Nope, you'll need to install Windows using Bootcamp. I am running Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro and it runs the game beautifully. Around 80 fps with most settings on High.

Cody remind me again why you're using 7?? Did you not have a copy of XP? Or for the sole purpose of it being more lightweight?

Because it was the latest and greatest and I just wanted to try it out. XP is more lightweight but this is just more visually appealing while still running the game perfectly.

Oh right on, I was unaware of the 7 being "newest" in windows release. I'll stick with XP sp2 just to keep it simple though :P
Can't wait for tomorrow to rolld around :D

If you have Max OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard you already have Bootcamp. If you have Tiger, just go to Best Buy or the Apple Store and buy the Mac OS X Snow Leopard upgrade for $29. As far as Windows 7, I got it off Demonoid but you can use Windows XP and it will run perfectly.
