So I got CS:GO

Get gud and collect all those case drops.

You'll get better. I was absolutely AWFUL at first, but after about 50 hours of practice, I definitely got better.
Play with bots at first. Set them on easy, and learn to be more familiar with the weapons. And above all, aim for headshots.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive isn't the kind of game you can just run-and-gun. You have to control your spray, and master a slightly different playstyle than most games.

There are also quite a few guides on the internet and on Steam for getting better at the game.
Good luck!

1-You've a nice friend.My friends wouldn't even consider sending me a dota 2 common item (worth 0.008$) XD
2-I'm in the same boat with you.Bought the game few months ago and i really suck so i gave up.
Here u're some advice my friends gave me when i joined.
-Change the default Cross-hair cuz it sucks. (You can look it up on you-tube pretty tough since you've lots of options & varieties)
-You must take care of re-coiling.Don't just spam your bullets.
-Always look behind you (Pretty obvious...huh?)
-Don't go on your own.Stick to your team.
-In this games campers can be spotted easily it's not the same as BF.
-Play the first few times with your friend and,his moves and try to learn.
-Watch some YouTube videos maybe?

csgo 101: recoil

In all honestly here is my gameplan, join get raped.... try harder...get raped more. Claim its hard so join some friends, they do the raping and then I claim the shit is rigged.
Best of luck to you. In all honesty I saw no hope for myself I even practiced with bots before joining a normal game. Also I am not playing off a desk, I am on a couch and aiming for the head seems to be super important.

If you're entirely new to CS, you need some basic advice and preferably a veteran friend who can guide you through stuff.
You should be able to find some beginner guides by googling, also some general recommended pre-configs (not much of a big deal IMO but people seem to notice differences).

CS:GO best way to make money on Steam.

U need to practice and u will get better, it will take some time.

Yes, here is my advice! Next time a case is released, remember my words: GET A FUCKING CASE AND SELL IT ASAP. Oh, and if you want to get better, first learn your weapons, and then spend 30min - 1hour in deathmatches (daily).

Play Deathmath and Arms Race to practice, it takes time. Try watching tutorials on Youtube. You should have waited till next week to get at least a 50% off price tag...

CS:GO is all about map awareness, knowing where to look quickly for the enemy, at which corners, and about knowing how to properly choose and use your weapons.

In classic maps like Dust II and Inferno you're going to have an extremely hard time, because everyone is extremely used to those maps so they can predict your likely movements. If you go to a new map, like the Operation Bloodhound ones, you're going to have a greater chance of performing better as nobody played those maps much. My recommendation is that you train on those.

As for weapon handling you basically use them, use them, use them until you finally learn how to use said weapon. You can join casual matches as an spectator to see veteran players from their points of view and study how they are using a specific weapon, and try to replicate that behavior.

Best of luck.

Use SMGs until you realize this isn't call of duty.

Lowering my mouse sensitivity was the best thing I did to improve my aim.
I was even worse for a few days, but soon after my shooting became a lot better.

Fire automatic weapons in bursts
Aim for center mass

Don't go on Competitive matches yet... you'll only get yelled at, be verbally abused and that's about it... there's a very low chance of you getting a supportive team that will teach you something. Instead go play casual or community games, learn how the physics behave, get used to the weapons, know the maps, the reload times, the places where people usually shoot from, hiding spots, nading spots, etc. Also watch competitive streams so you know how that is and once you feel ready to play it without being totally useless then go ahead and try. You will probably still be terrible, but you'll have a better idea and you'll be able to learn and improve :)
Very important things to keep in mind: ALWAYS play with headset, sounds are very important in this game, they tell you where your enemies are, what weapons they have, where are they going, etc. And that this is a TEAM game, even casual, if you have a bad team you'll lose.. unless you carry your team to victory because you alone are way better than the other team, but that won't be happening for a while. And money, money is important, don't waste it if you know your teammates can't afford anything good... why would you buy a good weapon when your teammates are running around with pistols? they'll probably all die and you too and it would be a waste.

Change the Crosshair (Google it) and find the the one that works best for you.

The major gameplay mechanic unique to CSGO is that when you fire a weapon for more than three shots your gun has actual recoil. You've probably unloaded entire clips into people and got killed only to see you've hit them once or twice right? For each weapon try shooting an entire clip into a wall to see what the recoil is like. Practice compensating for the recoil with different weapons so you can control each shot.

Its really worth getting to know, but getting good is hard.

here are eleven tips that helped me out a lot when I first started.
1: The Desert Eagle looks and sounds cool, but it takes a LOT of skill to use correctly.

2: do NOT move around while shooting unless using an SMG or a pistol. Chances are, your shots won't hit.

3: NEVER hold down the fire button when using a rifle. If you are going to spray, spray down with SMGs

4: burst fire in groups of 3 to 5 shots, wait a few tenths of a second for the recoil to reset, and repeat.

5: solo que in competitive (not playing with friends) is a bad idea. You will eventually be teamed up with people who won't listen to you, or with
people who don't even try to play the game.

6: don't buy the SCAR or the G3SG1 unless you are prepared for the opposite team to hate you.

