Critical hits

[EzCrash]

Does anyone know if critical hits are completely random or if there is a way to increase your chances of getting one ?

I would think crouching would improve your chances of getting critical hits but this does not seem to be the case.

They're pretty much random; according to the commentary, you get them more frequently when you're "doing better". So if you get a bunch of kills in a row, you'll have a higher chance of getting critical hits for a little while.

Pyro's have a critical hit bonus that is timed. It may be a certain timer and if the person isn't flamed for a second or so, it stops the timer etc etc

The more you kill/live/etc, the more of a chance you get to have criticals.

That's cool. I just wish that when crouching you also got an added chance of a critical hit. It would make sense that crouching would steady your aim and add accuracy ( ie. critical hit ).

Why do soldiers seem to have the most criticals?

Rocket spam = Splash damage to numerous targets.

There's something about seeing them that stirs me on.

If you're looking for realistic reactions, you've come to the wrong game

I mean, it would also make sense that shooting a rocket under your feet, flying 20 feet in the air and falling back would not let you live to tell about it

Because then everybody would be doing it for that extra crit, which would take that "random" bit out of it that much more. I'm glad they don't have it...this game doesn't have room for any sort of realisticness.

Tbh I stress very much for Valve to take this silly RPG element out of the game. I mean 1 super-charged rocket takes out a heavy, wtf?!?!
