicer looking machines than a standard Microsoft computer.

  • Apple hardware and OSX (Leopard) run much faster and smoother than any Windows OS, because the hardware and the software are made for each other and you buy a Mac as a package of hardware and software, where as machines running a Windows OS gennerally can boast an amazing videos card, but it can't be used due to the crappy single layer processer that looked so good on the Dell website. Although i am both a fan of Windows and Apple, if Windows tailored a simpler and smaller OS with a

  • Eh. I'm a strictly PC person, so I wouldn't know. I just know that PC's are much better for games, and that they have a bigger user base than paper thin macs, but that's pretty much all I know about macs. :P

  • you know nothing then

  • Why get a Mac if you want to play games like HL2? :P

    You could get a cheaper and more powerful PC easy.

    I guess if you wanted it to be wafer thin, but still...

  • It's because macs are much faster then a pc. I should know, I own both.

  • That's what one of my friends said. I said prove it. He did.

    He used a 2 year old computer and compared it with a Macbook Pro.

  • Much faster?

    Are you high? Pick the best PC and place it next to the best MAC there is, and you'll see.

  • The best mac is so expensive nobody can do anything with it.

  • @tomoom165 its 30 grand and only professionals use it, the movies u see come from what? MACS

  • they you don't know how or where to buy pcs you probily pic the first one off the shelf/

  • I'm sorry? BUY pcs? Hah, Who would buy overpriced shit-machines that one could just build for less money.

  • I know how to buy a pc easy. All u have to do is go down into a sewer and take a quick look around.

    I'm kidding, but finding a pc is like looking for a robin in the spring time.

  • they have the same hardware .....

  • @Brato86 yeah but 2 years behind

  • @titin200 exactly! and twice the price

  • I miss the old steam interface.

  • I dont, I would like to see the 2003 interface again though.

  • good luck with that! somehow i cant see it

  • like windows?

  • Yeah totally lol. Windows is a piece of shit.

  • I hear ya!

  • lol macs.

  • Comment removed

  • i have a question im buying a mac for christmas, and just asking, do pc games work on boot camp? like if u wanna play...lord of the rings, the can you do all the stuff u need thorugh boot camp just like on a pc?

  • yes

  • Yes, with Boot camp you can install windows and then use your mac as if it was a "PC".

    Instead of Boot Camp, you can also use a software called "Parallels". I'm using that, and I'm running windows within OS X. That's really, cause then you don't need to boot and choose OS. You simply just start up your mac, and then start windows within OS, And close it when u are done.

    A bit slower than boot camp thought, but still a very cool solution.

  • nice, and thx

  • np, best of lucks with it.

  • Parallels doesn't support larger games (ex: HL2). But yes it is good for work programs and smaller lightweight programs.

  • @caseywtw vm ware is a bit better for games, but all emulators suck

  • wats the best pc for gaming?

  • Get a PC whatever you do. Macs are peices of crap that cant handle games

  • This video is proof of that you are wrong.

  • I have a Toshiba laptop for now. But I love gaming and also love drawing and making cartoons and all that photo editing jiz.

    Solution: 1. I'll buy an Alienware when I get a chance. 2. I'll buy a Macbook when I get a chance.

    PC's have the powerful cards for gaming & HD movie watching. Mac have the immense memory to edit photos without the program crashing.

  • My cousin, who is a graphic design, says macs are best for multimedia.

  • macs are awesome. i use it for all my editing

  • mac is wack

  • I'm on a mac, right now, and it really sucks. I agree completely with you. They're toy computers.

  • Huh>? what are you talking about run that little piece of garbage pc on your mac so you can play some Games.

  • Actually, the Apple Mac is the only TRUE computer. WYSIWYG; The desktop IS the motherboard. No Disk Operating System needed, unless you plan on running both platforms. What really sucks is that Steve Jobs was too busy doing blotter acid and scmooking dirt weed back in the 70s while Bill was opening the floodgates of technology with IBMs fickle DOS format which would never fly with the rest of Non-nerd human-kind, so he sandwiched

    a layer of code over it to make it taste like a Big Mac. FUUUUK!

  • @LinuxPython It was built around simplicity and power. Not idiots, you're just an ignorant douche.

