Unfortunately, the game is completely unplayable at the moment. Queue times are awful, and when you do get a match it's often filled with bots meant to ruin the game for you (you step out of spawn and get instantly killed).
The only remotely enjoyable experience you'll have is community servers, which are populated by more veteran players. A new player will probably not enjoy it

Valve has completely abandoned this game. Do not play it. Do not support it.
