| + | 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.

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".

| − | == Disable crits in trivia ==
| + | :::::: Definitely exaggerating, but you do sometimes see scrubs win rounds with random headshots. In my opinion, these mechanics bring a layer of intensity to the game, but it seem like neither fans of these games took them well. I made this discussion page because I couldn't figure out how to fit it either, but it's out here now. Better have something than nothing. The end justifies the means, y'know? I should've expect this with a wiki, it's over-rigid. It's also just really confusing. We can figure it out by experimenting. I don't think spray has anything to do with it, though.

| − | == Redundant Links ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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'd fix this myself, but the error seems to lie within the achievement templates themselves. Example: Revengineering has a link to this page, as do many other achievements.

| |

| − | == "The crit boost electricity effect will randomly appear on its own in large quantities in the map at the end of a round." ==
| |
| − | I'm pretty sure this isn't random at all; the boost effect is being attached to spectators. Especially noticeable when someone who's being spectated has two boost effects, one on their weapon and one near their head. [[User:Dragonsbrethren|Dragonsbrethren]] 15:02, 13 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Combat Text ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.

| − | == Maximum Mini-Crit Damage Question ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 know that from personal experience all criticals have a pronounced knockback effect on airborne targets (be it from explosive, melee, or hitscan damage).

| − | == Critical Hit Chance, Erroneous Information ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.

| − | == Maximum Melee Crit Chance. ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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%. We already had a source that suggests the maximum crit chance is 65%, but I have yet to see any evidence that suggests a 25% chance.

| |
| − | | |
| − | :: I'm sorry, but I haven't seen any evidence ''against'' a 65% crit chance, and I did test it myself, using the itemtest map and some bots as engineer, and it really does look like it has a 65% cap. After allowing my sentry to fire on it's own for a while, I destroyed it and started meleeing the bots. It seemed to be roughly two thirds (66%) of my melee attacks were crits.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Could it be that melee weapons use a unique crit combo system? Rather than thinking of a melee weapon as a single shot weapon where each swing has the same critical hit chance, what if Valve made it so that after a critical hit is successfully rolled another critical hit combo is more likely to happen. That would skew the percentage to be really high if you are doing nothing but meleeing 100 bots in a row. I have no proof on this, just something that I thought might be possible because of how the system works for rapid fire weapons. [[User:Rolen47|Rolen47]] ([[User talk:Rolen47|talk]]) 09:13, 13 October 2013 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The test which was performed which led to this whole discrepancy (and what is referenced on the main page) is flawed. If you max out your crit chance then attack 100 times, it doesn't mean that the crit chance is 65 if you land 65/100 crits. [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2221 This is the official summary by Valve.] It is still relevant since the crit system has not been changed since. Since no one can definitively confirm about the 'new' crit chance, I think it's better to just use what Valve has stated it is. Changing it back for now.

| − | :Can confirm. I recorded 1000 hits, scored around 641. I can redo, if you like (it was a pain). By hitting an enemy with every swing, I guarantee my damage to be over the 800 cap. I also ran the test without--got 15% (which agrees). Again, I can record (oh gods) if you want. There are intermediate tests which can be done (sun on a stick) to generate the graph... if someone else is willing to do that.
