[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 841907, member: 24098"] You were poorly advised. VMWare Fusion (and all of the other VM products, including Parallels) have very limited 3D support. You might be able to play older games, but games like Crysis and COD are not going to run at all. So, while Fusion is great to run the odd Windows app, it's not well suited to games. You'd be better off installing Windows on a Boot Camp partition. No, it should be quicker. Make sure VMWare Tools is installed in your VM. I'm surprised it even runs. No. Boot Camp, which allows you to install Windows natively, is the best option for playing games, period.
