Counter-Strike's random bullet spread headshotting you several times to a quick death was the inspiration of random critical hits.
In this archived interview, they talk about the inspiration of random critical hits. I believe TF2's random damage spread and random bullet spread were inspired by Counter-Strike's random bullet spread and own damage spread. Seems like they were inspired by playing Counter-Strike all around. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive apparently removed random bullet spread and random damage spread, and TF2 has patched out random damage spread and made it a convar.

- The Internet Archive is being DDOSed right now, so I can't check the source right now but it sounds like this is something you inferred from the text, rather than something that was implicitly stated?

- Looking at the interview, and I have two points to make:
- I don't know which Counter-Strike Robin Walker played where he "[happens] to get lucky at times and get five consecutive headshots", but I wish I played that one.
- Seems like random crits are partially inspired by Counter-Strike's spread pattern system. The only issue is that it's not really mentioned in the article explicitly, and (imo) it feels kind of odd to mention "random crits are inspired by the spread pattern system in Counter-Strike sometimes causing a "lucky headshot"".
