critical hit. it's a random element, you have a chance every time you fire to do bonus damage. In the case of rockets and grenades it also has the added effect of doing full damage throughout the splash radius instead of less as you get far away from it.

crit shots glow the colour of the team that fired it.

there's no way to force them, but if you go on a long killing streak without dying they can become more frequent.

omfg listen to the frakkin developer's commentary people! The frequency of crits are based on how well you're doing. So if you stay alive a really long time you're going to crit more. Destroy a bunch of buildings, defend a lot of points. Esentially doing shit that gets you in mvp means you're going to crit more.

You can't tell me that since my third shot in a pub is a crit, it's because I'm doing well, as the game just started.

Do me a favor, get a dictionary and look up the work frequency. Then look up the word random. When you fully understand the difference between those two words, please, reply again.

Shut the fuck up Vifoxe, crits are gay end of story, having something based off randomness (frequency doesn't matter) in a FPS is fucking stupid. Stop being a gay faggot and realize that. They ruined their game with it.

Again, listen to the developer's commentary. TF2 is all about momentum. The critical hit system is a gameplay mechanic to help those who are doing well to build more momentum. Respawn is also proportional to your performance, in addition respawn on assault maps are generally shorter for offense.

Valve didn't ruin the game, you just fail at comprehending and utilizing their gameplay mechanics.

PS, do me another favor, learn to form an argument that isn't a mishmash of insults and random accusations.

Go play wow if you want some dice rolling elements to fuck with your pvp you fucking faggots

losing to someone because they got something that is luck based even though youre obviously better than them is fucking stupid

you could be dominating a map, in MVP status, have a 50% CRIT FREQUENCEY and some noob playing soldier can get a lucky rocket and 1 shot you with a crit BECUASE ITS LUCK BASED AND FUCKING STUPID

if you disagree take the dicks out of your hands and stop rolling your face across the keyboard and play for real you dirty jew faggots i hope you all get cancer. in the head.

It's almost worth arguing just to get these guys so worked up they pop a blood vessel. The volume of needlessly hostile 'if you disagree, then you are clearly homosexual' arguments, and lack of anything besides telling people they suck dick is a surefire way to sway others to agree with you.

I'm going to say 9 years old.

Thank you for resorting to calling us young children when in fact we aren't and we have a lot of experience with FPS' in the competition world and realize what random crits can do to a game in the world of skill. Have fun with your broken game.
