Is it possible to enable random crits again ?

Postby NapZ » 19 Aug 2011, 12:46

Hi,

First of all, thanks for changing the rotation, I am glad you did it (don't forget about the votemap stuff though, I bet it would be very useful to add it on the servers). But actually I'm still wondering why you disabled random crits ? In my opinion it adds a lot of fun to the game (even if sometimes it can be annoying) and a lot of weapons have a "No random crits" drawback, so it makes them a bit less balanced than usual and more powerful.

+ not hearing the crit sound when backstabbing is so sad :(

Thanks for reading me again, bye !

Lol, if they turn random crits back on, I'm blaming NapZ! I'm random criting your argument by saying I love playing with no random crits. With fixed spread it's even better.

Personally, I think all crits should be turned off as they are very annoying! But the new server matchmaking system classes crits ON as vanilla doesn't it? And fixed spread should be on all servers :D But that's just my opinion :)

Random crits must be vanilla, at a guess, otherwise the "no random crits" on weapons wouldn't be much of a disadvantage, as Napz said.

Personally, I quite liked random crits on #1, it marries quite with an instant respawn spam-server. I knew that #4 or was a place to go if I wanted closer to fair/competitive play (although sadly that server rarely has anybody on it , I don't think).

What he said. It adds more fun to the game in my opinion.

Random crits on #1 wouldn't be that bad. At the end of the day, it's an instaspawn server. So, whilst annoying when you die from a random crit, it's not such a huge issue on an instant spawn spammy time server like #1 :P

This. I hate random crits with a passion. Random game mechanics like that unbalance the game more than quite a few of the weapons in TF2 do. It rewards playing badly whilst punishes good players and the increased crit rate with the more damage you do can reward good players but punished new and players that aren't that all great, both sides can get them but it's pretty unbalanced and is unfair no matter who fires/receives the crit shot.

although I dont play TF2 anymore, random crits were the most shitty crap thing that ever was. It rewarded the spammers. I wont vote though as I dont want to impact a game I dont play - just my two penneth.

The amount of times a well-coordinated push (which can happen quite rarely in pub servers) is ruined by a single random crit by a player on the opposing team (usually a Black Box nab spamming from a window) reflects how unfair, broken and entirely fucked random crits are. Valve implemented random crits to make the game more accessible to new players by giving them a chance to get kills when the odds are against them, but I like to think our community has grown out of the need for them on some of the the 'main' GTFO servers.

I'd be happy seeing them removed from all of the servers, but instant respawn is broken anyway so unless you've been noticing more stalemates recently on #1,#2 and #6 then there isn't really a need to take out the random crits.
