[QUOTE=Camp er Joe;20624133]No. There is one button to press to left click. In the options you can make it so you can use two fingers on the touchpad at once to right click. When we play CoD in class I use my right hand to click and move the mouse. I have my first finger on the button. My middle on the touch pad to aim. I then let my third finger press down on the touchpad so I have 2 fingers touching it. Then I click using my first finger to use the iron sight. Then I lift my third finger off to shoot. Its not that hard.
If you've ever used a mac before you'll know its not even hard to play games.[/QUOTE]
I use a PC and I know its not hard to play games.
Make that post say that its not hard to play games on a MAC.
And the way you play your game sounds really complicated; there should be an easier way.
it's like christmas for mac users

It just sounds complicated because I've made it long. Here is 3 pictures to show how easy it is.
First picture is the touchpad where you move the cursor, the rectangle below that is the button to click.

Ok now here is how I play. Finger on the button and One finger on the touchpad to aim and stuff.

When I want to right click to use the ironsight I just do this.

Noticed how all I had to do was put 1 more finger on the touchpad?

you use mac, so you might know some history.
do you know why Apple dropped the second mouse button entirely on newer laptops?
the only Apple product I own is an old powerbook 145b, and even that old black and white thing has a right click, even though the button was below the first one.
here is a picture of the model.

Its the button below the trackball.

this is exactly what i'm criticising
touchpad is even worse than a control stick for aiming, plus it's awkward as hell

This is a very symbolic image on a few levels
For one is shows that most PCs are gritty compared to macs, but are more versatile
while macs are very clean, are easy to use, but are missing a few key features (and can tip over)

PCs are upgradeable, come in many colors (Red and blue) can have missiles and dual machine guns, and they do not talk to you, unless they are low on ammo or health (they "beep")

Is that really steam, or is it a joke?

You believe that because of the fud about how porting games across the platforms is really hard and time consuming, which was overstated so many times.
Actually, once you get running port of the graphics engine in OpenGL, the rest of porting is pretty much easy. It will take only fractional part of the game development to get the port up, and it will be mostly done by different people than those who actually develop the content in the game. By the way, this process will be almost same for all Source games, as they need to get the Source working, and the small differences between games can be fixed with ease.

No i don't use touch pads, i use a iMac but I've used touch pads and stuff, but not for gaming. Maybe i'm wrong, but i still think it would be better buying a cheap mouse
[QUOTE=DrTaxi;20590395]I meant OSX disabled right clicking on the Mighty Mouse. I know right clicking is important in OSX as well and you can do it with other mice. I have a Mac as well.[/QUOTE]
Did it? When I had a Mighty Mouse I remember being able to right click right away (but the mouse annoyed the hell out of me so when I bought a new mouse for my PC I hooked the old one up to my Mac)
