I treat this game like a love-hate relationship. There are times where it is really fun to play with friends regardless of whether or not I win or not, and then there are times where the servers are buggy, there are multiple hackers in one game, or they just break the game (r8). I still love this game having played since source, and I recommend this game to anyone that loved the originals. There is definitely a learning curve to this game, and beware smurfs in silver. Look at the pro scene before buying this game because it definitely will give you a better understanding of the game, and its nice that steam made it free.
TLDR:
If you liked source, 1.6, etc you will like this game, play the free version before, but overall this is a genuinely good shooter with only a few bugs compared to a lot of other FPS.
