Hi Guys
I'm getting a mac, now that my old PC broke down. (NO HATE)
I've seen people playing on their mac's without installing Windows, but i can't find out how they manage to do it?
PLEASE HELP!

Why don't you just save half of the money and buy a superior gaming PC like everybody else with a common sense?

OK, so you hate windows, but want to use a Mac to 'emulate' windows. Wow!

haha, this.
yes, you can play on a mac without installing windows. games such as Black Ops (1), MW (1), CoD1 + 2, Borderlands, Rage, Quake 4, Doom 3, Prey, CS:S, and many others are available on mac. the multiplayer is cross platform, means you can play against pc players.
but to answer the rest of your question, you can't play BF3 on a mac without installing windows, bc there is no mac version. it's very simple, install win 7 through bootcamp and play it.
i'm playing on a mac btw. and even though the GPU is shitty, the rest of the hardware is decent. but if you play only multiplayer FPS it won't matter anyway, since you'll play it on low, and for that a current mac(book pro) will do it. you could technicly play the BF3 SP campaign on high res.
if you plan on buying AAA games such as FC3 and Crysis 3, i'd recommend you buying a gaming pc, since their system requirements will rape your mac specs.

You can natively install windows in a mac, though you won't get the full experience

I've tried to play BF3 at my MacBook Pro and it almost overheated after 10 minutes of gameplay, so i'd suggest you to not trying it at all.

don't bother using parallels. it's terrible. IF you want to play BF3 on a mac, use bootcamp. means a win partition on the hd inside your mac device. very simple,

I will never get it. Why do people pay thousands of dollars for bargain bin parts thrown into a shiny case with a fruit on it?
