    There is no real point, seeing as most people are fine with the C&C3/RA3 game speed. Being able to change the difficulty has also replaced changing the game speed, and changing the difficulty means you can make the game more challenging for pros or more friendly for newcomers.

    And back in 95 the default speed in TD was quite fine, yet I doubt anyone still plays with that today.


    Sounds like a good feature and as long as its not for MP games, I cant see a disadvantage in adding it.

    In the older C&C games the various game speeds in my eyes only made the AI move and ramp up against you quicker. As far as the game speed option increasing FPS....not sure that was the design behind it in the first place.

    The FPS increase (rather decrease with slower game speed) was due to SAGE's link between FPS and game time (30 Frames equaled one second of game time), the older games did change the game speed directly and only that.

    Too the people saying people where fine with RA3 that is because you didn't have a choice but to be fine..... I m sorry but i skipped it because of that and i know a HUGE old school community who didn't stick with it.

    And saying everyone will use the highest setting is utterly stupid if you are new to the game and you put it on 10x RA3 speed you going to get bum rushed cause your brain isnt fast enough... your assuming the speed slider wouldn't be a big difference but what im asking for is VERY VERY fast setting in fact so fast that id like them to add a speed no human can play so then they at least know they have covered the full spectrum.

    I'm old school so you youngens wouldn't know but game speed on rts is the bomb and allows a much more customized approach, I'm telling you NOT everyone likes CRAZY fast so don't be so silly in saying EVERYONE is like you that's retarded.

    Adding it you loose no one not adding it will cause upset for those wanting it. Simple.

    Thanks

    Precisely the point don't you think??????????... and if your brain is fast enough you keep up or you don't an turn down the speed until you are fast enough.

    Difficulty - only makes the AI have more energy and use higher level tactics (so while it is harder for your tanks to take out there tanks you STILL have to spend 30 min building that army even know you know what you want to do and you are thinking 10 steps ahead it ends up being a waiting game which is boring as hell)

    Game speed - Allows you to build that army faster and carry out your strats faster but the ai also moves faster too

    To put it politely - you have a serious problem.

    Feel free to criticise everyone's ideas but do not just attack people because you disagree with them.

    first, please dont triple post as its considered spam. you can use "edit" anytime you want.
    second, im talking because of experience. as i mentioned before starcraft and starcraft 2 are both always played on max speed, tiberian sun - also max speed.
    if they make the speed so high that its unplayable then theres no reason to have such a speed. if they add adjustable speed it will be something like 50%-200% of normal speed. i highly doubt 1000% speed increase.

    You know why those games are played on highest speed ???? because there old and everyone GASP upped the speed because they got good ....


    But as i said above give any strat game a year and most should be on the highest setting but not after building up to it so actually you totally agree that if there is no speed setting your limiting the growth of the game and there for the replay ability.

    Id say you need the game to get to such a high speed of game play to keep people challenged and if you don't have an adjustment people will simply die over and over in skirmish and never evolve.

    We HAVE to be able to set our own game speed. Every day before i go to bed i like to knock out a quick round of ZH. I would not be able to this with out fast game speed. It has to be in the new version.
