Watch your radar.

To get somewhere without being seen on the radar, walk.

Watch your radar whenever you can.  A nearby ally might need help close to you and you might not notice without checking your radar.  Instead you might just walk somewhere else, giving up on the opportunity of getting free shots on an enemy who is busy chasing your ally.

In the game mode with the 3 control points, S2 (middle point) is the most important point.  Fight for it.  (Except on Bunker, the snow map.)

If one of your allies is already going for or capturing S1 or S3, you don't need to go there. Go for S2 instead.  If you join them, late, in capturing a point, then the only thing you accomplish is inefficiency because the main fight is on S2, where you need to be.

Go to S2.  You don't need to be two to capture S1/S3.  You absolutely don't need to be 3.  If you're afraid to be alone or can't reliably win 1v1 fights, just concentrate on S2.  You are needed there.

If the match has just started, you DON'T NEED to be more than one to capture a point, especially if it's right next to your starting zone, where the enemies will obviously not be in the next few seconds.  If someone's already capping it, move to any other point and get ready to fight.

Watch your radar. An enemy might be coming behind you.

You can aim in great part with the keyboard and use the mouse to correct your aim.  If you walk to your left, your cursor will also go to the left.  It might make it harder to aim at first, but at least you're moving, which makes you harder to hit.  Immobile players are the weakest players.

Even if you are sniping and you think you're safe, do not stand still.  Move, at least forward and backward and left/right if you can.  If you remain immobile, it's ridiculously easy for enemies to sneak up on you and kill you before you can react.  Moving forward and backward won't do much, but it's still better than nothing.  Remember, people can simply walk in order to get close to you without showing up on the radar.

Watch your radar. You might be walking the wrong way or you might not be taking the quickest route.

If a predator is on your team, do not follow him.  He works better on his own.

When a teammate is fighting, do not stand directly behind him.  If he needs to step back, he will be blocked by you and possibly die.  If you do it on purpose, you are a sad waste of life and nobody thinks that's funny except you.

It's not true that you need to stick together all the time.  Your allies don't always need you to be in hugging distance.  You can help your allies by going behind the enemy/enemies to shoot them in the back while they're distracted by your teammate.  It's not always the best idea, but it often is.  Try to develop a sense for it.

Watch your radar. It might inform you that the nearby enemies might be in a perfect spot for you to sandwich them against your ally/allies.

Likewise if you're already fighting along your teammates, you should seek to move yourself to the side of your enemies, so that they can't attack both you and your allies at the same time.  It also makes it easier to hit the enemies because there are better chances that either you or your allies will have a good angle to shoot from.

If your almost dead ally is running for their life, you can MAN UP, move forward and attack whoever's chasing your ally.  They most likely won't attack you so soon, giving you plenty of free shots.

If chasing someone who is fleeing you, you can boost forward to move faster, but you will be unable to shoot.  A better idea is to turn your mouse on the side, make a side dodge (shift+D or shift+A) towards your prey, turn the mouse back towards them and shoot some more before doing another side dodge.  This manoeuvre can be executed in a fraction of a second so it's an excellent way to move quickly while shooting.

Watch your radar.  You just spawned, you see that 4 of your allies are dead.  It's clear that you shouldn't fight the enemy yet.
Watch your radar again. Your teammates have spawned.  You know where they are because they either show up as a friendly dot if they are nearby, or as a friendly rectangle thing on the edge of your radar if they are far away.  Join them.

Most weapons deal extremely low damage at long ranges, so if you have some kind of machine gun, don't just sit back and "snipe" the enemies.  You are useless if you do that.  Instead, man up, move forward by using the available cover, either boost quickly or walk quietly, and actually kill something.  You can move forward directly or by taking the side lines and staying hidden behind cover as much as possible while you get close to the enemy.  It's not that hard to do.

Watch your radar.  Because if you're in trouble, you can run towards your nearest ally, hope that they're also smart enough to watch their radar and come to your help.

You can see the name and health of your allies through the walls. Their health, and whether it's staying neutral, going up or going down, is useful information.  Health going down slowly means you need to go there and save them, or if it's too late, avenge them by killing the enemy who is probably wounded.  If the health is going up, it means that they probably don't need you, so make yourself useful by looking for a situation that requires your aid or a way to attack some enemies from behind/their side.

Watch your radar.

Calm yourself, then shoot big guns.
