  • poor palm trees. stop hitting them. D;. >.> :3 i wish my MMO game had quality that good O_O it's all blocky and stuff.. e.e (even on highest, to prevent lag :P)

  • you should show off minecraft

    every body says its terrible for it but there dreat

  • @hkthemoonman you are absolutely wrong, i have minecraft, i play it online and offline, at FULL resolution, it runs great!!

  • can't wait to get a mac :)

  • Wow, i'm impressed!

  • i have both machines, mbp and pc desktop... and i like them both!!! my pc for games and other windows fave apps and macs as my mobile workhorse for creative stuff :)

  • @bleedinggums66 great setup!

  • okay but will it blend?

  • will upgrading my 4gb ram to 8gb in my macbook pro improves my gaming performance? Coz i played assasins creed 2 on it and it sucks. My mac has nvidia geforce 9400m with 256mb of dedicated memory. 2.53 ghz intel 2 core duo. Any advices people!?

  • @93badfingers try to use a program called GameGain for mac os x.

    it changes a bunch of shit that you won't know about because mac users don't need to know about that shit.

    essentially it makes it wayyy faster, on just the trial version. or you can pirate the pro version.

  • @93badfingers dont bother just sell your mac and get the new one with the i5 processor

  • @deathhunter5546 lmao sure your at yale and you have NO idea about how much better pc's are

  • @deathhunter5546

    i have both also and i completely agree with you (even though i'm getting my new macbook pro 15'' core i7 quad core 2.0 GHz with 128 GB of SSD drive i still won't use it so much for gaming)! i have a custum build pc right here and that's way better for gaming but mac just pwns at all of the rest i have to say that as well!

  • @deathhunter5546 most of the pc users are mostly gamers thats why they diss macs. But yes for video makeing and stuff i agree mac is better at those subjects.

  • @DRIZZAT1 what is video makeing? also apple mac's aren't better at editing as the best editing software is adobe after effects which is used by actual film makers and you can use that on a pc and it's a lot cheaper than final cut pro. Also most pc users aren't gamers

  • @mwjk13 wow you dont kno how to create a video? JK im not implying that Mac/Apples are better at editing they just tend to be better at those subjecs. and no im not implying that all pc users are gamers no but "Most" of the people that I've talked to/Seen use their pc for this perpous alone not saying that you are but yes adobe after effects is the best editing software that ive seen. I was also implying from my exp on what people use their Pc/Macs for everyone has a diffrent point of intrest.

  • @DRIZZAT1 no i said video makeing because you spelled it worng also most pc users are familes

  • @mwjk13 i know i spelled that word wrong why would you ever bring a spelling mastake into a conversation is it more important to you than the conversation? and where in the conversation did i say annything at all about "familes" I said "users" witch in terms means anny person in general that is useing A pc/and or Mac. I have to say You just came in to a loseing battle when 1.you try to put me down with a pointless statement and had no idea on how the topic even got started.

  • @mwjk13 wow you dont kno how to create a video? JK im not implying that Mac/Apples are better at editing they just tend to be better at those subjecs. and no im not implying that all pc users are gamers no but "Most" of the people that I've talked to/Seen use their pc for this perpous alone not saying that everyone is. Yes adobe after effects is the best editing software that ive seen. I was also implying from my exp on what people use their Pc/Macs for everyone has a diffrent point of intrest.

  • Same mbp as you and I am very pleased at how well crysis runs, everything medium - high 1440x900 antialiasing x2.

  • That's funny because I can play Crysis on my Laptop on all completely maxed out settings... Oh yeah and mine cost $500 less than your Mac.

