Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - Spearhead

Spearhead is clearly an expansion. While the content would be lackluster as a standalone game, it is as an addition to the solid core of Allied Assault. If you are looking for something to breathe life back into the rather stagnant Mac multiplayer FPS scene, this is what you have been waiting for.

What the Mac market has here is a potentially amazing game with a terrific multiplayer mode and an amazing game engine that needs to have its single player system completely reworked. The AI code simply slaughters the game and if the game can hold itself to box specs and run well in multiplayer mode, there's no reason why it can't run almost or equally well in single player mode.

Maybe Apple gave them their new top-of-the-line systems, and they just forgot that most gamers don't get the luxury of updating their computers every time Apple announces a MHz bump. I can understand wanting to take advantage of the latest technology, but when minimizing every single video option to its lowest possible setting doesn't help, even on a machine well above the recommended minimum settings, then something is seriously wrong.