  • @LinuxPython i dunno why but i dont believe ya ;D

  • @LinuxPython ur a fag :) im a mac user, and im in all AP classes and own my xp, ur retarted, the mac is just an overall better comp

  • @cater80

    >In AP classes.

    >Misspells retarded.

    Haha, oh wow.

  • @LinuxPython dude.. u think im actually trying to spell on youtube? what fucker has the name linuxpython... ur probably the biggest nerdy ass faggot

  • @LinuxPython DAMN SON YOU RETARTED. nigga juss got told

  • i bought a mac recently and its the greatest thing that could had happen to me

  • lol take the games out, more like just use photoshop :P

  • totally agree

  • That's a silly thing to say. Macs have classically been a royal pain in the ass to get games for.

  • Windows on mac, that's the best thing ever created for mac!

  • you can buy it on steam or at best buy or at game stop

  • Steampowered . com

  • were did u get the game..?

  • on a platform they call steam a search it up on google or you can buy the game on disc in selected stores :D

  • at least we know he has reflect world on look and pause at 0:50 and look at the hand

  • jebus stop the flaming, he only wants to show that he CAN play windows games on his mac and not saying anything bout it being better than a regular pc just stfu both of you nubs!

  • His mac has better specs than my fucking computer.

    Man.

  • wats ur specs?

  • have fun on your cheep computer people mostly buy a mac for movie making/ music making cause its the best computers for it. This guys just a terd and wants to play games on it witch you also can do you fuck.. dont even reply to this cause if i wana play games ill buy one of your cheep ass computers. im running pro right now

  • Have fun learning grammar you ol' fag. It's not like Half-Life 2 was Crysis. >.>

  • u suck

  • lol

  • muito dahora

  • Yeah, my brother has a Mac Book Or something, he says that it got 2 videocards, too bad that it can't run Steam or its games, he would get XP eventually, so we can play TF2 later.

  • try crossover games, it was built for steam and those games, most work at decent speeds also it is cheap

  • And how is this different from anything else?

  • wat is ur steam

  • This is the part where I scream at my game for taking away my robotic gorilla friend of death and destruction.

  • This video has changed my outlook on macs from FAIL to WIN.

    Im still a PC though, and happy to be one.

  • Would this work on my 2005 PowerPC mac?

  • nope.  has to be intel.

  • Is that sound the fans, it sounds rather loud?

  • is it dog behind you

  • Fuckin beautiful

  • wow! that looks great, i have a regular macbook with 2gb ram, would it still be possible to get anywhere near this quality?

  • Stop fighting over mac and pc and go tell your mother you love her. gosh.

  • lol

  • "Oh the Mac looks good, it's high quality parts!" "Oh the Mac is pretty"

    "Oh the Mac is 'fun' to use!"

    If those are the arguments Mac users are going to use, I don't really think they should be arguing in the first place.

    And ones that say "oh the PC crashes all the time" etc. where's your proof?

  • Hehe, true, I can honestly not remember last time my computer crashed

  • true, people who cant really us a pc and make it crash are simply retarded, its not the computers fault lol

  • Woah, look it's a Mac playing games other than minesweeper. Wait.. didn't Windows play better games years ago?

  • I don't see why this is so special. It's cool that a Mac can now dual boot into Windows and play games, but, since the games are still being played in Windows, it's defeating the purpose of using a Mac to begin with.

  • pc is good for games, but not much else, thats why you should get a mac and use bootcamp so that you can use the pc for the only thing its good for

  • oh you mac users are so leet

    just keep telling yourself

  • Most Mac users buy macs for the OS, I prefer OSX over windows xp any day. I also like the actual hardware, its a very elegant looking machine, made of high quality parts.

  • Wtf? The purpose of using a mac is not TO NOT play games, moron.

    And it isn't apple's fault most PC games don't configure their software for OS x, though, more and more PC games are realizing the big market-share they're losing by not having mac-compatible versions of their games, so they're evolving. The 3rd gen spawn of the most purchased PC game in the world certainly has (sims 3).

  • Melanie, I believe you misinterpreted my comment. I said that most Mac users enjoy using Macs because of the operating system. Since Half-Life is being played in Windows in this video, the user is not using the Mac OS. Thus, it defeats the purpose of using the Mac to begin with since the original purpose was to use the Mac OS instead of Windows.

