don't think so.

The units move way too fast. The building animations are way too fast. I don't remember what it's called, but the heavy-weapons facility that makes bikes, tanks, etc. has an add-on that's got some sprockets that go around WAY too fast.

lag... on an 8 year old game?! :confused:

hey, there's still the occasional lagger ;)

i'll have to check the video again.. but it looked like the guys were moving at relatively normal speeds. there are two possibilities IMO:

1) the video is, in fact, sped up.
2) the game is being played on faster/fastest gameplay speed and the video is not altered

edit: yeah, it's either on fastest or sped up. but even sped up, the guy still clicks fast as $hit

talk about a return on your video card investment :Q

except the fact that pretty much anyone can play this game with a system from 1994 and newer...

closer to 350/400 now


they do waypoint spam to measure it. but sc players are a zillion times more impressive than war3 pros.

wouldnt' the sound be wrong if it were sped up?
