What Noob's Need to know Part 1

Keep moving. Always stay on the move. A stationary target is a dead target, and you never know when there's someone on the other side of the map using a sniper rifle to draw a bead on your melon. With very few exceptions (see the next tip below), don't ever stop moving, especially when in a firefight. Learn to use the mouse so you can aim while moving around to dodge your opponents' attacks.
Crouch when shooting. Crouching increases your accuracy, so if you get a chance to take a pot shot at someone while they're not looking, or if you're lying in ambush, make sure to crouch so your first shot will be much more accurate. Crouching while your sniping is also a must.
Keep crosshairs at head level. When walking or running around, keep your crosshairs at around head level. This way you'll have a better chance at a headshot if someone jumps out at you. It also decreases the time it'll take to draw a bead on someone's noggin.
Jump around corners. Corners, jump into the air and turn to face the new direction. This will make you harder to hit (especially with a headshot) to anyone lying in ambush on the other side.
Switch to the pistol when needed. Don't underestimate your sidearm. If you run out of ammo or have to reload in the middle of a firefight, switch to your pistol and unload a few rounds while retreating. It may just save your life.
Cut your teeth right.
When starting out as a Counter-Strike newbie, get used to weapons like the MP5. It's an automatic weapon, fairly accurate, and will serve you well to build up your skills before tackling other weapons.
Master the crouch jump.
Pressing jump then crouch is an important technique to master. It'll allow you to jump onto taller obstacles, and will let you jump through narrow windows or gaps. Practice it and learn how to use it well.
Always be unpredictable.
Don't do the same thing over and over. Opponents learn fast, and good opponents learn really fast. If you score an easy kill or ambush one time, don't do it again right away. Take alternate routes through the level occasionally. Being predictable will quickly get you killed.
Stick together, team!
Always travel in groups. The odds of survival are greatly increased when you have backup. At the start of the level don't go rushing off by yourself. Stick with your teammates and stay alive.
Learn the level and objectives.
Know thy level. If you don't, glide around in spectator mode to learn the layout and objective locations like bomb points and hostages. Pay attention to where other players go and pay attention to the layout of a map. Knowing the quickest way from point to point is the key for success.
Rush the sniper.
When you spot a sniper, don't try to outshoot him. Either avoid him if possible, or rush right at him while moving erratically. Most snipers will freak once you get up close, and you can mow them down.
Use grenades.
If you can afford them, always buy a grenade at the start of a round. Toss them around corners where you suspect opponents lie, and use them to stop rushes and weaken opponents. Be careful with Flashbangs, though, as they can blind you and your teammates as easily as the opposition.
Balance your team's arsenal.
A team needs a mix of weapons. So, if you notice everybody on your team equipping to play the sniper role, buy an automatic weapon to help them out and provide cover.
Buy armor.
Don't forget to buy armor and a helmet. It'll greatly increase your chances of survival.
Always go for the headshot.
Headshots do lots of damage. 'Nuff said.
Fire in bursts.
Especially for weapons like the AK-47 that quickly lose their accuracy in automatic mode, firing in quick bursts is essential. Just tap the fire button/key quickly, and then tap it again.

Meaning I am an expert on the basics!  Too many times I have heard well you need to put in your time to learn. Which I agree on, but when you go play a sport a coach gives you rules and lots of pointers! Then by practicing you get the chance to excell. I want the noob's to have all the facts and help them be a better part of the team!