  • let me say this :

    very rich people have mac

    other people have pc

  • honestly why dont people shut up about which computer is better jesus some people like apple and their products some people dont but you dont have to going around trying to destroy their beliefs and by the looks of peoples comments it seems like people are willing to kill other people for liking a computer i mean wtf dont go all hitler on people just like what you want but dont be a dick and yell and someone who doesnt like what you like i have both a mac and a pc and i like them both

  • @deathhunter5546

    There's nothing better about Macs. They're less powerful, less versatile, more expensive, always 1-2 years behind current technologies, with shitty software support (unless you use Bootcamp, the Mac life-saver) and consistently get beaten to death by PCs that cost $700-$1000 less, which......coincidentally, have MUCH better hardware.

  • @TheUberDeity GOD SO agree with you pcs pown macs any day

  • @TheUberDeity macs are more expensive because their worth it, with good movie editing software, and photo. the hp need tons of money put in it. the mac will last longer then a pc of the same price.

  • Thinking of getting this, are you running it on windows through bootcamp? If so what version do you have?

  • i wanna win i-touch 4g

  • Uh, SoldierKnowsBest, I am a huge Mac fan and I play games on my Mac, just don't try doing this. I mean, unless it's i7 processor with Nvidia 7Billion and like 19 gigs of RAM, Crysis is a bitch. Macbook Pros are good for more reasonable things like Black Ops, TF2, Bad Company 2, etc. For most people, Pros are a good choice for life, work, and gaming, because most people don't give a crap about Crysis.But Macs definitely can't play those.

  • LOL you fag i spent 601 dollars on my pc and it runs crysis full specs (gforce gtx 240 $101, and some scape yunk pc i slapped together for 500 bucks with a 21inch monitar 500gighdd 2gigddr2 *why need more only running 32bit* your fucking gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND im from Australia so if you use the exchange system i think were at 0.93 or someshit to the dollar you would hae paid something like $584 american for this. I HATE MACS you simple minded fucks cant think for your selfs

  • you sound like cal from ballad of ricky bobby

  • makes my desktop pc look sad!

  • Well this sucks! My Q6600 quad core and 9800GTX+ Superclocked plus 4 gigs of ram don't even run it that well :(

  • @MartBro93 did that cost you 1400$?

  • @Intel1502 yeah plus assembly!

  • @MartBro93 then your an idiot have you got multi core rendering selected in bios you fucking dummy? either that or you got fucked in the ass by a computer sales men god your a fucking idiot what you just said is impossible. go di3!!

  • @4scam lol

  • since this vid was 2 yrs ago, will the new macbook pro's with 320m graphics be able to play crysis 1 and 2 no problem with like 30-40 fps?!?!

  • My macbook too

  • Yes the 15 inch new macbook runs everything on high in crysis:D

  • can't wait for crysis 2, you getting it?

  • use screenflow next time

  • @PureXProductionss If he runs ScreenFlow while playing Crysis (or any other game), he's FPS will drop. So if he had ran ScreenFlow, what would be the point of makeing this vid? I would be laggy as hell, that's the opposite of what he's trying to show you ;D

  • @opltf ahahha i stand corrected

  • m17x rapes mac pro hard.. no offense to you soldier knows best..

  • @KINGhotaru11 Ofc there are better gameing laptop's out there on the market, but this vid. was just to show that it could run smoothly with the right settings.

  • WHAT THE FUCK AA TURNED OFF? DISGUSTING

  • 8600 gm Honestly sucks. My friend has an all in one pc with an 8400 gm. Still crap, my hd 4670 pwns it and hd 4670 isn't great.

    This mac book is old and outdated. Btw I have a pc. I don't need a mac. I'm 14 years old.

  • @Avataryoutuification 14 years old, like half the youtube know-it-all trolling populations.

    of course its out of date, this vid was posted in april of 2008 you dumb ass.

    If you gaming buying any brand name computer is extremely stupid when you could build one for cheaper with more power.

  • @obscurouse Oh no shit sher lock. Welcome to the internet. Hope you like trolls, 4 chan is fun.

  • @Avataryoutuification This video was posted more than 2 years ago. So yes, this macbook is obviously old and outdated, Sherlock...

  • @KaiserBecks ¬,¬ I think I've already covered that I know this my dear Watson.

