timescale controls how fast everything in game is. All timings in the game, such as repeat rates on attacks, movement speeds, or the speed animations play at, are effectively multiplied by this value, so if timescale is set to 2 then everything will go at double speed, and if set to 0.5 then everything will run at half speed.
timescale is cheat protected as changing it can cause serious issues to gameplay.
The main use of this setting is for when playing back demos, you can use it as a sort of fast forward or slow-mo feature.
