sounds great .. Mine is MBA 11,17/8/256.. Should work fine then.. Time to get some Head shots in
Fire in the Hole!!
It seems promising but seems more sloppy and natural than the old cs games, which I still enjoy. It's a different type and feels more casual. The saturation is ridiculous. They're following the over process to hell trend, and as a result the colors are washed out. Looks like a constant hi pass filter.
It does on the 2012 which is much faster than the 2011 graphically.
I used net_graph 1 in console to view, although I did no extensive analysis. Perhaps the areas or maps I tend to check it on are less demanding.
Wow. Impressed by this game and the intel hd 4000. On my 2012 11" ultimate, it runs very smooth with everything high except for shadow on medium.
I even turned up the resolution to native 1336x768 plus anti aliasing enabled!
Very happy with the intel hd 4000. This is so much improvement over the hd 3000

you want osx or windows numbers? they are both pretty bad, although windows might be a little faster.
Thanks for the followup. Did you try it in windows? I'm not ready to jump on the retina wagon just yet but I'm also not looking forward to another year of crappy graphics.
Thanks .. i just want to play CS GO... Why on windows is better than on mac os?
i don't want to do bootcamp or anything complicate that's why..
CS GO on mac os is unplayable on our 2011 MBA 13" i5 4GB?
Thanks
It will run medium at least (which is still more detailed than the 360 version). Not to mention, Xbox is only 5v5 and steam version can be customised to 12v12.
I've got the 13" Pro running a 2.8 i7 with 8gb RAM (512mb HD 3000 virtual GPU) and I have it at max resolution, all details on high and AA/Shadow high too and it runs smooth as butter.
I tried the Xbox one but it looks washed out and character models are terrible in comparison. Chuck that in with only a paltry 5v5 and it's better for your Mac.
It will still be much better than the Xbox. Mods will make the PC version much much better anyway.
I just want to add that CS:GO runs wonderfully on my 2012 base 13" MBA.
However, I'm REALLY bad at it. REALLY bad. I keep switching guns hoping I'll get better... I feel like I should have saved $15 and stuck with TF2. I've only played rescue the hostages or whatever though, thinking it would be like CTF, and I might just need a better map than italy/office. I'll try more later
