So
now, within Steam, there exists the option to subscribe to the
subscription service known as EA Play. What comes with the
subscription? Access to a library of games by electronic arts on Steam,
these include a number of games, both older and more recent, which you
can download and play on Steam. Is this a compatibility nightmare for
Mac OS Users? Not entirely, and the games I have tested have worked out
so well thus far. I don't run Steam in this case directly out of Mac
OS, but I do run it through Codeweavers Crossover, an emulator for Windows Operating Systems that runs a virtual windows machine on Mac OS.
From
there, I Installed a Steam App within the virtual machine emulated with
Crossover for testing some of these results. I have made a complete
video guide on how to setup Steam in Codeweavers Crossover,
which you can take a look at for reference. Starting this weekend, I
took a look at a number of games I acquired earlier through Origin to
see how well they ran on Steam through Codeweavers Crossover, and here
are the results.
Command & Conquer : Renegade
This
first person shooter game was a spinoff of the popular Command &
Conquer strategy games. The game has the single player campaign, in
which one takes the role of a GDI (Global Defense Initiative) Commando
known as Nick Parker, or Havoc. The multiplayer mode involves teams
playing against each other, trying to destroy the enemy team's military
base, while trying to prevent the enemy from doing likewise. The player
can not only play in the first person as a soldier of either GDI or
NOD, but can also enter and drive the vehicles from the original Command
& Conquer game, later renamed Tiberian Dawn. So,
how well does Renegade Run? Quite Well actually. In terms of the
compatibility ratings of Codeweavers Crossover, it runs at a 4/5. Aside
from some issues with fonts in the title, and loading screens, the game
runs smoothly in the gameplay and the in-game cutscenes. It's an
enjoyable departure from the usual routine of strategy games in the
Command & Conquer series and into the world of FPS, during the age
of the Halo series on XBox. So buckle up, and hopefully you enjoy this
classic game!