7: ALWAYS play at least 1 round of deathmatch immediately before going into competitive games. Your aim will be more on target, and it will give you a chance to practice.

8: The USP-S does not hold a lot of ammo, and might seem like a bad choice when compared to the p2000. However, if you practice a lot with it, you will find it to be a much better choice than the p2000. the enemies have a harder time finding you, and it is more accurate than the p2000.

9: many people in lower ranks don't buy armor. If you have enough money for armor, buy it before you buy grenades. You will survive longer, and will probably get more shots into the enemy

10: make a few friends and play as a team. you will rank up faster, and it will increase your confidence.

11: never EVER trust someone with a private profile. chances are they are either a hacker or a "smurf" (someone playing with a second account so they can troll low ranked people)

Something that everyone seems to have missed :
SPRAY PATTERNS

In CS:GO, your bullets don't actually spray around your crosshair. In most other FPS games, the inaccuracy of spraying is purely centered on your crosshair, and when you spray for longer (or do things to increase your inaccuracy), your shots stray further out. In CSGO that isn't the case. If you stand perfectly still and hold your fire button, watch where the bullet holes appear. Initially they are somewhat close to the crosshair, but they quickly detach and move upwards and well away from your crosshair, straying from side to side in a predictable manner. Anything you do to make yourself more inaccurate (such as moving) causes more variation or randomness around that set pattern. Yes, it's ridiculous, counter-intuitive and rarely discussed despite how vital this knowledge is.

Check these out for a visual guide
The general rule is that the longer you fire, the more you want to pull your aim downwards. If you plan to unload your gun until a target is dead, you will likely have to aim so far down that it appears as if you're trying to shoot the ground in front of the target.

Now that you have been made aware of this ridiculous mechanic, the rest is down to familiarisation and practice. Some weapons are more stable and can be fired while still drifting to a halt (or while moving, in the case of shotguns and SMGs), whereas others really need you to be stationary to reliably hit anything (rifles for example). Getting accustomed to how mobile you can be (and how it effects your spray patterns) is a big part, especially if you're not a sharpshooter and have to rely on being crafty like me, heh. Spraying is a valid choice, but you have to be prepared for that sharp decrease in accuracy and the wrestle against the spray pattern. You typically only want to spray when you're sure your first few more accurate bullets have hit, as an effort to try finish them off.

Shotguns are useless compared to other weapons, and the two machineguns are obsolete due to their huge pricetags and massive inaccuracy. The ability to move and shoot with a shotgun might seem attractive but the scatter on them is very fickle, and even on a headshot you aren't guaranteed to deal heavy damage. The time between shots and the unreliable nature of the spread means that any automatic weapon has far greater odds of landing hits that count. Not to say that the shotguns can't be fun if you have patience for them, but they're not something you want to rely on unless you plan on a painful regimen of shotgun training and devotion.

Armour is vital, even in the first round where you can't buy a helmet for headshot resistance . Without armour, any hits you take will cause your character to flinch, which can drastically screw your ability to hold that first round. You don't always need to top up your armour. 50 armour is equally effective at reducing damage as 100 armour, it just means that your vest is more worn down and will need to be replaced sooner. If you're struggling for money, an 'Eco' round is when the team opts not to buy weapons as to conserve money for the following round. It's almost like sacrificing a round to stop a losing streak, but you can still kill an enemy and take their gun.

Also, remember that competitive matches are very different to casual matches. 5vs5 is a drastically different dynamic, and with friendly fire enabled you need to be careful. Your first games will likely end up with you being kicked or insulted, because until the system determines what rank to start you off at, it throws you into games where people are starting to get serious about their wins. Try not to get too disheartened about that. Once it finishes analysing you and tells you your rank, you'll be in matchmaking with better teams (along with the smurfs, alternate accounts of higher players). No matter how shitty the community can be sometimes, don't stress. It's a messed up learning curve but you'll work it out. At first you should be limited to 2 competitive wins a day before you get matchmaking cooldown and have to wait 24 hours for more games, but don't worry, that's just a speedbump against smurfs. Once you nail about 10 wins you'll be able to play to your hearts content. Also, playing against bots is a great way to get a feel for competitive and figure out the maps without pressure.

Good luck!

-First thing you need to do (as you must have heard by now) is to watch warowl's tutorial playlist on youtube. He teaches you about the mechanics of the game and everything you need to know to progress in skill.
-shoot a bullet at a blank wall and try to walk parallel to that wall while keeping your crosshair on the bullet hole. this will very accurately help you find a fitting sensitivity. Personally, when I used this trick I started becoming much more consistent and eventually got from rank silver 1 to gold nova 3.
-learn the maps. play in casual or watch gameplay to familiarize yourself with the maps and callouts. callouts are especially important to know if you want your team to win.

Good luck! :)

If you have some common FPS skills, you will have some success, i promise. But prepare to fight against the horde of russians!!!

You already got a lot of useful tips. It seems an important one is missing: use weapons with a high penetration when you can (for example Desert Eagle, SCAR, AWP, AK, M4...). You can attack the enemy through the walls and other thin surfaces. It may be a great advantage if you know enemy position.
