  • Gotta remember guys this was when steam was mac beta so most games still had bugs.

  • Spending over $1,000 on a computer that lags with TF2.

    God help Skyrim.

  • Hey man, Im getting a Macbook pro In 2 months and Im getting a 13 Inch 2011 model, The specs are 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB shared L3 cache. Do you think I'll be able to run the game at it's highest setting and it'll still run Smoothly?

  • do all macs run with the same ghrapics card?

  • Im getting a macbook in 2 months, And It's works SOOOO much better than my windows 7 piece of shit

  • Yes, a mac for gaming. I have a 06' or 08' (i forget) macbook pro i run all games very smoothly on decent or high quality settings

  • Will it run as smoothly on a Macbook Pro 13 inch?

  • I actually play TF2 on the white unibody macbook and it runs brilliantly

  • TF2 on a Trackpad FTW

  • Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT w/ 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM a good graphic card?

  • @TheTmaster12 No it's pretty old now. If you are looking for something cheap and can run things pretty well get an ati 5570.

  • @reaply Ya but will i be able to still run tf2 smoothly even know its old? btw thanks for the suggestion on what video card i shuld get :D

  • @TheTmaster12 Yeah I play it at max settings on a 1920x1080 resolution. I hope you are playing on pc though :p.

  • Macbook for GAMING!!!

    what has the world come to.

  • I've got a 2011 macbook and get constant framerate hiccups. And when I try to lower the video settings the game wont run at all.

  • @kinggilgamesh76 you need a better graphics card

  • I don't want to get into a computer argument, my my soon to be Mac, can kick all your asses

  • Do you guys know windows 7 is way better the mac

  • I'm soooo glad I'm getting a Macbook this Christmas, I will finally be able to play the other version of TF@ (Because my computer now is old)

  • Does anybody even know this game??

  • i don't get any jigglebones on my macbook pro.

    Can anyone help me????

  • I have been trying to get TF2 to work on my macbook pro, but for some reason the game will not launch, does anyone have any tips. Also my specs are better than the ones listed in this video.

  • @charlieJH401 its some lag with all the most macs now because of a patch i think. it will work soon,

  • @whiner1996 Thanks man, that was totally it!

  • ok it runs ok for a few glitches here and there but my fan goes crazy and i keep getting nervous cuz i think it's bad for the computer... is it?

  • i forgot how cool your videos were. Now you've been sold man. :(

  • LOL if there is a some server like MAC vs PC & ill say

    We are kickin ass!

  • Hey do you know how I can enable my mic on steam cause the there aren't any tablets on the top of the steam page. So no settings and stuff

  • I remember watching this exact video when it came out. Soldier's old MBP videos persuaded me to buy this exact MBP almost 3 years ago now. It's still a great computer!

  • @fullmetalmc It appears you posted sometime summer 2010, which would mean you were referencing the current generation. And I was referring to the current gen. So you are wrong. Even if you were referring to the prev. gen, look at my prev. comment.

  • soldier send me your specs plz?

  • OMG THE MAC CAN RUN TEAM FORTRESS 2 A GAME THAT HAS NO GRAPHICS OMMMEEEEGGGGG

  • Wow it looks really good.And it runs smoothly too.

  • what kind of computer can't run TF2 on highest settings? (:D)

  • @lilleborik most peoples' computers

  • @lilleborik mine -_-

  • this is played in Bootcamp, right? i just tried TF2 in Steam for Mac and it's not nearly as fast as in bootcamp....... :(

    am i missing something?

  • why didnt you use screenflow??

  • jesus christ, macfags suck dick at simple first person shooters.

    stick to your garage band and xbox

  • Why the hell didnt you play as Soldier? xD

  • tf2 is the best.

    now that macs are compatible this is awesome.

  • im worried i have a regular macbook from like 2008 and i want this game SO BADLY am i screwed?

