So what games do people still play online, any genre,(ex: WoW, cod4...) but when i mean people, i mean enough people to find matches... not have to wait 20 mins to find 2 people playing online.. :?

Im getting a mac book pro, and i want games for it, dont worry if its pc only game, i can put windows on my mac to run they smoothly.

I've rarely ever seen a PC game that you couldn't find someone to play with. The only game I can think of where I had a problem finding people was Universe at War, but if you have played that game you would easily understand why noone plays it.

Just get a good PC instead, macs are not for gaming and it's even more pointless to buy a mac to run Windows. Good PC multiplayer games are TF2, Counter Strike:Source, and MW2.

RTS games like Starcraft and Warcraft 3 still have large player communities even though they've been out for years.

Extremely small to dead. If you want multiplayer stay away from FC2, it's dead.

BF 2 has an active community

Team Fortress 2

L4D 2

CoD 4

CoD MW 2 (tho it's pretty much a failure - not entirely because of the lack of dedicated servers- still, there are lots of players online)

Warcraft 3

League of Legends

Trackmania Nations Forever (free) and United Forever

CS 1.6 and CS: S

Killing Floor

Even BF2142 has a decent community (around 4-4.5K players)

Do not buy a macbook to play games on, seriously, you wont be able to play half the games that are the most popular online, not at a decent framerate and setting. You will not be able to run FC2 on a macbook.

RTS games; Starcraft WC3 Supreme Commander C&C3: Kane's Wrath C&C: RA3 (I would reccomend Kane's Wrath rather than this if you are considering buying one of them, RA3 is pretty bad) Company of Heroes Dawn of War 2 Shooters; Counter Strike Team Fortress 2 Crysis Wars Unreal Tournament 3 (small community, but there) Fear 2 (again, small community)

Ok thanks alot, but im buying a mac to have and use the mac side, the point is if i ever get bored or something, id like to have the vista side for just some online games. I also wanted to say I have an xbox 360 already, and that I do play mw2, cod4, have beaten far cry2... you name it.

i hope u understand its not for serious gaming, just for some nighttime fun with some friends or ppl online.

Why do you HAVE to have a macbook? You could get a windows machine that could run pretty much any game at high- max settings (depending on the games) for the same price as a macbook pro.

Even for some "night time fun", you won't be getting much out of a Macbook unless you're willing to pay an obscene price.

Splinter Cell series. Still some activity but matchmaking takes 2-10 minutes from what I gather. I know when I played Chaos Theory finding a match was easy, so I'd say Splinter Cell is a dead series when it comes to online play. We'll see what Blacklist will do.

The question is not OS. Having the right OS for the game is easy to meet. It's the hardware that's the problem. Just because you install Windows on a Mac doesn't mean it can play a game. Also, yeah, go with Windows 7, not Vista. Vista is slow.
