I rarely play Sniper, and when I do I'm awful, so I don't get many headshots, but I could swear every headshot flashed with the "CRITICAL HIT" icon.
So are there critical criticals?
Headshots with the scoped sniper rifle are crits, no matter once. You can still crit with the sniper rifle, but it does nothing extra if you hit the head.
I managed to fire axe Flippy and marty in the same round today. I'm sure it was mostly due to the weird lag spikes, but still it's comforting to know I'll never be able to do anything that awesome ever again.

I batted Marty to death on dustbowl today, he was a soldier. It was good times.
I also witnessed a successful defense of the final blue cap point in the final stage of hydro. And was part of the defense. Amazing stuff.
Lotsa fun on dustbowl today. Blind and I were pretty much chain ubering people non-stop to keep that last spot defended. Then 2fort loads and I decide to try soldier instead of medic and get my ass handed to me.

Also, heroic defense on the last point in dustbowl, you know the one.
Pope, yeah that sucked, you came running up the stairs as medic and I popped you with a crit railgun shot. Then I proceeded to chop down some people. The Medic on our team kept ubering me.
Mr Embark is looking good
Hooray sparklers
Duldonkulus reflects on the horror of it all
Does it hurt when I do this?

So I went around killing Demiurge and Flippy_D tonight without being instantly revenge-dominated, and it was good. I've found there's no point trying to out-snipe those guys, ambush tactics as a soldier or heavy work far better.
Demoman has become my "expert" class, for some reason. Fuck knows when that happened, but I get far more kills with sticky traps and pipebombs than anything else under the sun.
Well... except for Mumblyfish or DrIanMalcolm-assisted Uber Heavy of Justice Deployment Go Now Super Fun Happy Attack. 10+ kill streaks ensue.
Haha thanks. Uber'd heavies/pyros are like the hand of God

If your a spy and are sap battling an engi with a crowd around you, jam c-2 (i think) its the "THAT _______ IS A SPY" command. It works flawlessly on pubs, and sometimes on PA.
I got an engineer to chase a pyro on his team around the map with a wrench, while I sapped his stuff. That was so ace.

I figured out how to play Demo. Sticky doorways, so the enemy cant see. Don't run in, shooting stickys. Just toss a couple nades, then run back sticky a door, and kablam!
I got 2 medics and a heavy on PA server yesterday with that, when they capped A and were going to go through C to B. I just saw I was outgunned, so i ran back stickied the entrance to C from A and
taunted.
God it felt good to be a gangsta.
Proof:
oh wait, one of those must have been from a spammed grenade :-(
Thought I'd post some pics I find amusing. Everything's at 1680x1050 since I'm too lazy to convert the image sizes; every pic is still under 200kb though:
This may be the most terrifying and best TF2 pic I have captured:
For someone named Angry he sure looks happy
That medic doesn't make it:
I love the expression on this Soldier's face
This is what happens if you hang out on the roof of the hut near blue's spawn, and a Heavy notices you
His Medic buddy is gone and he looks a little worried:
What I don't get is a lot of old preview videos (like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=6N_hagoLgUA which is cut from preview videos) show a cool cartoony muzzle flash for the heavy

Why was that taken out? It looks so good
I thought my computer wasn't cool enough to get this effect!

Haha, that's exactly the face I make when I'm down that much health as a heavy. I also just noticed the medic glasses on the ground behind me, next to the top half of his body.

That was a pretty epic fight.
How the hell did you guys manage that
90% of it is in locking down the vent. If RED has it, they can sticky your left spawn door (closer to the point), as well as practically drop down directly onto the point, and possibly behind a lot of your defense. You cannot defend the last BLU point without a demo, pyro, or heavy locking the vent down from below (preferably demo).

Usually though, if you have a team that can organize that, you usually don't get pushed back to your base to begin with.

Nah, someone just has to take charge of it themselves and let everyone know they are. Either that or not die at all.
Could we have a mappack for all current custom maps being used on the server? I'd like to install everything at one go instead of waiting intermittently for a map to finish being downloaded, especially for the larger maps. Or at least a list of custom maps being used would be nice so that I could find them myself.

There's nothing better then sniping people in their own base And just for reference, a 100% charged sniper shot will kill even a heavy with a medic.

It can also kill or maim most anything with even a body shot, but we good snipers *cough* never do such things...

Annnd no you don't even need to worry about the vent. Maybe sticky it with one demo, but honostly there's about 3-4 solid spots where sentries can stay up and still hard to kill as long as their lvl 3. when you're going down the sloped ramp, right at the bottom look to your left. there will be a spot lodged between the staircase and the wall where you can hide a sentry and yourself and it literally owns people (highest i got was 11 kills on it)

We had 1 there and mine is slightly visible in the screen shot. This allowed a good crossfire on the right entrance, making even uber pushes really hard, since people kept getting pushed into a wall.
Ohh and it sweet to finally make a screen shot (Thorin.PA)

ahhh nice so you're Thorin? I was wondering who you were
that spot to the right in the screen shot, where i was talking about at the end of the ramp, is PERFECT.
what you do is position the dispenser on the top stair, and sentry below you on the ground and you're right in the middle of both.
anyone remember which one of you is from North Reading, Massachusetts? I was talkin the other day to one of you bout it.

Crit sniper headshots cause the ragdoll to cartwheel, in a very hilarious way.
I once did it to a sniper on 2fort, the cartwheeling corpse flew past a pyro, who looked at the corpse instead of running away.
I was then backstabbed, it was a crit.
So are there critical criticals?

I'll do this tomorrow I think.
Donate or order a gameserver and help out!
That was a pretty epic fight.
Dustbowl was some good fun tonight also. It's always fun to have awesome medics on your team, Job and Rius :^:

This Demoman is above the conflict and is just sort of hanging out swimming. That's also probably why his team lost.
Being telefragged is the most humiliating why I've ever been killed in the game so far, but I guess that is what I get for trying to sap Teleporters.
So I had lots of death by mechanical device, but knowing that it was just about to be disable made it a little easier.
That heavy is just kind of hanging out.
I sympathize with Mumblyfish here, because this has happened so often to me. Running backwards shooting at someone while on fire. It sucks.
