Re: Can Battlefield 4 run on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5?

If he is that desperate there should be a program on the Mac Book called "Boot Camp Assisstant" run that and it read every page as it will tell him what you need to do to get Windows on Mac.

Boot camp is a program on Mac that uses the other 2gb memory to store Windows. You switch to windows and it will run like a windows computer. The only problem with this is, is that Mac Book Pro's do not have the right specifications to run BF4 and I don't think you can change its internals even if you could it would cost just as much as building yourself a new laptop.

He really should have cheked before buying the game.

I would have to say if he wants it that bad it is probably cheaper to build your self a new computer which comes with Windows for free.

Basically you can get windows which will run BF4 but it won't run because of the specifications of a Mac Book. (I have one, I know the specs.)

Hope this helps.

I checked out his specs, They are better then minimum requirements. So basicly your saying it 110% requires Windows?
We didn't figure out that it couldn't run on Mac because it wasn't on the BF4 origin store page. :P

Well basically, When you get bootcamp and then buy windows if basically gives you 2 operating systems on your mac that you switch between.
E.g You want to play BF4 you switch to Windows. You want to do something that isn't on Windows you switch to OSX Mountain Lion
It wouldn't have said that because the only operating system BF4 runs on is Windows

You know mate... Just saying it might be helpful to take the time to write the sentance "This game does not run on Mac". Might save some people their time and money.

PS: Got a refund.
