It gives me random weapons in death match. Should I stick with that or choose the AK/M4 options each round?

choose the ak/m4 and spend time learning the spray patterns of those 2 guns (as they will be your most used ones)

but playing deathmatch is a good way to learn the different guns and most importantly the maps.

map knowledge is vital as well as effective communication.

when you die your teamates need to know where you were shot from.

watch some of these videos.

generally watching youtube videos of the game is good. you'll pick up a lot of usefull info.

I get proper annoyed when people take the fight with the bomb down.. use the time and don't start engaging till the end/defuse

Going to run through a couple for basic situations for people regarding this. First thing to say tho, is that in MM "playing the bomb" can be nearly impossible due to the 45 defuse timer. With a 35 second bomb timer in proper comp it's far easier to do.

Inferno T's planted the bomb on B, they should have 1 x new box, 1 x dark spot and ideally one banana, pool or ruins. This gives a perfect crossfire, as T you don't then need to peek for info as they have to step into your crossfire (gets awkward if CT's still have nades tho).

1 T vs 2+ CT's, let's say you have the bomb down and those two players are rotating from the other bomb site. In this situation as the T you cannot hide and let them come to you because if they play it right (no guarantee of that) they will come from two angles and pincer you. As T you need to be aggressive to kill 1 x CT before you can then make it a 1v1 and the CT to come to you.
 
So it looks like you are way more accurate when standing still and firing in bursts.

Now, how do I avoid being shot in the back the split second I spawn?

yes, dont fire running. its not COD.

as to the second point, you cant avoid it in deathmatch. can always play casual matches. they are set up like competitive but no ranks involved.

i use deathmatch to get my eye in before playing competitive but i do enjoy playing arms race.

Actually things like strafe firing are in way more games than CoD so keep that elitist crap to yourself.

Thanks for the spawn death tip, I'll see if I can give casuals a go until I'm a high enough level for ranked.
 
my deagles at the moment are crisp :)

nothing better than being called a cheater for slamming faces in comp with the deagle.

not sure whats happened but currently the deagle feels like i'm playing source :D

If you play dm, don't take any notice whatsoever of your score, go into dm with an idea of what you want to learn/do.

I usually start off only using the five-seven and tap shooting, it will help your aim no-end as you need to get 2 headshots at range or just one up close, it will also help with your movement as you will be against people with superior guns so if you dont move between shots you will die. (movement is very important) no matter how good your aim you have to avoid getting shot otherwise your aim won't bail you out a lot of the time, also you will have days where your aim is off, if you can get the movement down (stutter step, strafe shooting etc, etc) having an off day with your aim won't make as big a difference. Then i'll move to an ak, again tapshooting only, then start bursting with the ak, then i'll move onto the m4 and finally a couple of rounds with the awp.

There are a few workshop maps which are helpful, ulletical (sp?) has a recoil traning map, also an aim prac map with bots, you also have the training aim map (there are several versions but all basically the same) which has loads of settings to help you work on your aim.

You can also watch videos, adren has a few good tutorials, also warowl has loads of tutorials for different weapons etc, etc, natosaphix as well.

A few of us on here have smurf accounts so will hapily play with you and help you learn ( i need a new one, as well frankly i'm rubbish at smurfing as i have 3 accounts my 2 "smurfs" are ranked LE and my main is dmg, so i need to get one and get it ranked low)
 
Smurf accounts? What now?

It all seems so daunting to get into this, can I not just play normal bomb planting/rescue like I used to all those years ago? Is it all just competitive now?

The thing is, COD and BF are run and gun style games, it's not elitist but rather a different play style and approach to gun play. Other games such as CS you have to stand still when firing or use certain more advanced techniques to achieve anything near accuracy.

Valve deathmatch and casual are fairly horrid but at least will give you an idea of how to shoot. Unfortunately not much else crosses over to comp.

If I were you I'd use the Watch tab in the menu to watch a Global game once a day to get an idea of how the game is kind of meant to be played (keep an eye of what positions they take, what they buy), then keep practising your shooting and movement before playing your first competitive game. After a week or so, just jump into comp and have a go, it's fun.
 
Just had a weird game where 2 of the enemy team only wanted to knife the entire game after the first round. Eventually 2 others went afk and the game ended 16-2.

They are just low ranked accounts that people use to play with lower ranked friends or just to troll noobs.

Let's say for example you were a gold nova 1 and you played with me, Joel, Robbo and swaggy, we are all dmg/le so you'd be playing against players of our rank and you'd probably get battered, or you wouldn't be able to play if there were less than 5 of us as our ranks are too far apart.

Competitive or matchmaking are just 5 v 5 either bomb or rescue, mm isn't "proper" competitive as you have 2 minute rounds and 45 sec bomb timer, as opposed to 1:45 rounds with a 35 second bomb timer that you get on face it, esea etc.

So yes you can just play like it used to be there is just a ranking system that in theory makes it more even.

Instead of uploading a few clips I decided to just have a go at editing them together after a few month and make a frag movie! Should be in 1080p and eventually 1080p60 if youtube takes a while to process things.
