I grew up with Black Ops 2 and wanted to see if I could get it to work on my MacBook Pro 2020. So I used close work 5.5 to create a tool that converts your copy of the game (from Steam) into a native ARM64 Mac app, with almost 60fps in all areas. The entire game is statically compiled ahead of time (AOT) and does not use any emulator, be it Wine, Crossover or Rosetta. The best thing is the performance, although some heat problems are still not solved. You can play the entire campaign, local multiplayer (with bots) and local zombies (all DLC maps; obviously you need to have them in your Steam library) at around 60fps. Split screen wasn't in the PC version, but I've been working on it recently; It's coming soon! LAN mode is on the road map later too :).
