TF2 Style criticals? Always co-op, whaaaaaat?

Criticals are pretty obviously generated on head shots, not a random occurrence.

I see. Thank you for pointing this out. I wonder why it just doesn't say 'headshot' then?

Probably because other enemies will have different weak points. Kind of like the normal flood forms in Halo 3.

I won't lie though, it is definitely possible with the skill trees they have for weapons that some weapons will have random crits or building up a crit meter or something. That does not strike me as unrealistic from we have seen so far.

This is all true.

You can see the spider tank "opening" a few times for a nice glowy fudge centre you can shoot for massive damage. I am willing to bet this is a "Critical" area.

I can very much see a situation where "Shots fired for the next 3 seconds are criticals" is a high-level and long-cooldown Spacemagic power.
