Here is the deal, SWBF2 will not be ported for Mac unless something makes people want to buy the game, it honestly did not sell that well being why no one bothered to Port it, Beenox the company that ported SWBF1 to Mac, would be the ONLY people to talk to honestly, Asypr does not port that many games, they are more a publisher and they only port high end money makers, Call of Duty 4 for example.

SWBF2 made by Pandemic who is no longer a company so it may not realistically be possible, because Lucas Arts i would assume owns it,  and they don't do anything if it won't make Lucas Arts money, SWBF2 for the mac would not make Lucas Arts any amount of substantial money.

Realistically your just beating a dead horse by asking, people tried it already long ago when the games were much more popular, and it failed.

Burning Sun, if you want to play SWBF2 that bad, I would highly suggest for you to get a copy of Crossover Games. With that, you can install and run SWBF2 just fine.

Agreed, it will never happen and the game itself was half and half- I think there was alot of good stuff in the game, mostly the singleplayer, and the multiplayer was total crap.

Let's face it, the game's 4-5 years old now and Lucasarts has a trend of not caring about their old games, so it'll be left into the dust to die just like Battlefront I.

Let me finish this topic:


Porting this game will be a nightmare. The traditional porting process of a game very lengthy (it took Aspyr over a year to port cod4 and it still is highly flawed) and it is very costly to do. The Mac gaming market is so small and the chances of people buying a 5 year old game at full price isn't high. LucasArts will most likely lose money by porting this. We didn't even take consideration of Multiplayer hosting, mass production, and a whole lot of other requirements to get this game in shelves.

The original developer has been shut down, LucasArts is only interested in milking the franchises that is currently owns, and let's admit it, this game sucks and it's not reaching the standards we expect in a FPS released today.

In other words, no, this game does not belong on the Mac when it is 2010. It's too bad, and it's too late.

That's why I'm a PC.

Why anyone would ever want a mac, I'll never know.
