You cannot install COH2 on MacOS. You pretty much need a native Windows installation. If you set up a Windows partition through boot camp you should not have any issues. I have been playing vcoh on my a 15-inch Mac Book Pro for years with such setup.

My name is SturmTigerGaddafi aka Daddy G and I am not only da best coh2 player but I am quite possibly da best man dat ever lived! #MVGame
QUITE POSSIBLY DA BEST GAME OF COH2 EVER PLAYED #Kreygasm

If you have a newer iMac with a dedicated graphics, you should be fine. Assuming you have a Windows partition via boot camp of course.

You may well have trouble playing CoH2 on that, or any game for that matter. A lot of stuff has real trouble rendering stuff in 4/5k. I don't even know if CoH2 is set up to scale like that, I doubt very much it is. And even if it does, I reckon the sizing etc of the UI and things will be hideous. I wouldn't suggest buying a 5k iMac and running CoH2, unless you have money to burn. Hell, people with Retina MBPs have had similar scaling problems, and not just with CoH2. With retina displays, or displays with really high pixel counts, even normal programs are having trouble scaling and rendering properly, let a long any kind of game engine, especially one as screwed as Relics!

Sorry to be a kill joy, but proceed with caution.
