Crouching is a feature that reduces the area of your character, making you a smaller and less visible target. This can make tasks such as defending Sentry Guns, sniping, pushing Payload carts and ambushing easier. Crouch-jumping also facilitates rocket jumping, and crouch-jumping will increase the distance one jumps. Some obstacles require you to crouch-jump on top or over them as crouching in mid-air brings your legs and feet up.
When crouching, the character will move much slower than the default movement speed. But unlike running, your backward and forward speeds are identical. The default key for a crouch is "Ctrl" in the PC version, "O" in the PlayStation 3 version, and "X" in the Xbox 360 version. Crouching can be selected to toggle in the "Options" menu.
When crouching, your character will move 66% slower except when you are a Sniper who is scoped in (98.67% slower) or aiming an arrow (85% slower) or a Heavy with his Minigun revved (immobile).
Crouching does not increase your accuracy when firing a weapon, unlike in other Source games.
