I am JokemL, and I am a CS:GO player. I have played 3000+ hours, over multiple accounts. I have now decided to write a "little" review.

I cannot remember that much from when I first got the game, but it went something like this:

Play one game-quit-next day-play one game-quit, and that went on for a little while.
Now that I am a little older and know the game better then I did just 6-7 years ago, I can tell you what I like and dislike about this game.

Starting with what I like about this game:
I like that there is a solid community around the game, though there is alot of scammers/hackers/others, but there is always someone kind just around the corner.

When I started playing CS I liked the pistols on CT cause I felt like I was in the police force. I also liked the AWP and the Ak-47 cause of the insane damage I got with it. I did not really use the other guns, but other people played better with it.

The game felt really good at the start and I was ready to become a pro. Getting a rank was not a big deal for me at the time, only playing Deathmatch or Gun Game most of the time. I cannot even remember my first ever rank.

My tips to new players: Do not care about what rank you get. Start by having fun and playing on your own level.

After watching a lot of videos on how to get better and improve this and that, I started playing more seriously. Changing my settings to what the pros had, Using other crosshairs, viewmodels and such. I started playing better and doing better on the scoreboard.

I started warming up everyday to keep me on the level I was. Playing with friends that have good game sence and microphones, and having good communication was the key to a better experience and a happy rankup.

And there is a lot more people that posts tips and tricks.

What I dislike about the game:

Starting with Hackers. There is always going to be some kind of cheaters in CS and that it's hard for valve to ban them all, but I think they could do better.
The amount of hackers I meet on a daily bases is just insane, example wingman. In wingman there is atleast one hacker in 1-3 matches, and I have reported so many of them and up to 20% of they have been banned but up to 80% of they still allowed to play on valve secured servers. This is a problem.

Toxic. You may have heard the word toxic before, you may even be toxic. There is alot of players that are toxic, saying bad words to you, been hateful towards you, telling you that you are bad and things like that.
This is a problem that will never be solved, just because of how many plays the game and how many people that gets mad if someone is bad or you losing a game.
Toxic players is hard to deal with and you have to either mute him or just try to talk to him in a normal way.

Scammers. Scammers is also a thing that ruins the game for most people.
To lose alot of money because of a scammer is not the most fun thing on this planet.
it has happened to me aswell, loseing over $200 cause of a scam is not fun at all.
Thats why you always should double check every trade you do. (Don't trust people over the internet)

I love operations, but it takes so long before the next operation, so we just sit and wait for over 1 year...
This is something that makes me a little angry. CS is the same over and over again and that is not a bad thing, but we would love to sit back and relax with a operation.

Overall I like this game and I think you would like it aswell.

Thanks. Signed JokemL
