This a game that takes skill and effort. Before buying this game you better buy a mic or have one or you will contibute less than all the other players. The game is based off of communication and teamwork....play as a team, not man. That might be a weird saying but its true. One thing you need to be careful of is a group of people call "smurfs". I personally think they ruin the game because what they are is higher ranks playing in the lower ranks normally "carrying" their friends. Also there is something called "carrying". You dont want to be "carried" in the lower ranks because they will talk down to you like they're better. Before playing comp learn the basic's of spray patterns and so what. Learn how to use nades to your advantage. Also you need to pick a main. I would suggest the AK47. The AK will be your best friend because it is one of the hardest weapons to learn but is the most contributing. You wil find that out when you get it down. I made the mistake of not learning it well enough and now I need to practice.......A LOT. Well when you get into the game learn the: AK-47, AWP, P90, M4(anyone) and also eco weapons. Hope you enjoy this game and please give it a try....I think you'll like................................................................P.S. Dont be toxic
