CoD Black Ops for MAC:
http://www.shacknews.com/article/759...-mac-this-week
....i wonder how far we are to get Call of Duty Franchise running natively on Linux ?!?
Like it or not , Call of Duty franchise is the biggest franchise EVER.
If it arrives on Linux , a lot of attention will be put from gamers on Linux !
....and a lot more people will be/start_to_be concerned with Linux/Steam/Activision/CoD like M$ and EA/DICE

Great thing with KDE though, when I want to disable effects for a game (not very often but sometimes I do, depending on the game. some just dont like compositing) I just press Shift-Alt-F12.
Ta-da. It's an inbuilt shortcut in KDE to suspend effects and when I'm done I just press it again to reactivate compositing. Works great and makes my life easier. Unfortunately you can't suspend compositing in Unity because Unity itself is basically a Compiz plugin. So.. you'd suspend the whole desktop .
But if you can play the game fullscreen and have Compiz undirect fullscreen windows you should be okay.

The first uses Compiz (and is currently broken in Ubuntu 12.10), and the latter uses Metacity as window manager.

I am a KDE user but I wouldn't say KDE mops the floor with Unity/Compiz. Switched off desktop effects and a lightweight DE/WM would be even better I guess.
Heh. Maybe I should try running something from twm.

Running games on Ubuntu under Compiz is about the easiest way to drag your framerate down 10% or more. KDE simply mops the floor with Compiz/Unity.
