My fellow Mac user, I bring good news.
Valve announced not too long ago that they are making Steam, FOR MAC! They’re porting L4D, L4D2, Team Fortress 2, the Half-Life series, and the Portal series to Mac. Estimated release date is sometime this April.
By the way, I’m not a bot. Google “Valve for Mac MacRumors”.
hey i bought the macbook pro 13 inch base model and i cna play the game fine!!! all high settings except the multicore rendering needs to be turned off :/
You should look at the video cards in question (the 9400M and the 9600M GT) and google their performance. The 9400M is integrated and has inferior performance. it’s still pretty good though, you could definitely run L4D on medium settings for like 40+ fps. just make sure you run through bootcamp and not parallels.

@DavieeShoTzz As long you don’t intend to play games on it, everythings fine.

@Conflagration911 his screen contrast needs to be higher
June 30th, 2010 at 7:02 am
Thats why you pay $50 more for the antiglare screen my friend.
June 30th, 2010 at 7:21 am
this isnt really about the game, but how bad is the glossy screen when its sunny? i have the early 2008 model which doesnt have that
June 30th, 2010 at 7:45 am
Ah no worries, I uploaded a Video of me playing it… Check it out if you wanna see graphics and that
June 30th, 2010 at 7:52 am
Dunno haven’t tried the demo yet.
June 30th, 2010 at 8:13 am
I have the same laptop too, Just wondering, was Left 4 Dead 2 laggy on yours?.. .
June 30th, 2010 at 8:48 am
I have a unibody MacBook Pro and I just bought the Left 4 Dead + Left 4 Dead 2 bundle, great to know the game runs so well on this machine

June 30th, 2010 at 9:28 am
well maybe to you but i can tell.
June 30th, 2010 at 9:34 am
Who the fuck see the difference anyway ?
i also have a game rig with quadcore and a geforce gtx280, and still for some games the Visual diff is unnoticeable to the eye !
June 30th, 2010 at 10:25 am
becuase i dont have a stupid ripp off of a stupid mac.
and besides i got a gtx 260 now so beat taht shit s0n..
and wtf is AAS?..you mean AA? well the 9600gt only does 8xAA/AF so it aint that good.
June 30th, 2010 at 11:06 am
why dont u try the highest res!
i have the older 2.5Ghz core 2 duo macbook pro and i can go up to 1440×900, Highest AAS, etc.
maybe you need to dl better drivers from laptopvideo2go.
then, believe me, your com will be a newer machine!
June 30th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
does it heat up when playing? macbook pro is the best laptop but its so costly
June 30th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
No. What? Why would that every happen.
June 30th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
I have the exact same Macbook Pro! Good to see that L4D runs flawless on it through Bootcamp. I think I’m gonna buy the game soon!
June 30th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
i got a 9600gt and i can run it @ 1280×1024 @ max settings and 8xAA/AF and get like 75fps+
June 30th, 2010 at 1:34 pm

no, lag is delayed reaction to stuff… fps is frames per second…
lag, is known as latency, it makes delayed reaction in games like i said..
frames per second on the other hand is how fast your comp is… if it can handle the game..
