If you aren't that good at any particular FPS game here is where you can get some common useful knowledge.

Multiplayer Tips

Weapons-Know your weapons and guns. Where are the best weapons?

Secrets- Are there any secrets that will help you? Any good vantage points. Check areas.

Health/Armor- Look for areas that have health/armor so you can easily heal. Know how the game uses health and if there is any regeneration. Watch your health and make sure it doesn't get too low. Fallback

Good fighting areas- Where is most of the action at? That is where you will have the most success. Don't rush if you aren't prepared get the overall feel for things. Be at one with the game

Paths- What is the easiest path from one point to another? How will you escape if needed. Don't let yourself get cornered.

Game- Know the game type you are in whether is is capture the flag or deathmatch.

Allies- make friends they can help you and protect your back.

Thats what I have for now. Feel free to list your own. I know not everyone will use these but I think they can be very useful.

. . . Not all people should be doing it honestly.

haha with only one life a round, they usually all go camp or all go scouting, I think I have one of the few teams in that game that do both.
But it is depending on the map -- say there are three primary avenues. One is an overlook, one is a bunker and one is a wide, small valley with medium cover. You take the bunker then you're fortified, you take the overlook and you can fire down on the valley. You take ANY ONE of these and you have removed 1 third of the maneveurability of the enemy.

True, but then they know where to look for you, I usually go with the kill and run tactic so that they would have to search for me agian, but when I use the pistol to shoot around corners it works only temporarily.
I don't know what the skill caliber is. You'd want to fight the best of the best and be forced to develop from that. If they are the best of the best then it's nowhere near full potential.

I think my skill caliber is really a bit more than slightly above average. I try to play with the best of the best and usually it dosen't help much, all I've really learned from them is stay in constant movement. I find it helps more for me to just play with some kindof handicap so i know how to better use what I have.
Wrong, that's just perception. Don't let yourself whittle down, play at the same effort and you will be consistent.

Like I said, if I play at the same effort always I will have dry spells where I'm the worst player there could be. Not really perception, it just happens, only time that rule dosen't apply is really late at night or early in the morning.
Hacking could easily be perceived common. It's much less than people think it is and your "friends'" inability to comprehend that not anything that is evidently far beyond their level of skill is hacks.

There have been times in this game were seriously more than 50% of the people were hacking, there was a point when so many people were hacking that everyone thought the developers would just give up on patching it and allow people to keep the hack.
You can change your strategies or bait.

haha bait really works, I'm usually the one to do it though since everyone else is scared of having their kdr killed.
Strange. . . then again campers aren't renowned for fast reactions or being exactly prepared -- hell, that's what they rely on to succeed sadly.

If you had to sit in a corner waiting for 10 minutes straight, wouldn't your concentration stray a bit from the pixels on the screen?