  • reason your team is losing is cuz ure on a mac ^^

  • Hmm. i lay around 300 fps on my PC. Everything at max ofc. my specs are ATI radeon 5670 with 512 mb gdd5, amd athlon II x2 250 dual core at 3.0 ghz, 4gb ram and my screen res at 1360x768 :3 i gave around 450£ for that

  • @Mdschannel Could you send me your graphic card when you buy new one :3

  • least amount of lag I have seen yet with a mac...

    but then again

    mac's aren't made for gaming,

    they are made for professional use with anything but gaming.

  • @IKillLittlegirls

    They're not made for professional use. They're slow and expensive PCs with a mac OS and a fancy case. They're made to make big money from the people who can throw money about to look pretty/join the bandwagon, or provide debts to others who don't and fall for it.

    I was slightly impressed with the iPad, till I realised how little it can do, and how you have to pay for a USB adapter, along with the price tag.

    *Welcomes the wave of denial with open arms* :D

  • @AntiStupidity

    You must have no idea as to what you are talking about, because at my previous/current school, we do all our video editing, image editing, compositing, and character animation on macs. They are wonderful machines, and they did our work very nicely. Im sorry if you believe that I am "in denial", but we only used macs for professional work.

  • @AntiStupidity You're very ignorant, Macs are made in mind for professional use. I agree, alot of apple products can be overpriced but the Macbook Line and the iMacs are great. Especially Graphic Design when you need a color corrected monitor which most PCs will not have straight out of the box. Building your own is kinda of crapshoot too when picking out a color corrected monitor.

  • Im gettin a mac next year

    does TF2 and wow go full screen?

  • remember, the first tie you use tf2 on mac, you lose by default regardless of which map

  • lol the white Macbook is the only thousand dollar computer that cant run TF2

  • @fullmetalmc i have a 2000 dollar computer that cant run tf2 :P

  • @Jukebox36O it better run Crysis also

  • @fullmetalmc never played crysis but it can run Cs:s with 40 fps...

  • @fullmetalmc get your fact straight! the macbook comes with nVidia 320m which is WAY more than enough!

  • @fullmetalmc not newer version =p

  • @fullmetalmc Not at all. In intense battle, I can get a solid 45FPS on the Macbook White. (All Settings on High)

  • @fullmetalmc It can. Deal with it.

  • @theinfinitestar00 not when I made that comment

  • @fullmetalmc "OS X version Leopard 10.5.8, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, 1GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8 or higher, or ATI X1600 or higher, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection"

    Sys reqs for TF2. The macbook @ the time you posted had the 9400m, part of Geforce 9. Obviously it meets the other reqs. It can.

  • @theinfinitestar00 to clarify, this is the MB from 2009. The current gen was released in May of 2010.

  • @fullmetalmc ...it can. my black macbook can for gods sake lol

    black macbooks have 2.4 ghz 2 core prossecers and 2 gbs ram.

    (intel crap graphics)

  • @fullmetalmc it can run it if it is from 2009 or later

  • @fullmetalmc i can play it on highest settings u fag, u dont afford a mac thats all

  • @fullmetalmc mac book pro cant run team fortress ?! not true

  • @fullmetalmc NOT ANYMORE ITS OUTDATED BIOTCH

  • The reason why Mac costs so much more, is because they come with pre-installed software, like: Microsoft Office, Garage Band, Logic 9, iMovie, iChat, etc...

    The hardware is exactly the same. The operating system is the only difference.  I don't understand why there is such a hate for people who game on a mac. what? Do mac user's all of a sudden have no "right" to enjoy themselves? sheesh

  • @AJOPDX "Do mac user's all of a sudden have no "right" to enjoy themselves? sheesh"

    What do you mean all of a sudden? They never had the right to begin with.

  • @AJOPDX not to mention the quality of the build for macbook pro's is far superior to the other cheap pissy battery life laptops out there :)

  • @AJOPDX Unix, what the Mac OS is based on, is a shit storm better than the crap that Microsoft churns out. Gotta love security flaws, poor programming practice and those extra's from Dell nobody wants. The freebies on the Mac are intense.

  • with a white macbook i get 1/2 fps and choppy or no sound. on minium specs. :,(

  • @BananaBean03 nice , i get 70-120 on my pc , on very high specs... :)

  • stfu mac fans learn something about computers and their parts, maybe then you will understand how much a mac sucks compared to a custom built gaming pc for the same value.

