XQuartz is better than crossover X11

Probably yes, but Crossaver X11 have a far better support for ATI/AMD and Intel GMA cards than Xquartz.

Xquartz devs have to-do list about implementation of the same improvements for those cards but it will take some times.

As I always said : god bless Nvidia :p

But I am using a Nvidia card, or at least OS X should be switching to the GeForce 330M for graphically intensive applications.

I tried to reinstall. After downloading and closing Steam, wine's DX begins to install. In the terminal, the following line is repeated:
"err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144"

Changing to 1.2.1-cxg results in the same problem after pressing "play" when Steam does some first-time running stuff.

Edit:
@GNU_Raziel: Installing from the DVD, the setup window appears for a split second before disappearing. Perhaps the problem isn't with 1.3.8 as we had suspected.

Can't you force the use of the Nvidia chip ?

The DX error is procude but DX install at 100% right ? This bug is reported fixed with wine 1.3.8, a new 1.3.8 build for OSX will be aviable soon.

Yes, I tried forcing OS X to use the GeForce, but same error.

Yes, DirectX finishes installing despite the errors in the console.

I have another computer running Ubuntu 10.10. I tried POL. Unlike on OS X, the DVD setup ran fine. However, when trying to play the actual game (with wine 1.3.8), I ran into the same error I did when trying to run on OS X:

err:ole:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd (nil)
err:ole:RevokeDragDrop invalid hwnd 0x1012c

On that computer, I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce 7800 Go and I have NVIDIA's drivers enabled, though it is failing when Steam is simply "completing installation" as before.

Although I realize that this is the wrong forum to be posting about POL, surely this must mean that the problem isn't limited to just OS X.

What the !??
It's unbeleavable, I do not had this error when I made the POL Installer, tested with Direct2Drive version.

I don't have money to buy the retail DVD for now to make some more tests...

I can't believe I will write this : use the Skidrow "fix" to test if the game launch...If yes, this is definitly a Steam issue.

Using the skidrow hack, POM was able to launch the game (although I can't play online for obvious reasons).

I believe Steam tries to do some post-installation stuff but fails there.

The strange thing is that according to reports in WineHQ, some have successfully run COD:BO, installed from both Steam and DVD...

Yes I know it's reported working, that's why I do not understand why it fail for you...

For the skidrow fix, it disable Multiplayer (because it do not connect to steam, it just emulate a generic connexion), that's why you can't play online.

Anyway, your problem has been reported to AppDB in a comment Here not by me but a friend (I thx him btw). Let's hope wine dev will find and fix those issue quickly.

I've made new modification :
-It will now install latest Steam BEFORE installing the game.

I've tested Steam install with wine 1.3.7 and 1.3.8 and it worked with POL and POM so I hope doing this the DVD setup will skip the Steam install part and only extract game files.

Please test and report.

Nope. I think the Steam setup is a necessary step for installing COD:BO. In the terminal, same message:
err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144

This is only happening on Mac OS X, though. At any rate, Steam will have to complete the installation later, which also fails.
