[spitzfoo]

When this game come out for PC, will it also be available for MAC users?

All that's been stated is Spring 2014 for PC, no other information has been released.

OpenGL vs D3D / Mantle.

No Frostbite3 engine game has came to OpenGL so I don't think this one will be the first.  If it does it's a safe bet that it wouldn't run nearly as well as it's D3D/Mantle counter part on identical hardware.

If you want to game on a Mac, boot camp is your best option even if the game natively supports OpenGL / Mac in most cases but not all.

Some Macs come with some pretty darn powerful GPUs (i.e. 680m).  Boot Camp Windows 7 or 8... those will play great.

I heard from a Mac user with an intel 5000 who said the game runs pretty stable on medium settings with a mild resolution (assuming 1366x768).  ((He boot camp'd))

AMD has always been good about *nix support so Mantle coming to *nix doesn't seem out of the question.  Quick google I didn't see anything jump out at me so I wouldn't hold my breathe for soon.... and even then that doesn't mean Mantle games will straight up work on *nix platforms but it should make it much easier for devs to make it work and/or power users to get it to work.  That doesn't take into account not very many Macs have AMD/ATi cards... some Mac desktops do but other than that you'd be hard pressed to find an AMD/ATi GPU Mac in a "regular" user's hands.

*edit

Did find stuff about SteamOS and Mantle.  So someday:

i really hope they make a mac version i worked and beeged for 2 months trying to get the game turns out it's pc only right now i was mad. they need a mac version. we should make a petiotion.

i petition for  PVZ: Garden Warfare to be on Mac

Bootcamp man.  If they made a Mac version the Bootcamp version would play better... it's the story most of the time.

I forsee 0% chance of it coming to OSX; outside of the ways power users can get windows programs to run on any *nix.

*edit* LoL @ those views.. wow 

* This wasn't posted long after the first article:

Intel approached AMD about access to Mantle

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2365909/intel-approached-amd-about-access-to-mantle.html
This probably means nothing for current computers is my bet though.

You can also buy a car without a driverslicense but that doesn't mean you can blame the guy who sold you the car when you aren't allowed to drive it.