  • dude you suck so much at video games

  • ive got the exact same laptop as you SoldierKnowsBest, except mine is 17", yet mine cannot even run counter strike source and portal properly.

  • lol +1 of you agree that this guy cant play crysis worth dick

  • waste of time

  • did you buy the windows version?

  • how do you not know how to pronounce anti aliasing... haha

  • What are you using to run it on the mac? steam?..cuz I have a mac book pro 6 15" and dont got any games and I want one but they are all for pc

  • I have every thing maxed out on my gateway fx laptop and it runs smooth as a babys butt!

  • 1280x720 with all the vital settings set to Medium and only a handful set to High, plus AA turned off, and that's the framerate he gets?

    Not surprising. If I had to run Crysis at those meager settings and that framerate, I would uninstall the game and wait another 5 or 6 years for Apple to come out with a line refresh that would allow me to go back and play it at High settings at 1680x1050.

    C'mon!! Even the top-tier Mac pro couldn't play COD4 at anything more than 30FPS at 1680x1050!

  • Doesn't lowering the quality of the game defeat the purpose of crysis?

  • @prohibidiito isnt a purpose of a game to play it not to worry about how good that graphics are

  • @FlagmyTags No, the purpose of a game is gameplay and graphics. But in Crysis's case graphics is everything

  • mmh?.. pretty shitty.

    should get a pc. It will look a whole lot better

  • Asus g73 is amazing

  • I have both MAC, and PC, MAC is for work, and PC is for games, because it runs much better in PC. But as for work, i prefer to use my MAC. Overall though, I use pc much more than my MAC..

  • @malloucius thanks for sharing.....

  • Any way to record multiplayer (Wars) with recording software?

  • Not having a program capable of caping the vid and having to cam his own comp priceless

  • I hope your better on the battlefield in real life than you are in game :P

  • Acer 7738 G fucks the shit out of this apple Mac book "Pro"!!!

  • @eoMue Well yeah dude, the Mac books arent meant to be for gaming. They are pretty damn good for them though.

  • i MIGHT buy a mac when they start using amd instead of intel.

    phenom 965 hell yea.

  • @adolf512 and what about the new imacs/macbooks with i5/i7? i7 is still the fastest consumer cpu.

  • @h4x0y they are to expensive and still don´t offer performance for the money. if they sart using amd macs will be cheaper AND mutch faster.

  • @adolf512 if amd was "much" faster, then why dont big pc companies include amd's? dell/hp/alienware you name it, most of their pc's are all intel based... i dont know why actually, maybe its more reliable or something

  • @h4x0y intel was paying them to NOT USE AMD. intel also got fin£d for that. intel and nvidia has offered COUSTUM SULUTIONS FOR MAC, if amd start doing the same thing apple will properly SWITH TO AMD.

    remember that macbooks are expensive but still have the very best performance.

  • @adolf512 sounds scary. i know AMD and ATI are cooperating, nVidia and Intel arent. Apple seems to implement intel only, but doesnt seem to have a preference on the gpu's (imacs mostly ati, macboocs mostly nvidia).

    kinda reminds me of the dissapointing fact that nvidia pays game developers to not only show the "nvidia the way its meant to be played" logo but also for creating isnase gfx so that customers frequently buy new gpu's.

  • i got a A LOT better computer for like 60 % of the prise, and i will be able to run mac os.

    i also included 21.5 inch monitor full hd and logitech s220 speakers in the prise..

  • PC ftp

  • because it has PC hardware. Most people thing that apple products have apple hardware and that is not the case here. Apple computers used all PC Hardware

  • @keiki646 Yeah, Most ppl dont understand that.

  • hey soldier... I've got a quick question for u and everyone else here as per personal opinion. I've been considering switching to mac or Linux but i also like gaming to but am not to concerned about sli/crossfire. I would like everyones opinion on what the best p.c. (Personal Computer mac or windows) would be the best choice?

