Overall: Great competitive game to play, especially with friends. My only complaint is how hard it is to get out of silver. It can take a long time, mostly because of teammates, to get out of silver by doing only solo queue (random match making). When you have learned the basics of the game, I highly recommend playing on FaceIt. They have better quality servers and players who are more dedicated to the game than what you'd see from Valve's servers.

P.S. Make sure to adjust your settings accordingly. It can help you gain a better feel of the game by adding a bit more personalization and comfort. Not only that, but tuning your visual settings can give you a major FPS boost. No wonder why pros play on 1280 x 960! Of course, CS:GO can be a bit overbearing when it comes to its matchmaking. Playing community servers will help you depress and enjoy yourself a lot more (zombie escape, bhop, surfing, etc). In the end, just make sure to have a good time. Peace!