  • You didn't 'say' anything actually. You wrote that playing the game in windows defeats the purpose of using a mac. Only a moron would write such a thing. Ppl don't opt for macs for the "purpose" of gaming on a mac, they choose them for their speed and many many capabilities. Comp games are just one aspect of SOME mac users' usage so hardly defeats the purpose of having a mac. And since BC's release, the ironic fact that Windows runs smoother and faster on a mac has been pretty well established.

  • Okay, let me rephrase it for you. It's ironic that the Mac user has to use Windows to play the game since they most likely bought the Mac to avoid using Windows. I understand that most people don't buy Macs to play games. I agree that Macs can be fast, but Windows machines can be fast, too. I've used slow Macs, and I've used slow Windows machines. It depends on the hardware and software management in the end. I had a 5-year-old PC that I built that would boot to desktop in XP Home in 25 seconds.

  • See, it's that illogical thinking that makes you come off as a moron, and ultimately, fail. People generally don't drop 1000-4000 dollars simply to "avoid Windows." They choose mac because they prefer the OS for all it's features; isight, imovie, ichat, iphoto, garageband, spaces, keynote, time machine, interface aesthetic, lack of viruses, smoother/faster running OS... THOSE, are reasons people decide to buy macs, not simply to "avoid windows." Are you crazy or just stupid?

  • (Part 2 of 2)

    If the person was a huge gamer and just wanted to play PC games, but got mac because it looked nicer, and bragged about how mac is the perfect gaming computer, then needed to install windows with bootcamp to run his/her PC games, THEN it'd be ironic.

  • (Part 2 of 2) Yes, I agree with your "Part 2 of 2." That would be ironic.

  • Melanie, I suppose I'm crazy because I'm still discussing this. I should not have used the phrase "avoid using Windows" to describe why people choose Macs. I know people buy Macs for the OS and software. Since they specifically chose a Mac for that reason, it's ironic that they end up using Windows. It's ironic because they don't get to use the OS they chose. What I'm getting at is, if the user bought the Mac knowing they would be gaming, it's ironic that they don't get to use the Mac OS.

  • But they ARE using the mac OS. And the games run better on macs with OS x.

  • I thought they were running Windows on a Mac to play the game in this video. Whatever the case, if they mainly use the Mac for things not related to games, it was a smart idea to go with the Mac. Like you wrote, if they bought the Mac mainly for gaming, it would be a bad choice on their part.

  • Macs are great computers and they are fun to use, not only that but you feel much more secure. PC's are also very good, but the OS... not so much, i only like XP.

  • recorded with a camera? u gotta be kidding me

  • That is WINDOWS, it's just running on a apple manufactured computer, and has nothing to do with their sucky OS.

    What they don't tell you is apple takes credit for the windows feature, being able to run on any computer, and turns it around saying "We can run anything" (however not even linux), and gives it a fancy name called Boot Camp.

    Besides, it sucks to have to reboot your computer just to play something when on windows you could just double-click

  • yeah that's true noobhaxor147. BTW why any peoples even have some fucking mac :D it's expensive and it's hard to even get hl2 for it.. btw apple is just brainwashing retards with some stupid commercials and talking but they don't actually do anything special. i guess even iphones are really made by some chinese nerds or something xD and apple have just bought all those patents at least some peoples were making some kind of "iphone" many years ago but they just didn't have all that money for it

  • Haa you nerd fag.

  • Yeah you're the one to talk, All you can do is play video games (suck) and record it and post it on the internet. Do me a favor and stay off the internet.

  • Wait, what?

  • arg, non a fan of macs but they do have nice monitors and graphics

  • lmao you guys are a bunch of nerds.... over 65% of computers users USE AND OPERATE a windows pc it's only a matter of time before all the artists and hippies will have let go of mac xDDDD

  • Who's a nerd? And being a nerd's helluva lot better than being a moron. And artists and hippies? What are you, 80? Most people who work in media own macs. And fyi, moron, the number of mac-users is rising while WinPC-users are slowly declining, you dumbfuck.

  • thank you

  • but the number of macs is increasing!

  • i dont have a mac and my graphics are better

  • Mac has a graphics card... that supports hl2?

  • Why would i buy a Mac just so i could put windows on it?

  • PCs are better than Macs
