Use cover as a diversion and shelter. Appear from behind a part of the cover, duck down, and move to another part. Your opponent will be focusing his attention on where you used to be and where he thinks you still are. Jump up and nail him, if he's close enough, or jump up and run to better cover if he isn't. Use the element of surprise when you are behind cover. Use teamwork with your other teammates to keep an opponent trapped behind cover. With a teammate providing cover fire aimed at the object your opponent is hiding behind, you can approach undetected while they are hunkered down and find a better angle to tag him while he's still behind cover. If he realizes you are approaching and breaks cover to tag you, your teammate should be able to get him. Learn total awareness of your surroundings. Don't focus your attention on a single spot, even if you think an opponent may be hiding there - a different opponent may be flanking you from the other side. Or you may locate an opponent you wouldn't otherwise have seen. Constantly survey your surroundings. The next step is to keep on the move. Standing still will get you noticed by the opposition. Moving will keep your opponent guessing about where you could pop up from. Moving will get you to better positions for firing. Try shooting first, then moving while your opponents are behind cover, to give yourself the most time. Move up field especially when your opponent doesn't see you. You can either shoot blindly, probably from out of range, or you can take advantage of the moment to move up field to where you could be more useful. Don't be afraid of moving up field - fear leads to hesitation, which could get you tagged. When you get to a new position, pause and look around before bolting off again. Don't give yourself away immediately. Take a moment to survey the field from your new angle, determine if any opponents are within range, or if there's a better position you can run to. Keep it simple. Really cool looking moves will only make you look stupid if you get shot while doing them. To really somebody off, climb a tree. People rarely look up. You won't have the freedom of movement, but you will have additional cover and concealment. This tactic is especially good for protecting a base or a flag.
