Play World War 3 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play World War 3 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

🕹 Editor's notes

World War 3 is a first-player shooting game that was developed as a successor to Battlefield 4. It was created by a diverse team with a shared passion for FPS war games.

You can play this game in multiplayer mode online. It has a feel of realism in terms of imagery and effects. It is a tactical military warfare game where you can make minor modifications to inventive devices. 

You will get many options to customize your inventory, and the attention to detail in this game is second to none. Most of the gadgets and accessories on soldiers’ uniforms look very realistic.

Plot

It is a tactical war game where the world is your frontline, battling in vast areas of battlegrounds. You get to play as a first-person shooter in this game, outgunning your enemies in thrilling encounters.

You and your team must go through random battles against other enemy teams online. The game gives you access to a wide selection of arsenal, gadgets, vehicles, and drones.

This game is a depiction of the aftermath of wars fought globally and the consequences they bring.

Gameplay

The gameplay in World War 3 is almost similar to the Battlefield franchise games but packs more of a punch than the latter. In this game, you will play as an FPS character, killing as many enemies as possible with deadly weapons. If you are injured, you can use various gadgets to heal yourself.

A round in this game lasts for about 20 minutes, and you will go up a level after each round. You can unlock more weapons and other items required during battle when you level up.

The gunplay is much more realistic than in Battlefield, and handling the vehicles does not come much easier. The minor downside to this game is the lack of map diversity. You also cannot use heavy machinery like choppers, boats, planes, etc., to cause destruction.
