Does it run on Mac?

Before jumping the fence and possibly complaining in tech forum, I rather ask here.
Will this game run in sufficient speed on OSX 10.85 with a Parallels 9 / Win7 installation? Parallels supports DX9 and DX10.
I got a 15" MacBook Pro Retina. Specs are Core i7 / 2,3 Ghz, 8 Ghz Ram, Nvidia Gforce GT 650M (1 Ghz), 256 Ghz SSD. In addition, I use a 27" Thunderbolt Display, 2560 x 1440 resolution as second monitor and I'd like to play on the large screen.

Pretty close to my specs and it runs fine. I am thinking that on a MAC you would have to have a windows emulator...on that respect I think you would need to check with someone who has done it. I am sure I have read some are running it in that matter...

Well, Parallels9 is virtual machine on Mac which runs Win7 pretty well, but probably not as fast as a native Windows installation by dual-boot and I won't do that.

I have used VM and it works great. Since a super video card is not needed I think you will be fine then...
