    So do you think the game is worth getting back into now, or should I just give up all hope at ever being half decent at this game?

    Last time I played was in 2014. Started as a Silver I, and worked my way up to Gold 1. I was never a competent player. I feel like if I try to get back into it now, the game will just be full of the same old players from past CS titles and I’ll still stand zero chance of ever getting gud. Or do you think the sequel will bring in enough new players that I might do alright?

      I just play it for fun now. Try harding it made me miserable. But yeah, there are a lot of new players and it is a new ranked system so you might climb higher.

        Been playing casual. Doing a lot better than I thought I would. So now I’m wondering if I’m better than I thought, or if casual matchmaking is skill-based as well.

      Yes and no, if you enjoyed your time why not? If you are thinking about features then no… The game is still very early open beta sort of feel atm it has the core gameplay but some things might feel off, and most game modes are missing, granted you haven’t played in a while so you might not notice any of this, I say give it a shot, the skill difference exists in all games but I’m a believer that it is what makes you passively get better.

        You’re right, I didn’t notice that anything was missing until I started reading threads here and on the Steam forums. I’m having fun playing casual.

          Glad to hear! I’m also enjoying it, don’t let others opinions ruin your fun, I’m eager for the release of workshop things and server content so I can play around with them on my own server.
