This game is absolutely and fully supported by Apple's Mac computers.
There's just no Mac OS support
You want to play it on your Mac, buy a copy of Windows. If you've already paid the price premium for a Mac, a gaming capable Mac, no less (which means you paid no less than twice what the hardware is actually worth), then a $100 OS is chump change.

It loads and runs every game I have ever wanted.
Isn't the newest Mac OS a form of Linux? ... the new 11 series?

OS X comes from earlier in the Unix lineage than Linux, I believe, and is really more a descendent of BSD than Linux. Still, one can run Wine on OSX
One could also download Ubuntu and install it next to OSX to run Wine (Wine is better on Ubuntu than almost any platform, in my experience), but, if one was going to do that, one might as well just buy a copy of Window $100 is no expenditure of one has already paid 2-3 times the normal price of hardware getting a Mac that's gaming-capable.
BTW, JackDeth, if you use Ubuntu, what are your thoughts on where they're going with the interface? I think it's pretty good so far, but I've heard a lot of groaning from my Linux-using friends (I only use Linux on occasion for specialized tasks, or to play with from time to time)

If you really have a Mac that has the GPU to be decent in terms of gaming performance (you'd need to to run MWO on Wine anyways, especially given the ~50% FPS hit I've seen for Cryengine 3), then why not just eat the cost of a $100 copy of Windows, run it natively, and get better FPS?

With the Nvidia card that I use (GTX280) and the latest drivers...I get over 70 FPS in World of Warcraft even in big raids.
I have yet to get a proper download of Crysis into the drive (problem with Origin ... error 17854:5) and EA is giving me the ultimate run around in trying to solve it.
The call center (probably in India or there abouts) wants me to dump my system and reformat the drive (this is their answer to every fault).
I have used another computer to try and load...but no good...even with a clean install of OS.
The call center is totally F***ked!!
If anyone has a work around for this fault...I would LOVE to hear about it and get online.

And this is basically the problem you're going to run into on Mac or Linux when trying to run games made for a Windows platform.
Unless you're REALLY interested in spending lots of time with support and hacking around in your system, go with Wintendo.

This Attitude does no one any good. More players the longer the game will last, no matter what the platform.
There is bootcamp and WINE for now, but i would hope that at some point PGI looks into developing a native mac client, There are lots of Gamers out there with Mac's