  • thing about computers is if you want it to work right you always have to spend a shit load of money

  • It's a laptop, and it's a Mac, playing TF2. Millions of trolls are raging in their basements.

  • does TF2 run on the mac book pro without crossover or anything or do i have to get that stuff? plz help

  • @cheesehead1337 Yeah, it's been ported to the mac. So it will run without any extra programs. Except for Steam. But all TF2 players need that.

  • @madlegoman besides spore, thats really not saying much man, its not like peggle is an intensive game, and the other 2 are likewise

  • One rule for gaming-

    NEVER GAME ON A LAPTOP.

    Nice video though. And remember, KILL THOSE TERRORIST SONS A' BITCHES!!!

  • @DrummerLordProdigy There is nothing wrong with laptop gaming as long as your machine can match the game's requirements.

  • @ DrummerLordProdigy: What the hell is that supposed to mean. This is TF2

  • Uhm, why is gaming on a laptop so bad?

  • @Soulforge00 specs are worse on a higher price. they cut out important components to make it all fit into a small laptop, where as on a desktop computer, btw iMac doesnt count for the ones im speaking of, you have everything with nothing cut out wich makes the performance better. also most laptops will struggle with heat

  • @DrummerLordProdigy why not i can play crysis on my laptop with a pretty good framerate

  • did u use bootcamp in this vid?

  • I'd hope it could play this low quality game...

  • Pretty fucking smooth!

  • should i get 15 in or 13in 2.53ghz on both

  • i have 13 inch for portable, but if you have all the money in the world i suggest the 15" even though both sizes can do the same thing

  • oh i was thinking maybe tf2 and steam was compatible on a mac... haha.. what kind of mouse are u using to play? i've heard that a lot of mouses don't work well with mac's... especially FPS games.

  • @dboyd1089 I've not found a mouse that didn't work very well on Mac, both in Mac OS X and in Windows.

    I myself uses both Razer DeathAdder(no drivers needed in Mac OS X to get high USB poll rate) and mx518.

  • 13,337 views, LOL

  • So what do I need to get to run TF2 on my mac(using bootcamp)?

  • I'm playing on the new 17 inch Macbook Pro with CROSSOVER GAMES. It's quite bad, I had to lower the graphic settings significantly. But, Soldier is playing with Bootcamp, which is so much better. As soon as I get my hands on Windows 7... it'll run smoothly with almost all high settings. I've seen this. Don't use Crossover.

  • @Jungiboy

    How well does it run on a Mac using Windows XP?

  • @carzorthade

    I'm currently still using the Crossover Games app for my 17 inch Macbook Pro. I can run any map, but at medium quality graphics since Crossover only emulates Windows,

    I don't have Windows yet, but I would say XP is better than Vista. I haven't tried out 7 so, I can't say thing about that. It'll run fine for you. :D

  • I use crossover, runs great, just gotta know how to adjust the config files. I use Direct X 8 for a huge performance boost.

    I have a Macbook btw

    2.13 ghz 2GB RAM, Nvidia 9400m

  • Crossover is a pain... but then again I do not want Windows on my Mac so I have to use it.

  • Nice catch on the Scout, bro.

  • does macpro have steam?

  • He installed Windows to play these games.

  • hey i just got an imac desktop and is it good for tf2 i got the 24 inch screen on the guy who sold it says it should be good

  • with imac make sure you get vista or windows 7 through bootcamp cos with vista or 7= 150-200 fps!

  • for a soldier you never check you 6

    must be a reservist

  • just a game only a game

  • how well would it run on 13-inch macbook pro 2.53 ghz 8gb ram geforce 9400m?

  • Well since the new MB's have the 9400 it should be able to run it alright.

    I have a MBP 13 with the 9400 with 4GB of RAM and it works superb!

  • thanks! (also is xp the best option for gaming on bootcamp?)

  • Your welcome.

    Imho, yes. Because its the most stable out of Vista/Windows 7 and the games will actually WORK because they are designed for XP.