  • ok i know im gone sound like a dum ass here but i don't play game on my computers at all

    i see that the game runs lovely on this but would it be able to be played on an iMac(just got it 5 days ago) or would i have to upgrade it in any way or anything like that

    if anyone knows drop me a line explaining things to me thanks

    Gr8 Vid :)

  • apple needs to open source their software (os x)

  • Mac gamers don't recognize the word ali ali aliasing :P

  • @IIIKrazyKiDDIII: Majority of people who uses OS X usually are computer illiterate or close to it. This is their mind set: "I paid over $1500 on my laptop. So yeah, mine's better and faster." They're totally, entirely oblivious...

  • so musicians, architects, photographers are stupid ?!

  • "Very few gaming rigs that can run Crysis"? Are you a joke man? Wake the fuck up dude. This is probably fake too. You're not even showing the MacBook Pro. You're just showing us a screen. SoldierKnowsBest my ass! What a joke...

  • @SimplyCarLo Even a 5650 can play crisis at that res and its a lot cheaper then a mac.

  • i agree i have a pretty old system but still can run crysis how ever soldierknowsbest is the biggest mac fan i know

  • @sharkstun97: My point exactly. I'm sick and tired of these random ass cats doing unboxings and uninformative, biased reviews. I've yet to find someone in Youtube who does reviews who's not biased as hell. The only one that I know that comes close is PCWizKid. He reviews Intel, AMD, Nvidia, ATi and sometimes even Linux...

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, you don't know what you are talking about at all do you.

  • I do. You just can't comprehend...

  • mac's suck

  • Hi SoldierKnowsBest

    your videos have been reasonable before, but this one claiming to "run" crysis with those specs is really quite a stretch.

    to be fair you're on a laptop, FPS is somewhere between 9-20 i'm guessing, so it's okay if you're not expecting too much.

    Just don't make videos to encourage mac users to add to their list of "Stupid things to shout at every non-Mac user"

    Currently the latest on that list from "mac is 100% virus-safe", is "Games run 10x faster on OSX."

    Please stop.

  • lol imperial armour u statement is kind of funny

    "Stupid things to shout at every non-Mac user"

    from Most pc user all u hear is "how is mine sweeper"

    lol

    and also i reckon if u tweaked those settings a bit more u could probly get 25fps +

  • dont dare to make jokes about mine sweeper... you wasnt there man... you wasnt there!

  • lololol

    hey bro

    did u watch the mine sweeper movie on here?

    type in mine sweeper movie

    is by collage humor i think, is pretty sweet lol

  • thx for the hint, its awesome

  • Np bro.

  • You know alot of them are true. Plus you are seeing this very one sided. There are alot of Windows users that talk trash to mac users. Truth be told Macs are better gaming computers, they just dont have the user base behind them to cause business men to make games for them. Plus I could just run Windows and play all your games"

    And Crysis was not being run on OSX so dont say it is making it run better. its just Mac hardware, and mac hardware is generally better.

  • @ImperialArmour Idiots say stuff like: "mac is 100% virus-safe", is "Games run 10x faster on OSX." a OS is a OS. And evry os has its strength n weaknesses, Mostly its just what u need ur computer for

  • @sergo40 I'm a mac user and when I hear people say that stuff, I want to smack them

  • @liljoedaprince1414 im a furry and when i hear people complain about someone's comment, i want to smack them.

  • @ApSykesThewolf i was agreeing with what he said...

  • @liljoedaprince1414 lol i had no side i was picking on xD

    it was just mentioning slapping someone, i wanted to join xD!

  • @ImperialArmour bleh

  • @ImperialArmour i see a hater

  • @ImperialArmour

    true... mactards make mac users look bad

  • @ImperialArmour he's not trying to show that games run BETTER on a Mac, just that they run just as good. You have to remember, this is on a LAPTOP. Crysis is the biggest resource eater out there. SKB is showing that this game is playable on a Macbook Pro and the graphics still look nice. Try running that on a high-end iMac and it'll scream.

