I donīt get that. On my computer, the troops moves with a normal speed, it does not take long to cross the map, even on XL maps. But of course, thatīs singleplay. Maybe the internet games are lagging then? I havenīt had time to try that. And yes, Iīm used to fast games, Iīve played most RTS games, including Starcraft. And when I say itīs too fast, I mean the tanks who can easily run over loads of infantry. This makes it almost impossible to fight tanks with infantry. On the other hand, it takes a while to put up a base and mass up an army, maybe too long. This is maybe not good for internet games, but I suppose it is to prevent rushing.
And donīt tell me Protoss is fast, I agree a game with Zerg can be very fast (too fast). But this message board is for D2k discussion, not SC so I wonīt argue more about that.

: (from Tommy T)- i want to start by saying that i dont want to be rude,i play starcraft,dark reighn, total A, i own them all and play them all, i play only online vs other humans, after playing these games to the point of total burnout,i was excited to ad dune2000 to my collection..but the game play is slower than any game im used to, in fact it drags to the point of frustration waiting on your troops to move across the map, in a six player map,to help your allie and have to go to opposite sides of the map is all but out of the question because by the time they get there its all over, this to me was a major flaw in the game(to slow of troop movement), and let me finish by saying that my computer speed is well beyond the norm and also my friends i play with, i think that your not used to games that move along,if you say that the game play is sometimes "to fast" then never play starcraft at fastest vs good players bcause youll never last more than 10 seconds, i have to laugh, to fast thats funny