    :D

  • Comment removed

  • Well if you have one of the latest macbooks with 4 gigs of ram it might be better to get windows 7 when it comes out. it will take better advantage of the resources your machine might have... For example DX 11 will have cleaner code witch will schedule events to run smoothly run on your machine compared to Windows XP DX 9 witch is not even aware of 4 gigs...

  • Comment removed

  • Dude, this is so pimp. And to think I nearly bought a shitty Dell to run my Steam games.

  • @destructorcreator, please tell me you don't game on a laptop XD.

  • did u use crossover or does it work on regular mac?

  • you have to use Boot Camp

  • macbook pros are good for things other than games, right? like, it's good with both games, and other stuff.

  • yes

  • yes, definitely

    in other words, it's a prortable iMac

    You can use applications such as: Aperture 2, iPhoto, Final Cut Express 4, iMovie and etc.

    basically, if you're into art and gaming... an apple machine is recommended :D

    like me, a satisfied costumer BUT I think the aluminum MacBook Pro that I got has the crappy Nvidia cards...

  • if you want better fps, you shouldnt have all the video settings on high, maybe all on medium, good vid though

  • Damn, I wish I had a lot of money for a mac, because I hate windows. I'm gonna save half my money for now on...

  • You should have showed the fps you were playing at, which I'm guessing is probably at only a low 20 because of the frequent studdering.

  • Do not speak white man !

  • Shut the hell up faggot.

    He's just showing that the Mac can sucessfully run TF2, not that he can play it well.

    Open your eyes son.

  • Thanks for the vid, I can't wait to do this myself!

  • Now it just depends on how much that Macbook Pro cost you.

  • HOLY SHITTIN CHRISTMAS!

  • What OS are you running? Cause if im not mistaken you can now run windows on a mac.

  • he is running windows ohter wise he cant play team fortress 2

  • Actually, you can with crossover.

  • you could run windows on a mac 2 years ago :p

  • LMFAO

    "Hummer of

    macs" xD

  • did he tweak the mac or did he just leave it alone?

  • Hey you Apple experts, do you think this game would run in a 'playable' way om my 2,16 Ghz Intel Core Duo iMac, with 2GB 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM and a ATI Radeon 256MB? Or i'd better save the money of this game for a better mac? :-P

  • WTF is boot camp you guys!?!?

  • It's an application on a Mac that allows you to run Windows.

  • crossoverr

  • you are running this on bootcamp right?

  • Hey SoldierKowsBest, what version of windows are you using? I tried fucking windows vista and I had so many fucking computability issues. When I ran Vista I had my sound cracking and popping every minute or so and the fps would just drop. I spent hours figuring out wtf is up but vista just doesn't seem to work on aluminum macbook pro. I had intel compatibility issues, video drivers issues, sound is fucked up. Vista is such pile of shit.

  • i've heard dumb things from apple fans but what you wrote is just sheer stupidity. You're going to compare your slow laptop to my super computer? Huum. a typical mac fan.

    Look at the specs again dummy

    window is terrible with dual cores and doesn't support 64 bit? what planet are you living in?

    xp x64 came out in 01, a year earlier than os x. xp & vista x64 takes upto 128gb of RAM.

    apple use intergrated sound cards.

    windows pc games looks a lot prettier than ps3&360 dummy.

  • well sounds to me like you an idiot because DDR2 ram isn't 1066mhz. You and mac has always been better at 64bit. Just admit that your lost and stop embarrassing yourself you horny little man. plus that's just my laptop. I doubt you will find a pc laptop that fast and this thin. Now my mac pro has 8 Cores (dual Intel xeon quad core), 16gb of ram, I have dual ATI HD4870, apple screen. Yeah I doubt your pile of shit "super computer" is faster. May be you got a little better video.

