June 28, 2012

 

Aspyr Media, Inc., the leader in Mac game publishing, announced today that Activision Publishing, Inc.’s record-setting Call of Duty®: Black Ops will be coming to the Mac. Developed originally by award-winning studio Treyarch and brought to the Mac by Aspyr Media, the Mac version of the epic Call of Duty blockbuster will be available on Macs worldwide in digital and boxed formats this fall.

 

“Aspyr has worked with the biggest brands in the entertainment world, but the launch of the original Call of Duty: Black Ops for Apple fans is our biggest in 17 years. Treyarch has created a masterpiece and we are thrilled to launch later this year,” said Ted Staloch, Aspyr’s Executive Vice President.

 

Call of Duty: Black Ops takes players to conflicts across the globe as elite black operations forces fight in the deniable operations and secret wars that occurred under the veil of the Cold War. Featuring an adrenaline-pumping single-player campaign, out-of-this-world Zombies co-operative game mode, and an incredibly deep multiplayer experience, Call of Duty: Black Ops delivers the complete Call of Duty experience with amazing enhanced graphics, streaming texture technology, and superior lighting effects for the most immersive and cinematic action.

 

Features:

The hallmark intensity of Call of Duty returns with a cinematically intense single-player campaign that takes players deep behind enemy lines as an elite Black Ops soldier engaging in covert warfare, classified operations, and explosive conflicts across the globe.

ZOMBIES! For the first time on the Mac, fight to survive in one of the most thrilling and critically acclaimed co-op experiences in gaming.

Expanding on the series' ultimate multiplayer experience, Call of Duty: Black Ops takes competitive play to new heights. Expect the fast-paced, action-packed combat you love with more features than ever before:

All new Killstreaks including Napalm Strikes, the remote controlled explosive device (RC Car), and controllable helicopters.

Customize the look of your soldiers with a variety of face paints, gun camos, and equipment options.

Jump into Combat Training and hone your tactics against A.I. bots in both Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch game modes.

OH YA! Bring it on! I have been wanting to play newer CODs for a long time, and it is finally out!

So, from what I can gather from other threads, there is no F|A server for Black Ops? Is there any chance one may go back online in the near future with the Mac release, or do we think there will still not be enough people playing on it for it to be worth it?

[EmperorZerg]

I already pre-ordered it! Can't wait.

[Lulu]

Aspyr just emailed me...it's out today.

I got it, and I am very impressed. Even though you can only play against other Mac players, there are always near-full servers, even though - sadly - you need to do a lot of "pull by the leash" to get people to join wager matches with you since there is no one in there to start. There is no way an F|A server would work on Mac, however, because Aspyr servers are the only ones in the server list, and there are no other servers to choose from other than theirs (there is no "start server" option, no server hosting software, etc.) All in all, no lag, great gameplay, and you guys should all get it. I actually ran into another person (forget the name) who was wearing the F|A tags. We then met up on CoD 4 (it wasn't a poser).
