In this [https://web.archive.org/web/20151121184600/https://www.1up.com/features/beyond-the-box?pager.offset=5 archived interview], they talk about the inspiration of random critical hits. I believe TF2's random damage spread and random bullet spread were inspired by Counter-Strike's random bullet spread and own damage spread. Seems like they were inspired by playing Counter-Strike all around. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive apparently removed random bullet spread and random damage spread, and TF2 has patched out random damage spread and made it a convar.

I've noticed, specifically in the achievement section, that there are links that lead to the Critical hit page (this one), despite the page itself being the Critical hit page.

I don't believe that the 'Critical Hit!!!' text not being displayed is a bug, this was clearly intentional, they even defined a different font to use for crits. It should be noted somewhere in the article itself, and I may do that later if I have the time. If anything is a bug it's that the 'Mini Crit!' text is still displayed when a teammate scores a mini crit, instead of showing the damage they did. When a Medic is healing a teammate they see all of the damage their patient is causing, and it makes sense that the same would apply to Jarate and other mini-crit assists.

So it says [[Critical hit|Mini-Crits]] inflict 35% more damage. Does this mean that Mini-Crits will also inflict 35% more damage at close range, turning the maximum non-Crit ramp-up from 150% of normal (or 175% for [[Scout]] [[Scattergun|shotguns]], & less for a few other weapons, like [[Stickybomb Launcher|stickies]]) to 202.5% of normal, or does the max ramp-up remain the same, so the Mini-Crit range is only from 135% to 150% of normal?

I can't find any references to the relationship between crits/mini-crits and knockback in either this article or the knock back article.

About the cerossbow, does range affect crit dmg? Also, reading gunsalinger crit, there is a slight mistake. It crits on hitting a player on the third swing. U can hit an ally twice, then hit an enemy for a crit.[[User:Nibelhim|Nibelhim]] 05:35, 4 November 2011 (PDT)

I added this as a comment in the section, but I'll post it here too: "Just as a note: I removed the erroneous information regarding the 50% melee critical hit chance. The test being done by the reference is flawed: Doing something 100 times is not indicative of its critical hit chance (I.E: Attacking 100 times and getting 64 critical hits does NOT mean that the chance to critically hit is 64%, that's a fallacy). The graph to the right clearly shows the ramp-up and where it flatlines." The test being performed is relying on inaccuracies to come up with its conclusion.  [[User:Odin(Reborn)|Odin(Reborn)]] 09:58, 27 April 2013 (PDT)
 
−
:The difference of 64% versus 25% is quite significant. I wouldn't dismiss the data based on "Well it's not what valve says it is". To me, this requires further testing. The article was not claiming that it was exactly 64%, it was merely pointing out that this number seemed high.

Can we get a source that suggests the maximum melee crit chance is 25%? To my knowledge, the maximum crit chance IS sixty-five percent, but it seems that people think it's 25%.

Counter-Strike's random bullet spread headshotting you several times to a quick death was the inspiration of random critical hits.

In this archived interview, they talk about the inspiration of random critical hits. I believe TF2's random damage spread and random bullet spread were inspired by Counter-Strike's random bullet spread and own damage spread. Seems like they were inspired by playing Counter-Strike all around. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive apparently removed random bullet spread and random damage spread, and TF2 has patched out random damage spread and made it a convar.

The Internet Archive is being DDOSed right now, so I can't check the source right now but it sounds like this is something you inferred from the text, rather than something that was implicitly stated?

Looking at the interview, and I have two points to make:
  1. I don't know which Counter-Strike Robin Walker played where he "[happens] to get lucky at times and get five consecutive headshots", but I wish I played that one.
  2. Seems like random crits are partially inspired by Counter-Strike's spread pattern system. The only issue is that it's not really mentioned in the article explicitly, and (imo) it feels kind of odd to mention "random crits are inspired by the spread pattern system in Counter-Strike sometimes causing a "lucky headshot"". This feels more like saying "Robin Walker being bad at spray control in CS is what inspired random crits".
