I love and hate this game. I've been playing CS:GO since.. well, since CS existed. I'm not the best but I'm not the worst, and I've loved the game for awhile. I'm a very competitive person, so playing a shooter where actual strategy is involved sometimes is nice. I actually don't game much at all anymore other than CS, if that tells you anything.

My biggest complaint with this game is the toxicity of some of the people that play it. If there's not a smurf or a hacker in EVERY SINGLE matchmaking competitive game, there's at least 1 guy who is a complete knob. Best advice is to not worry too much about rank (at least if you play regular MM comp) and just enjoy it. And play with friends if you can. If you want real competitive, go to ESEA or something. I play there when my friend who I regularly play with isn't around (since he doesn't have ESEA). Either that or hope and pray Prime Matchmaking doesn't suck.