  • @ImperialArmour shutup fuckhead

  • How is he encouraging Mac users to make ignorant statements about Mac OSX? He's demonstrating that Crysis can be run, nothing more. If its fake, it's fake. As for the FPS, where can you validate this statement? I find it hard to believe that you can tell FPS from his video. Your generalization of Mac users is incorrect; most of us know what we're doing, and _to an extent_ the statements you said that are on "the list" are true, except games would run faster due to hardware, not OSX itself.

  • @theinfinitestar00 Ahem, this was a response to imperialarmor's comment, but it appears it did not show up as a reply.

  • Comment removed

  • Don't do this to your Macbook, you'll just melt it... it's so thin, it doesn't have proper cooling for games.

  • i play it in high....why does it stay relatively cool...where is your proof?...o wait you have none

  • I remember trying out the Crysis demo on my brother's Packard Bell computer.

    *sigh*

    One frame per minute.

  • Its called a bad graphics card. You should look into it because you probably only have Geforce FX 5600. LOL

  • No, I have a 9400M.

  • Yeah, that card sucks... It can only run cod4 at a low res with low graphics.

  • i run cod4 on high resolution what r u talking about

  • And?

  • Compare that to an ati 5870 mobility

  • not really mate, i had great customer service and they gave me a in home warrenty, i call them, they come to my house and fix it xD

    there not horrible either lol

    if you owned one you wouldnt say that just keep your comments to your self

  • @nzcookiemonster

    "if you owned one you wouldnt say that just keep your comments to your self"

    Hypocrite. Do you own a macbook pro? then keep your comments to yourself.

    yes, mb pro's aren't the BEST at gaming, because that's not what they're designed for.

    everything has its pros and cons, and there's no point comparing them. it's like arguing over whether shoes are better than doors. they're different things, made for different purposes.

  • Fucking macfacgs

    They think because they spent $1000 more on a computer that it's actually better.

    oh god

  • aahmmmh dont get mad because you cant afford it

  • i'm happy that i can save my money and STILL get a computer that's fucking worth it.

    Fuck

    with the money i spend buying a mac i could buy a pc thats about 2x as good

  • you mean -10x that is a piece of crap that cant play games that good

  • @Davidlovesmac my PC is about $2000

  • aahmmmh dont get mad because you have no penis

  • @Davidlovesmac Hahaha, you're an idiot. Apple sucks fucking dick - and everything they make is a fucking piece of shit, you just fail to realize that because you are so easily manipulated by shiny Apple ads.

    All Mac users are retarded.

  • @Davidlovesmac your a moron! why pay for it in the first place you thimble headed drone? you clearly "oh i have garage band" FROOTY LOOPS!!!!!!!!! do you know what all the dj's in the world use to create music they play it on a mac because thats all it is A FUCKING MEDIA PLAYER. you should change your name to Davidlovescock

  • @Davidlovesmac I hope you're not talking about affording macs because I have a mac, and I build my own PC, and my PC rapes the shit out of my mac

  • Too bad they aren't better

  • looks very very good

  • Also people who complain about viruses on their PCs really need to wise up. I've never had a virus on my PC, nor has it crashed or frozen. That's because I take care of it(don't visit sketchy websites, don't click ads, occasional defrags) and I also buy quality parts for my computers.

    I also considered Mac OSX, but I really don't have a use for it considering my PC does everything I've needed it to.

  • After reading a bunch of these comments I don't understand why some people pull facts out of their asses on both sides. I read comments from PC fans saying "oh, a $600 desktop could max out Crysis". Then I read comments from Mac fans saying "the fastest windows PCs are Macs". Both are blatant lies. The fastest Windows PCs are PCs due to their more customizable nature. PCs have Crossfirex, SLI, huge Raid 0 arrays of SSDs with overclocked, liquid cooled processors. But, it won't be cheap.

