Call of Duty: Black Ops II recompiled to native ARM64 for macOS

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has successfully recompiled Call of Duty: Black Ops II from its original 32-bit x86 Windows architecture to native ARM64 for macOS. This fan-made project, named bo2-mac, utilizes the Remill framework to translate the game's code ahead of time, avoiding the need for emulation or translation layers like Wine. The recompiled game runs directly on Apple Silicon Macs, achieving smooth frame rates in campaign, zombies, and multiplayer modes against bots. AI

RANK_REASON This is a fan-made project that recompiles an existing game for a new platform, rather than a release from a major AI lab or a significant industry event.
