Great to see more games using Metal come out. I bet the game will still run better in Windows on the same hardware, but we should be able to get a lot closer to the Windows version at least.
Will it sync with Steam so all my bootcamp PC achievements and unlocks are automatically in this version?
Actually - do I have to buy this again on Steam for the Mac version?
Edit - I just opened Steam on the Mac and there is CoH2 ready to install so at least I don't need to buy it again. Now just a big download to go and I will see how the Mac version compares. It will be interesting as it is the exact same machine I will be playing on.
