1. Make sure you have a good connection.
Lagging out of a game is can be very frustrating. Many people have gotten used to it, but it will still affect your gameplay. When you have a 4-bar connection, you will be able to get your shots off faster then someone with a lesser connection.

2. Kill Streaks
Don't think that you will be able to get Attack Dogs if you can't get a carepackage. Set reasonable kill streak. If you know you can't get a 7-9-11 killstreak, don't set it! I personally play TDM with a 3-5-7 or 5-7-9 killstreaks.

3. Burstfire
When you have an automatic rifle, and you see someone a long distance away. DO NOT GO FULL AUTO ON THEM!! I can not even count how many times people have done this to me, and I turn around, fire 3 shots, and they're dead. Aim in, and fire 3-4 shots at them, then stop for a second so your crosshairs can recenter, then repeat. You will kill them alot faster and conserve ammo.

4. Avoid the middle of the map
That's always the biggest hotspot and you will have enemies targeting you from all sides. Instead, weave in and out around the sides of the map. This gives you a huge advantage and minimizes your chance of being killed

5. Don't get frustrated
This will neutralize your tactics. It's only a game and it will make you look like a like a little kid. If you get really worked up over it, you will not be thinking clearly, and you will not have a good game. The best thing to do is just back out, and find a new game.

6. Have fun when you play!
Remember guys, it is just a game, and if you get mad at it, you will be too busy swearing and yelling, that you will forget what the game is really about, having fun. Its not about wether you win or lose, but that you have fun playing.

I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU OUT!
