So here's the thing, Ive recently started playing CS:GO, and well, I suck. I've come a long way in the 40 hours or so I've played (a lot of the time on the game 15hours or so, is just where I had the game idling while I did other things. But the damn community is toxic. Yesterday for example, round 7, my score is 5/2/3 with one of the deaths being a team kill. We're playing dust 2, I run to cover A doors, wait 20 seconds and start to rotate to B, next thing I know I'm last man standing, and theres a vote to kick me, because CT rushed A via catwalk. I was the only person with a headset, apparently they were all telling me in the chat to turn around, ,but I dont read the fucking chat while I'm clearing corners etc.

So ya, anyways, would love to find some other US guys/gals to play with that will help me learn and not just kick me every time I fuck up. If this is you, comment here then send me a friend request. I generally play in the mornings, because I work nights, but thats not a set in stone thing.

If you were in Australia, I would have added you. I dont mind playing with new guys and I love teaching.
Or if you don't mind I could add you on my smurf. I play overseas servers quite often with my smurf. Can still be fun :P

Russian CS is a joke, especially if you play with kids. I played 4 times with Russian kids and they fucked up every single game.

I'll give you some advice hopefully you can find useful:

Since you are starting out make learning the game as simple as possible. I would suggest 1 of these two, or switch between these methods:

1) Select "Offline with Bots"
2) Select either, Casual or Deathmatch
3) When difficulty appears, select "Harmless"
it sounds boring and pointless, but this is just to give you the feel of the game
4) After you get a better understanding of how the guns work, increase the difficulty to "Easy"
5) When you start to play better on easy, go up another level to "Medium"
Just keep doing that til you are fighting bots on Expert.

Every gun fires completely different from the rest so you really need to spend time just practicing with each and see how you preform. Also watch Tutorials on youtube and listen to what they have to say, later you can learn "grenade strategies/placements" to keep you alive and build "map awareness". The more you play a certain map, the more you learn every corner in the game, and thats important for knowing where the most hiding spots are located.

But basically this is how i learned to play the game babysteps at a time. The bots can be real cheap killing you before you even come around the corner of a wall its just a badly programmed AI and not your fault but even to me that happens so just know its really not the most perfect game out there.

If this was helpful, you can throw some gunskins my way (or not that's fine too!)

Ive actually already been doing this, I can regularly win DM against maximum bots, Ive even won an arms race against mostly live players, I think 3 bots total across both teams. I also have the training_aim map and have been using it. My bigger issue (at least imo) is learning all the callouts, where to expect people hiding, where to effectively use smoke etc. Ive watched a bunch of the owl guy videos (I forget his name) which helped alot. I still dont really understand the economy, other than I dont buy the first 2 rounds, and usually just go by the cues of my teammates, when they buy, I buy.

I end up rage quitting casuals a lot, tbh, though. So many blatant wall hacks, and yes, I can tell the difference between a good/great player and a cheater. When I say blatant, I mean blatant. While spectating you will see them track an opponent through the wall until they come around the corner. And if I have the balls to bitch the common response is get over it, its a casual.

it takes time to learn every thing map, learn the map layout, it makes understanding the callouts easier, start with that, then look up callout videos theyll probably show you what each are, and when you play vs bots you can practice it to yourself so it becomes muscle memory.

Don't overwhelm yourself learning 12 maps at once, start with one, learn it really well, then move on to the next one.

There is a real bad cheaters community that they seem not interested in cleaning up its very disappointing, I've stayed away from Comp matches due to how bad the cheating has gotten and probably won't start til they patch these wallhacks and aimlocks.

Also watch some pro csgo teams play, see what they do, learn from their tactics you can learn alot from just watching others play.

Yeah, thats been my general approach as well, Im focusing on Dust 2 and Cache, and Ive got actual maps with the callouts on them. I know I should probably focus on just one for now, but the monotony of the same map is hard for me to deal with. Everyone keeps suggesting watching the pro matches, and I can see where the benefits of that lay. But I just cant get into them, same with sports of any nature. I will willingly play and enjoy them, but watching bores me to tears.

Thanks for the advice though, I appreciate you taking the time to offer pointers.

We all start from somewhere learning from others is the only way to quickly catch up to the rest of the group who have been playing far longer.

Pro matches are tough because its an hour long, but you can learn camping positions, where to throw your nades, and other tricks most youtubers don't cover, same as youtubers covering things pro's don't do.

Its best to learn from all studies to get good. other than that, its just practice and learning how to do things properly after that.

Look at pro videos is the default advice but it really depends at the level you want to play at, there is nothing worse than playing with people who insist on using buy/map strats they saw on pro videos then die pushing stupid places every round - and I say that as a fairly rough player myself.

Taking the time to actually learn the game and how you work best within it can be brutal if you have no one cool to play with, but it makes you a much more valuable (and appreciated) player in the long run.

