Crits on/off?

Postby Darkfoxx » Thu Mar 27, 2008 3:56 pm

After talking with members from other clans that are on CAL, they want a good no crits pub server that they can play on. I think our server is a prime candidate for this since we already have a solid clan user base. What do you guys think? I want alot of people to vote on this since it's quite a big change. If you play on our server, tell other people to stop by our forums and vote.

It can only help us, since all the good leagues are no crit.

I don't think taking crits off would be good for the pub, but I'd be agreeable to trying it for a few days. The pub is for fun, scrims are for getting better (and fun).

Yeah if they were to be turned off, it would only be for a trial period. I should of mentioned that...

off permently crits are just stupid and taking them off will not break the game. Pubbers would just get less kills cuz o look they dont get lucky shots to bad for them.
What's necessary in a fight isn't fear.
Nothing can be born from that.
If you dodge, "I won't let them cut me".
If you protect someone, "I won't let them die".
If you attack, "I'll cut them".

I think crits are a dumb idea in a shooter, but thats just my opinion. I don't play TF2 so I won't vote.

Crits on. But by saying that, I guess I'm just a noob who can only get kills when I crit. :(

if we do crits off do it on a secondary
come on boys n girls save your pennies
lets not hurt what we ahve already rather give an alternative that doesnt discriminate against a given choice in method of playing

my opinion has changed

Postby Kutcher » Tue Apr 01, 2008 2:52 pm

I used to think crits were a part of the game and shouldn't be removed but i changed my mind. Crits are what allow bad players to kill good players, and certain classes are all but obsolete with crits on; heavys are useless unless their criting or shooting at a group of scouts, and pyros are pathetic unless they're criting.
Demomen and soldiers have a huge advantage with crits on, with crits off everything evens out and instead of the player class determining who wins a fight its the players skill.

Anyways, thats just my opinion and i understand that removing them from the pub might suck, but we should at least try it out, i like the 1 hour a day thing, its jokes.

Even though I voted to keep crits on I think the better option is testing no crits on the server. Not for an hour here or there but for an entire weekend. Well play it out and see what happens.

In my opinion, taking crits off ruins tons of things that are supposed to have high crit rates.

Such as:

a medic bonesaw: completely useless with a lack of crits.

simply put, a crit in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

It adds and element of chance to the game which makes it different from all the other shooters out there.

If it was part of the game to begin with, I think part of the game it should stay.
