Don't get me wrong, Redline is a very smart looking skin, but I like something a bit battered / mean looking for T side. You know a bad guy gun then CT side gets its cool cyrex space agey skins
Like that, hmmm
Will have a gander 
Yeah was really good
I spent 30 mins looking at my recoil control, no wonder I'm struggling 1v1. Practice for 10 mins every day I think :/
Cache sucks, couldn't get into it, started losing rounds and we struggled to get an economy going even with a great performance from cookeh. Next time.
Oh god, what have I done. Decided to finally give some time to see if I can properly get into this. Now I'm hooked and just bought myself a Nitro M4A1s skin, and sold some old TF2 stuff of mine to buy keys.
First proper comp games last night and had a blast! (on the second one at least. first one was ruined by a kid who must have genuinely been under 7)

No
Its sort of based on a similar system to the ELO system. They havent told anyone the exact system but most people think its based on wins and MVPs.
Total wins means nothing you need to win in a row. I tend to rank up after 4/5 wins in a row. But if you play with other people who are much higher than you you will get ranked faster (if you win).
Its an ELO based system. Each rank is assigned a numerical value in terms of points (Silver is lowest, increasing incrementally to GE). How many games it takes until you rank up is dependent on the enemies that you play against. If you play vs opponents with a higher rank (and so overall higher ELO for the team) you will gain more ELO points than if you got the same result versus a team with an overall ELO the same or lower than you. It is also worth noting that the points allocated to a team for a win/draw/loss are not shared evenly - if you are a higher rank than your teammates you will receive a lower share of the points, and vice versa. There are also rumours that K/D has some influence on points allocated. Therefore it is pretty much impossible to calculate specifically how many more matches you need to rank up.
Cache just needs to be given more of a chance. Its a great map with good balance that plays really well. We did struggle massively with economy issues in the first half of CT side, but we still put in a strong performance and had an excellent T sided run! Despite you saying you couldn't get into it you had some really nice frags and some good rounds - that juandeag on Flighty from B was epic.
Thank you. I've only played random games so far but I seem to be doing ok due to my experience in 1.1-1.5 many years ago.
Once I learn all the maps, get a headset (only using chat for comms atm. lol) and reach a point where my rank is stable, I'll join some proper teams.

Fire serpents are the **** for AK's as are case hardened IMO. Not sire whether to trade my beautiful CH for a fire serpent tho hmm
Couple of things:
Why are no 'cs_' hostage maps played competitively? After playing Rush, admittedly a crazy map but it was quite fun. The answer in CSS used to be that Ts could just shoot the hostages and force a draw, but now I thought hostage kill = loss? So what's the reason now? I acknowledge you don't want a huge map pool but still, why exclude hostage maps?
When playing as CT, does anyone else not buy kevlar+helmet and just go with kevlar when you're sure T will have got AKs? They will one shot you anyway. Saves you $400!

I don't like hostage maps, I'm glad they aren't played competitively.
As for the helmet, it will allow you to survive the default gun headshots or the through wall headshots from AKs and the like.
I do if Im pushed for cash. Prefer a smoke in that situation, but if you have the money always buy it as protects you from them pulling out a pistol and 1 shot to the face etc.
Same as, I think I will just stop opening cases and just buy a nice skin if I see one, cases have been total rubbish for me. Also hate the way it works, it cycles through the skins but there is never even one for the rare items when I do it, then as it slows down two or THREE of the same skin in a row appears and it stops there. Awful system. Why on earth do they put the same rubbish skins two or three times in a row?
Loads of people always trying to buy TF2 stuff form me so I might start selling it for some nice CS skins.