  • willcrysis still run on 2.26ghz macbook pro 13?, also, im gonna do bootcamp, windows 7. and... not gonna do net browsin on windows, only mac os x. but i may wanna go online on sum games,on widows,dont really wanna buy norton just 4 that, will i hav 2? thnx

  • no i sorry but your mac book is to weak, it will look like shit especially cause its a mac, 2.4ghz is enough, 9400m is the shittest laptop gpu of 2009 according to notebook gpu scorelist, not even a 17inch maxed otu mac book can run this game on high, it is configured for pc's, if you ever want to play this game and want it to look good buy an alienware otherwise enjoy a thin waste of money which can barely run any games xD

  • he has a macbook pro the pro is way more powerful.

  • what do you mean more powerfull wow what a joke

  • A computer is a waste of money if it can't run one the most graphically demanding games? Mac's really aren't formatted to run games, and with that in mind, they do it extremely well. And alienware? please. those things are a fucking pile of garbage. I love PC's just as much as the next guy, but for the love of god don't buy an Alienware, unless you want HORRIBLE customer support and a shoddy warranty.

  • @nzcookiemonster 9400m is shitty?

    Compare that to a Intel GMA GPU.

  • @PatabookG5

    There the same (kinda) , intel GMA, 9400m, onboard graphics proccessor.

  • @nzcookiemonster yeah

    but i tryed it on a sony, 10% slower.

  • thanks im enjoying it soo much my macbook!!!!!

  • and its sooo GODAMN THIN I LOVE IT!!!!!!....AND i SPENT ALMOST 2000 DOLLARS SOO FUCKING CHEAP!!!

  • Typical PC fag

  • Typical etlist macfag

  • wich is better. 8600m gt or 9400m gt? both 256 mb

  • 9400m for sure.

  • really? but what if the 9400 is integrated?

  • a 9400 is an onboard gpu. It ain't faster than the dedicated 8600M GT.

  • ya know.. im a Windows fan ive used the mac OS and just dosent feel right to me. BUT i do love the results you get from final cut pro..and other MAC Proprietary software, saw some videos of windows 7 running on a mac and now i want one. my biggest fear was that i would get a mac and not like the OS and only use it from time to time for video editing, that's not the issue anymore :D besides i have a beast of a desktop for windows lol...just no good video software..and i have tried them all :(

  • this is nice knowing it can run good games but tbh anyone buying a mac for games is stupid, the main reason i want a macbook is because i do alot of audio production and editing and the mac is industry standard

  • is that a 2007 edition macbook pro silver edition i have the same one

  • my friend has a hp laptop for about $800 same specks as base macbook pro 15', bucks that is running the same game as you with the same settings and it preformed about the same. I checked the price for the base 15inch macbook pro and its $1700. Im not saying that they are horrible computers but they are seriously impractical for it for the price since apple charges a lot extra for the OS where the OS has almost nothing to do with gaming in performance. i would like to buy a mac but its expensive.

  • first of all-macs are just an expensive slow PC IF (!) you look at the gaming at them-e.g. SL vs 7 in graphic performance gives windows a lead but, in other productivity aspects SL is pretty dominating. check it on internet, do not believe me.

    therefore do not buy a mac is you do not need it-i use PS and Aperture a lot, and i find apple products to be suitable for me, and even cheaper than PC that i would have to buy for that performance.

    secondly, you are paying also for reliability etc...

  • don't forget the awesome design and all macs have a LED display which most windows laptops lack

  • exactly, there are also many other features like long lasting battery, quiet cooling, small size (width and mass), backlit keyboard, very good speakers... etc. i could be telling all of this through the whole day... i just did not say that last time, because i run out of character limit :D.

    i am mac and for me they are the best (except gaming), but rest is just better -- macs are even the fastest PC that run windows :D... but this is a free market, and people may buy what suits them best...

  • how? how can you install a pc game on a mac?

  • Some pc games can be found at the apple store or other places where they have changed it to be able to run on a Mac.
