But when you put random chance into combat mechanics all strategy has been thrown out the window then scraped off the ground and used to pick up the broken glass
Getting kill streaks doesn't make that much of a difference. It should be something like 0.01% if you have 0 kill streak, 5% for 1 kill streak, 10% for 2, 15% for 3, 20% for 4, 25% for 5 then maybe increases slightly after that. At the moment its too random. Doesn't reward you for streaks more likely you'll get critted by someone who has just spawned while you are on a streak.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

Your current streak, K/D ratio as well as the weapon you are using affect the rate at which you can score a critical hit. Also Critical hits are important as a counter measure for stalemates, without them the game would come to a standstill more often.
That's outright incorrect. The base crit levels for most weapons (save the melee weapons) are very low. A play who has just spawned in has an almost 0 chance of getting a crit unless he is using a melee weapon. Not only that but the crit rate of the more powerful weapons, such as the sniper-rifle, flamethrower and Minigun are even lower than that of the Shotguns, SMG and pistols. The critical hit system is much more random than it seems, with everything you do influences the likelyhood. Being Uber-Charged increases the change more than anything else, while captures and defenses scored in a life increase it by a higher percentage than getting a kill or assist. APeter wrote:

Either I'm unlucky as fuck or the above is utter bullshit.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

This is the Aids killing TF2. ^^LaidBackNinja wrote:
Cry more. I like critical hits, they make the game more unpredictable. You can't just stand in the open and think you'll be fine because you have full hp, you always have to watch for that killer crit. It also makes the game more fun, providing crazy situations. If you guys didn't notice already, tf2 isn't uber-serious. Look at the graphic style ffs. If you want serious and non-random, play css.

having maps that arnt made for camping break stalemates, crits work for the defenders just as much as the attackers, crits just give idiots who suck at TF2 (which is one of the easiest games, that requires barely any skill for any class) the chance to get a kill that they didnt deservekptk92 wrote:
Critical hits were obviously created to break stalemates, just like the ubercharge. No-one whines about the ubercharge, so quit bitching about critical hits, Valve wouldn't of included it in the game if it was going to cause a serious unbalance within the game
You have to CHARGE the damn ubercharge. With your example crits are like medics going to uber-state at totally random.kptk92 wrote:
