Can someone recommend a good first person shooter for a Rev B MacBook Air 1.86Ghz/128SSD running OS X 10.5.6? I'm going to be traveling a bit over the next month and am looking for something to kill time in airports, hotels, etc... and would like something I can run natively without having to dice up a new Bootcamp partition. I'm partial to WWII or contemporary warfare themed games as opposed to zombie, "thug" or space alien themes. Any ideas would be great, especially games that would be playable on the trackpad/keyboard without a mouse. Doesn't have to be the latest/greatest - Splinter Cell was plenty for my casual gaming.
Thanks,
Dave

I love the old ghost recon series.

A bit out dated, but the gameplay is amazing. check em' out

My opinion is Call of duty 4 modern warfare which is one of my favorite games ever it is a modern shooter great will definitly keep you going for a while.

But if you want to go back to WWII then Call of Duty 5 world at war is the way to go i havnt played it but i have heard that it is amazing.

Depending on your skill in shooters COD4 will definitly keep you occupied i am a total shooter gamer and it took me about a month to finish the game on the two hardest difficultys.

hope this helped

The rev B MBA should handle CoD4 fine.. it runs really well on my aluminum MB and the specs are quite similar.
