Quick tips ( Find more in the Forums)

Swap Sidearm
Your sidearm is largely useless from the get go, so unless you plan on just showing off by killing opponents with your pea shooter, take the first opportunity to swap it out with another weapon. Every killed enemy and ally leaves their primary weapons behind. When you find one, hit Y to switch to your pistol and swap it out immediately by holding X. This is also a great way to find uniquely modified weapons, as well as guns that you haven't even unlocked yet (the P90, anyone?).

Move On
Speaking of cautious, the always-enabled kill cam allows anyone you've just shot down to know not only exactly where you were but just how you killed them as well. This means you shouldn't stay in one spot for more than a few moments at a time. Get your kill and then move on to greener pastures.

Alternatively, you can use your opponent's knowledge to your advantage. Once you get a kill, try moving to a spot with a clear line of sight on where you just were. Then, when your enemy comes around seeking revenge, you've got them right where you want them.
