Call of Duty 4 shipping September 15 for Mac OS X

Call of Duty 4 was originally scheduled for release back in May 2008, but was delayed due to concerns over quality, Aspyr decided the game needed more time to bake in the oven to insure a quality gaming experience for Mac owners.

Hopefully the extra time and effort invested into the Mac OS X version of Call of Duty 4 pays off with a game that ‘just works’, with the release just around the corner we’ll soon find out.

Brief Description

“Featuring a tense storyline, filled with plot twists, the title thrusts players into battle like never before. With amazing special effects, including rim-lighting, depth of field, texture streaming and character self-shadowing, players are enlisted into one of the most photo-realistic gaming experiences imaginable.

The community-oriented Call of Duty 4 multiplayer gameplay features a robust leveling system, variety of unlockable perks, hot-join and matchmaking, as well as create a class and party capabilities to ensure that players of all skill levels can join in the fun. Additionally over 100 challenges and a host of new game environments and modes deliver unlimited possibilities. Infinity Ward has also included Kill-Cam, a fan favorite feature that they created in Call of Duty 2, which allows for spectator instant replays.”

As a fan of the series, my biggest concern as a Mac gamer is if the multi-player will be Mac vs Mac only, or will online servers allow a mixture of both Mac and Windows players? No details have been given about this issue as of yet.

Regardless of the multi-player concerns, Mac gamers will get a top notch single player experience, I’ve already played through the single player campaign in PC version and thoroughly enjoyed it, Mac gamers are definitely in for a treat.

The game is already available for preorder at Aspyr’s website for $54.99.
