Portal is free until May 24th. Also, it's on Mac now. - Page 3

Probably a dumb question, but does anyone know if Mac users will be able to play on Steam with PC users?

That's something else. I've downloaded both and just started the prelude. It's not bad.

For TF2 I know the answer is yes. No idea for other games.

A: Mac and PC users will all play together, on the same servers. We're not creating two separate universes. We're all going to be one big, happy family with guns locked in a bloody, never-ending struggle for cap points.

atleast with TF2 they said you could

Yay! I hope it works for the L4D franchise, too.

I mean, I know a lot of macs aren't one-click-only anymore, but obvious joke is obvious.

The Portal Prelude mod has pissed me off more than it should have.

Aerozord · 05-15-2010, 03:41 PM

I tried it myself, it lacks the balance of the games actual maps. I cant even move beyond like, the second section

Viridis · 05-15-2010, 03:51 PM

It seems to rely on your being pretty good at Portal. Mostly the double fling and stuff like that. I'm having a hard time placing a portal mid-fall because of the way the orientation/camera changes after passing through one.

Aerozord · 05-15-2010, 03:54 PM

which is what I meant about it not being balanced, asks way too much for early levels. More about twitch then puzzle solving

Viridis · 05-15-2010, 04:02 PM

Yeah. More than once I've known the solution but haven't had the reflexes to act it out.

Edit: Just finished the Flash Mappack. Very fun.
