Game is fun. The shooting while standing still part is a bit tricky to get used to but it's fun.

FWIW I hopped into DM earlier and there were a lot of people complaining about having FPS drops lately. Might be something wrong with the game itself.

Is the glock really terrible or should I just get good?

It has really bad damage, accuracy and range compared to the CT pistols and of course its burst fire is 100% useless. As far as I can tell the only thing it's got going for it is higher ammo count.

It's also very accurate when strafing

[*]Your mouse sensitivity is almost definitely too high
    If you're playing with a competent team and you know the map the great majority of enemies should be appearing inside your field of view if not very close or already under your crosshair. Because of this you gain much more by having a low sensitivity, improving your aim in these scenarios, than having a high sensitivity which allows you to respond to being flanked. If this advice seems wrong to you because you're being flanked often enough that keeping a higher sensitivity makes sense, your primary concern should be improving your situational awareness and tactics as that will have a way larger impact on your overall skill. Some goons, including myself, argue that lowering your sensitivity FORCES you to keep your crosshair up and use proper positioning, as you can no longer use insane twitch shooting as a crutch to prop up lazy playing.

    Generally you want it to take over ten inches to turn 360 degrees. Yes you read that correctly. Yes your sensitivity is WAY too high.

    Also be sure to select 'Use Raw Input' in the options. Most operating systems have mouse acceleration turned on by default which will screw with your aim. Having a 1-1 interpretation of your movements is significantly better.

    Use this tool to find out what your 360/sensitivity is: http://www.notalent.org/sensitivity/sensitivity.htm

    This is what good crosshair placement looks like:

    Basically any time you start to feel like you're getting good just come back to this to remind yourself that you're actually a literal baby mashing a keyboard.

Goons like to ask for ways that aren't just playing the game to get good at the game, so I've put together a collection of the practice maps I use/find the most useful:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=796681889

I'm also going to write up some guides at some point, I started to do "educational" CS streams a while back, and now that my job's settled a bit I'm hoping to get back into it.

E: Also super up for suggestions if people have maps they like that are not on here, I was sticking basically just to core mechanics to start with, didn't want to overload people.

Those prefire maps are a godsend

I'm still in nova 3 star rank (where i started) and I feel like my aim is letting me down. I'm always aiming center mass, when I should be going for headshots, especially for pistol rounds. Is there a good map for practicing this, or do I just need to keep playing?

Check out this video if you haven't seen it yet and memorize every word: https://youtu.be/U9mvXfnY8wU

In terms of raw aim you can do a few things. Training maps through steam workshop are really good and I also like community deathmatch servers. most are FFA and will sometimes be headshot only, pistol only, or both.

Dazed and maybe shroud have said on stream that they tried playing on Adderall but they either didn't like how it felt or it actually negatively impacted their play. Different strokes, I guess. Pasha looks like he's constantly hopped up on something

I was watching Dazed's stream the other night and before a game he left to go to the bathroom, which took like 15 seconds and resulted in him rubbing/wiping his nose throughout the entire match.
