Everything is predictable. Each opponent has a predictable pattern. Learn that pattern and you wont suffer so much as a scratch.
Focus on strafing and moving OVER shooting. It's more important to avoid damage than deal it out.
Take it easy. Mechanics can take a while to learn, so keep at it and it will click.
