Yeah, CS:GO (now Counter-Strike 2) is still huge! Even with the upgrade to CS2, the core gameplay feels familiar but with better visuals and smokes.
If you’re just starting:
Practice aim maps first (like aim_botz) – recoil control is everything
Start with Deathmatch to learn maps without pressure
Economy management wins rounds as much as aim does
For skins/cases: The Steam Market is safest, but if you want instant upgrades without grinding, check out Instant-Carry’s CS2 services. They can help with ranks, skins, or even coaching if you want to skip the early struggle.
