My best advice would be this - 1. If you're a hunter, put on knucklehead radar. (Use MIDA if not) You can be ads at head level before an engagement, whereas most other people will have to take that split second to get ads. And you'll always be able to see if someone is trying to flank you. 2. Let the engagements come to you. That way you can be set up at a comfortable spot with shelter to dip in and out of. Make your opponents fight you on your terms. 3. There's no shame in running away or hiding. If your opponent starts to get the best of you, disengage and let your health get back up before engaging again. 4. Have a weapon for medium to long engagements, and one for short to medium engagements. My favorite combo is either scout/pulse with sidearm/SMG. 5. Try to only go for 1v1 engagements. Don't try to be a hero. If there's more than 1 opponent at a time, most times they'll destroy you. 6. Don't chase people around corners. They're probably baiting you. Whenever someone is chasing me, I'll dip around a corner and drop a smoke bomb, go about 10 feet and then turn around with my sidearm pointed right in their direction. There's usually nothing they can do once they come around the corner and get blinded. These obviously aren't "top tier" tactics. I would call them... "safe" tactics, for beginners. Where you can gain a solid, comfortable foundation from which you can venture out from, once you start learning more. Edit: Oh man, I almost forgot the most important thing. If you defeat someone in their super with your primary, you HAVE to t-bag. I'm pretty sure it's like, 7 years bad luck, if you don't.