  • OK DUMDUM,

    DDR2 goes upto 1200mhz, DDR3 tripple channel goes upto 2000mhz and OC to 2533mhz (Corsair Dominator GT 2000C7)

    mac laptop is thin and pretty, but FAST? NO

    Sager NP9280 laptop has intel i7 965 3.2ghz extreme desktop cpu ,12gb DDR3 1066mhz triple channels, 3x160gb intel SSD in raid 0, GTX 280M. This laptop is faster than any mac pro desktop

    U liar, current mac pro support only a single 4870, no crossfire.

    Intel E8500 @4.22ghz outrun even i7 965extreme unless video encoding (2v8cores)

  • you can have double 4870, it acctually works, at least for me, I am not sure if it is officially supported but it worked. And dude you are an idiot. So, just give up in life and stop posting your comments on the internet. :) Love ya.

  • Anyways, it is funny how people get mad on youtube, that's why you annoy them like I do you, but whatever. I am out

    PS. I think you got like some sort of personal vendetta against Apple. I don't know but your hatred for mac is beyond an unhealthy level man. I saw some of your other hatred comment all over youtube. You got issues man. I think you should have that checked out. I wish you to become a better person, not take things seriously, and get laid. Laid is because I don't think you have.

  • HERE! HERE!

  • what?

  • lulz

  • You know what's ironic? Mac runs Windows better than computers made for Windows.

  • Yeah I know my bootcamped vista runs better then my brother PC xD

  • iono mac. I ran xp it runs sweet but vista has weird sounds cracking and popping issues on my unibody macbook pro.

  • @FunnyGlitcher

    lolno what are u a newfag?

  • I would love to play Valve games on MBP without Bootcamp. I wish the control button was on the corner instead of the fn key. It is really hard to use it properly.

  • is it on windows

  • My imac is better then that...

  • for people with mac pro. heads up.

    GTX 285 is available for mac pro this coming june.

    well, again...you guys need to bootcamp windows...isn't windows great? games, bluray, latest hardware & softwares

  • My bootcamped vista will run better then your PC built for windows... I only use windows for gaming, I use OSX for editing and gaming like cod4 and sims2

  • lmfao my 17inch macbook pro has better hardware than your pile of shit you call a computer (2.8ghz, 8gb ram, 9600GT 512mb + 9400) lawl. you are pathetic.

  • why is your laptop better than my desktop by the way? I built this: Intel E8500 OC to 4.22ghz with Artic Freezer Extreme heat sinker G.Skills 4gb DDR2 1066mhz RAM Asus GTX 295 WD 300gb 10k rpm primary HD 3x1tb WD green storage HD Creative Faltal1ty Pro sound card LG GGW-H20L bluray burner & HD DVD rom drive Antec 650watt PSU Dell 30inch monitor Klipsch 2.1 200watt speakers Logitech G5 gaming mouse. always play latest titles at 2560x1600, enjoy HD bluray movies, work with photoshop CS4
  • better and more ram on a laptop. I could care less about external speakers. Macs have better sounds cards, we acctually have HD sounds quality, unlike yours that's why macs are better for music, we also have better operating system which every artist in the world uses, OSX has better 64bit support, good luck making your vista work with 16 or 32 gb of ram. And OSX has better dual core optimization than windows. Blue ray is honestly useless computer. I got a ps3 for that on my 50inch tv.

  • Sorry, my mac Epeen is bigger.

    To me, you have a gelapi.

    I have the fucking hummer of macs.

    Mac Pro

    2.93 Ghz Quad-Core processors (2 of em)

    32GB ram.

    Nvidia Geforce GT 120 512 mb (4 of em)

    And my monitor is a 60 inch samsung plasma.

    You are all FUCKING PATHETIC.

  • wow okay. go suck a dick?

  • ya...thats all well and good, but when i leave my house..my macbook can come with me, try carrying a tv and tower with you...

  • What virus software do you use? I don't want to install windows and end up having to delete it.

  • Valve needs to start making stuff for Mac. They would have a huge market share.

  • whats the resolution? Nice, also how much did it cost! thanks! are you a veteran, cause if you are i support you, thanks for keeping america safe!!!

  • i have those same specs, but i use crossover. it doesnt work. it runs tf2, but the game closes itself out when i connect to a server. should i give boot camp a try?

  • deff
