Still feeling it a bit from last nights **** show mate? Thanks for the loot though off that level 68 you killed

I hated this about the game, it really is a very good FPS right up to randomly dying to somebody you just drilled full of 995 because he said/she said on the network code. Will come back dancing when this improves.
Tbh, it's massively better than it was pre November 2019 patch, the game was largely unplayable for me before then (played on and off for hundreds of hours since launch til that patch) but there are still instances when the netcode lets you down.
On the flipside, I can probably count on one hand the amount of instances i've had like that in the last few months...however, we only remember when it goes wrong...not when the netcode favours us

This is true, I cant say ive quit just because of the netcode - I raced to 40 for the second time, upgraded everything to solar panels, got my bitcoin farm working and have stupid amounts of cash as well as a literal scav case ful of bitcoin, I think I just burnt myself out. Going to leave it for a season then come back later, still the best game ive played in yonks.
What are you expecting from it and what sort of shooters do you like?
I’m really not sure. The impression I get is it’s very very deep and can’t necessarily be treated like cod, for example.
I’m not wanting it to be full of griefers, like GTA V.
Personally I don't think I've come up against griefers, you get some exit campers but I find them very rare and they're normally awful.
It has a very steep learning curve, and you will die a lot, however once you get into it it's really quite fun. Pestily on YouTube will probably be your best bet as a new player for learning the ropes.

Sunk 1500+ hours into this over the last 12 months.
Fantastic game, very very hard to start with - as above - you will die a lot! Currently it's a long way into a wipe so lots of players running top tier ammo/guns/armour etc - It would be very very hard starting just now but you do need to start somewhere.
There potentially is a wipe due (everyones account gets reset back to zero) in about 2/3 months.
It's NOTHING like COD, much slower paced/hardcore game.
Watch some videos on youtube - Pestily/Lvndmark etc - They play it loads.
There is no in game VOIP or anything so if your playing solo - you won't get any stupid voice comms/messages from others. Brutally tough for new players but once you get into it - amazing.
Everything's pretty much been said by my squadmate @booyaka, we play together most days with a few others.
I would suggest finding some like minded folks to play with, take away the grind/slog you'll be up against to start with.
It's ruined me for other shooters, everything else feels arcadey and doesn't replicate the gunplay or movement in the same way.

I'm just as much as a noob so don't worry
it's so in depth and can actually be quite a intense game, I get jump scared often and sometimes freeze, not wanting to move

I used to do a lot of Scav runs to start off, build up my gear
Welcome to tarkov!!
Play Customs map to start with - most of the first few missions are on that map. Use a 2nd monitor for a map/phone for map. Use your scav a lot to start with to gather gear.
You can only complete missions as PMC but scav to get gear/stuff etc - get use to the maps/exits as much as you can.
Take your time - don't go rampaging around. Learn the maps is the best thing to do just now and don't worry about getting killed - that's Tarkov!
Yeah, I'm on customs and have a second screen set up. It's a bit pants getting locked out for 20 mins between raids.