I'm an atypical american gun nut. I already have excellent trigger control, even back in my COD days I was never a spray and pray kind of guy. Still learning the effective ranges of each weapon, and like I just learned about the scout being accurate during the fall of a jump not just at the apex, but I get what you mean, assuming you mean downward drag on bursts over 2 rounds.

I'm thinking of getting CSGO next sale. Do you recommend it?

I will put it like my friend did when he finally talked me into buying it. "Its the best worst game, and the worst best game, you will ever play". The community is toxic, no matter what FPS youve already played, you will be pure shit at first, and no one will forgive you. (I hear source players are the exception to this) And you will probably hate the game more than you enjoy it. That said, yes, I recommend it, especially if you are the kind of person who strives to always do better in a game than the last playthrough.

It's a fabulous game if you have friends to play with. If you don't it will be a fucking slog until you make a few.

Expect things like that happening to you on a daily basis. CSGO community is just so toxic that you feel like you won a lottery when you end up in a good, non-toxic team. I was always following a rule that I would rather lose with guys that are having fun then win with team that I can't stand.
I started csgo as a silver 1 noob and after 1200 hours I've been trough everything and seen everything... lots of great moments, clutches, awesome people and some from my country that formed a csgo team with me and we really had ton of fun together. OFC we split after some time because of real life responsibilities we have. In the end I quit csgo because playing with toxic people was not worth it and I just had no time to get better and train, I wanted to have fun, and people in mm struggle to understand that.

GL HF :D

If I were you, I would take a break from the competitive matches until I learn the most played maps, improve my aim skill, learn to use the radar(is one of the most important things in the game), learn the common places and stuff like this. Also, you should find a few communicative teammates(at least 2 or 3) to play with., cuz the higher the rank is, the more friendly your teammates are so you need to start with 2-3 friends just to get out of the "toxic" ranks.
For everybody here saying that the game is bad, the community toxic etc.: if you are looking to have fun and relax, use the community servers. There are a lot of unique servers where you can have a lot of fun. Don't expect the same things in competitive matchmaking where you are supposed to give your best to win the game. Keep that in mind when you start the game and ask yourself if you want to play the game just for fun or do you want to compete with others to be the best.
Feel free to add me, maybe we'll play sometimes.

There is a bunch of good advice in the thread, most of it I already was doing, but one thing not really mentioned, is get the training_aim_csgo map and use it. when you can average 80% hit or better, lower the amount of time the targets are on the wall. It also has a spray control mode where you have to hit the target 1000 times without missing 25. Its great practice if you have any problems with your aim. I also tend to use it for 5-10 minutes warmup before I play a comp to get 'in the zone' so to speak.

Use the training_aim map to dial in your sensitivity. I had it set so I could easliy turn 180, and have full range of aim, and after using the training map I couldnt hit the targets fast enough so I increased it almost a whole point, my in game performance definitely went up because of it. As for 1 round to the next, I watched my buddy the other day who's global, and it happens even to him, he would go 4 kills 1 assist one round, then 3 rounds dead without so much as a hit.

There's not such thing as person that willingly plays a game he or she "suck at". If someone complains, (which sore loosers often tend to do), they better get their own asses into private servers along with players, tactics and methods, and levels of "skillz", that they can tolerate to be around without whining. :)

Not true, I willingly admit, by most standards I suck at this game, but I play it anyways, out of a desire to get better. Will I ever be global elite? probably not, but I will get better, I already have, looking for people to play with that will understand you are still at the bottom end of the learning curve, is not complaining, its putting forth effort to continue to play, without getting kicked after a dozen rounds and wasting 45 minutes of my time for no xp at all.

I think you misinterpreted my reply, or me being norwegian got in the way of explaining myself correctly :D

"but I play it anyways, out of a desire to get better."...exactly..And improving is not sucking.

Votekicking players for not being "gud enuff" is a damn sickness in TF2 as well, and is a quick tell-tale sign of a shitty server where the admins didn't have the knowhow to moderate it or to make it private.

It's like those morons that leave their game-session, server or round, open for anyone to join, but rather spend time kicking anyone that enters, until their friend(s) finally joins; When usually, all could be solved if they themselves had marked it as private to begin with.

Some players are even likely to put up a votekick just because you shot them; While hoping that everyone else is lazy enough to simply vote "Kick" without any consideration.

Advice: Don't join shitty servers..

I would gladly play with you if I had CS:GO since I'd need some experience too :) I used to play Soldier of Fortune 2 A LOT and the best community was found on clan / private servers. Unfortunately you can't do such a thing on CS:GO if I have understood right... Sadly some online game communities are quite toxic; I used to play World of Tanks a lot too and oh boy the community seemed to be full of 'you are doing it wrong ¤&#%!' guys who themselves died on the first minute mark by rushing alone or something like that :)

Quick advise:

  • stay away from D2 (it's the #1 map for one map ponies, idiots, cheater, and all sorts of griefer)
  • play for round wins, not frags - don't hesitate.
  • CSGO isn't just competitive, maybe try Demolition to get the hang of it, or join a nice community server, or have fun in casual?

There you go, your experience is now half as bad.
