Watching Your Team Mates and Observing The Opposition.
3) Watching where your team mates are going is another crucial aspect to consider. As there is little point in 3 or more team members running for the same power weapon or vehicle that ultimately only one player can utilize. But having 2 of you secure a power weapon is always a good solid tactic, and the preferred method.
Also it's a good idea to look out for team members who tend to play alone, help them out where possible without sacrificing your position or game plan. Or if you team member is sniping, give them cover, maybe with a shotgun, so they are able to focus on their task.

4) Observing the minimap, and viewing (catching sight of) the enemy from afar is another key aspect that begins at your basic level. Try to judge which way the enemy are headed, and why. Are they securing a power weapon? are they controlling the higher ground, or a certain vehicle? or holding up in a certain room or area?
Once an enemy spot appears on your radar you should have a very good idea of where he is. You should also be able to deduce from his movement, or lack of, things like: has he noticed you on the radar too, what is his objective (is he running for a power weapon or just hovering around a room or stopped there waiting to ambush you or your team.)
If you are out numbered, there is always the choice to retreat, don't always jump straight in, it rarely ever works. Unless, of course, you are confident in using a weapon like the Rocket Launcher to soften the enemy up.
The radar can only show you players that are close by. For larger maps, you will need to develop a keen eye so that when you spot an enemy you can gather an idea of his weapons, location and movement in a split second. Even from across the map on say team sniper matches. The moment you start not paying attention is where the match slips away.
Can you see how paying attention to your team and the enemy is key to a playing the right sort of game. At all times you should have a rough idea of where everyone is. What weapons are in control, and who is controlling them. Where an objective is (if doing objective based games).
Try to be aware of as much as possible at all times.
