    Hello fellow gamers,
    so I spend a few time at the "normal" servers (Dustbowl, AM1, AM2) and most of the people where complaining about the "lucky" critical hits, which mostly decide wheter the team wins or looses. Some asked if there is a no- crits server on LZ ( yes there is AM3, but it has no players on). Then one guy said:" How about a crit vote? Players can decide if they want to have or not have random crits." In my opinion I like this idea and I played on a critvote server ( I think it was a HH server). So now my question to you:
    1. Is there a way we might get a critvote?
    2. Do you people agree or disagree with me?

    I am too stupid to create a vote for that :/

    This has been discussed many many many times, the answer is and will stay no.
    Blame Valve. As soon as crits are turned off, the rating of the server gets destroyed and no more random players join. So no.

    haha most of the people (person) that posted it where admins (me) :lol:

    but like ashtray said, AM1 has a far to good rating to destroy because of the setting. AM2 could maybe work (think snelvuur ironed out the kinks on it) but yeah a NEW nocrit/critvote server will fail because of quickplay

    I kind of like the crits. They give the occassional epic moments when you fire a grenade at an engineer, and destroy both the sentry gun he was building and the dispenser he was holding, plus killing a soldier and his medic too. Yeah. Good times. 8)

    I wonder how many months it would take you to kill 3 people and 2 buildings using just 1 grenade, without random crits.

    All it takes is for 3 people and 2 buildings to actually be close together, then just aim in their general direction and shoot :D

    Yeah it's great when YOU get a lucky crit and kill people. However it isn't the same when you're the one thats dead.

    No it isn't, after you completely planned out with your Medic how to get them down and you just happen to fire a lucky crit that does the job. Feels undeserving.

    Today there was a guy on AM2. He was solly and had 15crit rockets on 20shots. Is that normal?
    Note for all people who think I am a really noobie player and I live behind the moon: No, the solly had no kritzkrieg medic..

    movie or it didn't happen.

    You can have multiple crits, but its also based on the damage you do. If he constantly kills people in rapid succession he can get more crits. But not 15 out of 20, if he does.. then it could be a cheater. You should record a movie next time and post it here (be it a .dem or a replay, doens't matter)

    Yes, someone said his name, but not his full name. It was like when I call you "Snel", so just a short form.

    Edit: I said his name in short form: legit <.< So it´s a player with legit in his name.
    2012-07-13 22:42:07 how many crit rockets you got legit?. [EU] Lethal-Zone.eu TF2 ALL MAPS #2 cp_egypt_final

    not necessarily hack, could be bug abusing too. Either way its worth a perm ban as long as we have reliable evidence like this ;)
