In the starting of the match, look out for players that "stare" at you in the last seconds. If they are looking at you, there's a high possibility that he will attack you after the counter ends. It takes about 4-5 hits to knife you down, some players do this to get 2 weapons in the start (yours and his, provided his doesn't get stolen first!). If caught in a situation like this, the only solution is to counter-attack by knifing him to the death. Don't go for your weapon, as I said before, it takes just a few hits for him to kill you, but there's a possibility that you can get your weapon and kill him before he kills you, but it's highly unlikely.
 * First, Players that "stare"

Ok, in every players' mindset, there is either "Kill 'em All!" or "Run 4 yer life!". Now here's how to survive.
 * Second, Survive!

If you are a "Kill 'em All" person, then you'd be like Rambo. But the thing is, you get random weapons in the start, it will be your fate. Getting weapons like the AK-48, Army Rifle and even the Alien Gun, you can at least kill about 2-3 players in the spawn(provided you don't get killed by Rambo first). Getting weapons like the Pistol, Shotgun or the Double Trouble however, you'd better "Run 4 yer life" as they don't do sh--, you have a better chance surviving by finding another weapons' crate and hope that you get what you need.

After that, it would be the hunting game. Finding players won't be a walk in the park. You can use weapons' crates as traps when other players come to claim it, just hide in a position where people are unlikely to see you and wait for the prey. Or you'd like sniping. You need to have either the Army Rifle or the Sniper Rifle to get the job done, but you need to snipe in a high place. The Arched Cliff would be a great place but player's would be able to spot your "shadow" from afar, so use the Trees. You can get there by jumping on them from the mountain. There's a large area of trees for you to jump about and has a 360° view of the whole map but beware for other snipers. Although you may want to reach there stealthily, which brings us to the "camo" tip just below.

If you are a smart and a "Run 4 yer life" person, here's a few tips.
 * Get a "camo skin", do this by simply painting yourself similar to the environment. My favorite would be all black when playing in the night, as it would be harder for players' to spot you when running away.
 * Run for a only a few blocks.. Then run further, just to be on the safe side, hide behind a tree or jump into the river and look out for your surroundings, you don't want to be followed by Rambo or get sniped when trying to find a place to hide.
 * "Campin'"! The best way of TRUELY surviving, camp in a dark/hidden area and wait things out, just be sure that you should keep an eye for Rambos.
 * Now what? If you are the last one standing, you know what you have to do. You can choose to be chicken and wait for the timer to end(extremely noobish behavior) or go out and end this. But beware, the last rival may be a sniper or just a camper like you, so you need to be alert. Try walking around the whole map by using the corners to avoid getting spotted. You can try to get him talking by using the the chat and type simple replys like "Where r u?" or "I c u!" or "Meet at spawn", he then may choose to reply back which provides you with more time catching him or he may keep quiet, just try to keep the conversation going. Don't try to chat while standing out in the open, that would be just dumb (killed a player who did just that + myself getting killed by doing just that).

Well, that's most of what I learned until now. Hope this helps you all!

(Copied from my profile) I use all of these tips/strategies, plus a few more. Let me contribute:

Freeloader: Grab all weapons in sight or in chests, then change to the weapons you want. Even if you see a weapon that you hate, pick it up anyway because it gives others a weapons disadvantage.

HEADSHOT: Aim for HEADSHOTS. This is extremely important and can mean the difference between a win and a loss.

Farting: Just kidding.

Slow Fire: When you see a player, and they are unaware of your presence, don't start firing right away. This may reveal your spot and get you killed. Try and get closer to them first, to the point where they wont have time to react, and then you can fire.

Not So Dumb: Whenever someone tells you to "Go to spawn" or "Come to the center", type "Ok" in the chat. This will lead them to believe that you will do what they say. Only a fluke that you aren't. Instead, peer an extremely safe distance from to spot they told you to go to, and look at the surroundings. You may eventually find them.
