So, I just installed AVP2 on my Mac Mini, It absolutely rocks!!!
and I really want to play online, my question are:
Where are the AVP2 MAC players?
Is there somewhere where I can update the game, patches and skins?
Do the PC ones work with MACS?
And lastly can I play online with PC players also?
You can't play online on the Mac version, can you?
It's a mac? What did you expect?

Die Mac hater!
All I own in terms of computers now are Macs, and if AVP2 for Mac can be played online. I will be VERY happy.
Well Macs do have some great games, like solitare, mine field, possibly pacman, but you'd have to do some serious upgrading and stuff.
Yeah, but my computer doesn't get viruses/ ;D
Yes it does. It's just nobody makes any virus's for macs, NOT that macs are super resistant. ::)
Meh. I've had PC's, I've had Macs.
I prefer Macs, but it's crappy that they dont have many games. But I bought a 360 so who cares. :P
Yeah, mee to, I've had PCS and MACS, and honestly, eventhought with all the Cons,
I prefer a Mac over a PC...
So, back to topic, Aeus, how long have you been playing AVP2 on your Mac?
You've never been able to play it online then?

Never played it on a Mac. I never bought it on a Mac due to the fact that I've heard and read it has no online play.
You can play against people on PC right?
Sidenote: Not a big Mac fan either.. They look badass, the OS is so clean too.. but they are freakin expensive, have no games, slightly pretentious, and don't have quite the modding community PC does. I love my iPhone though ;D

Ya its pretty awesome.. For me its great because I had a PDA I used quite a bit, a cell phone, and wanted an MP3 player. So the iPhone was a no-brainer for me. Got it for $299 at the Apple store the day they dropped the price. Sold my fairly new Motorola Razr and my PDA for $200.. paid for most of it.

Nice. :D
Can you use Mods, Maps and Skins on the Mac version the same way you can use them on the PC version?
people who used on macs could still play people who played on pc online right?
You can play pcs online with user made patch, unfortunately one of the side effects of the patch on x86 boards is the games alpha channels are hosed. People WILL kick you off of servers because you can see cloaked preds clear as day.
"mods" If you can't open rar files, it's going to be rather hard to use mods.
One question:
Is there inside of "AvP2 Mac Edition" directory a file that looks like OpenGL.ren or ogl.ren ?

haha very true!! i ve had my G5 for 4 years now, and no viruses at all.
Plus macs come with everything you need right in one disk!!
Macs all the way.
p.s. PC stands for Piece o' Crap. hahaha
My neighbour has a mac and he wants to play AvP 2 too. But it doesn't go, he can't install it properly.
Macs don't get viruses because no cares about macs.
Yeah, I mean you can't even upgrade a Mac, something breaks, theres goes that mac. Something breaks within a PC? You can replace it without wasting a good $500.
I tried to download this for my mac and I downloaded it installed it and everything and then it says I need to insert CD when the thing said I dont need one.
Anyone help? Or I'll just have to buy it.
Ok I've been thanking of ordering off of Amazon But they say it doesnt work on leopard. So does anyone know if there is true or if it is is there something you can do about it? Help!
Will this game install and run fine on newer macbooks or is it designed for old mac OS?
avp2 is dead when it comes to MAC

thats not true, and you shouldnt give mis information like that.
ignore what he said, the truth is, mac users can play avp2 if they wanted to.
you can install windows on a mac and run it native through boot camp. Just boot into windows and your mac is now a PC.
so mac users can play side by side with pc users if they use boot camp.
BTW, I have been playing on a mac for the past 7 years booting into windows to play avp2
Right...
see you online on your mac? yea? .............................................................
I'm trying to help a friend who has a mac book to install the game via wine.
we were able to start the game but have some problem.
you have any advice?

Wine, is a Linux application that aims to allow Microsoft Windows software to run on it.
MAC is not windows.
Your friend needs to get a windows edition of AVP2 and run it via wine.

Just tell him to get the windows version... it's hella cheap!!!

Yup it does... EXIST but sadly doesn't work online as the 'files' are different to the windows version.
maybe can work betwin 2 macs in lan :D
One question here for you Mac guys, does the Mac version have the ability to run mods?

Shame really... but when monolith release the 'mac edition' is was mostly done as a test.

How did you do that? When I launched it, it just took me to a AvP2 Community Network. Please teach me.

Could you reupload it somewhere by any chance please? The Mega link seems to be dead... Much appreciated!
EDIT: I do legally own the game in case this is frowned upon :)
