To expand a bit on dodging, there are a few tricks that might help you.
For starters, never stand in one place, it makes you an easy target.
Don't walk in in straight lines, the opponent can see where you are heading and shoot you as easily as if you were standing.
If you're moving, and you should be, always move diagonally, as you mover faster that way.
Moving faster makes you harder to hit.
If you're using the AR, shooting and moving forward is slow as the AR moves you back every time you shoot. So, move backwards or strafe while shooting. Moving backwards towards a health pickup is prefered.
Stand on the edge of a corner. This will give you a good line of sight for shooting opponents as they move into your line of sight, and you're only one step away from cover. So shoot them as they come into view, and then step behind the corner. They will have a harder time hitting you as you are partly obscured by the corner in question, and will not be able to hit you at all when you move behind it.
Stand behind a big crate. This makes only your head visible, thus presenting a smaller target for the opponent to hit you. Ducking will completly hide you from view. You can shoot them with impunity if they're stupid enough to come to the open. If they shoot at you, they will have to adjust their aim after every shot, as the recoil really sucks when you need to hit a head poking behind a crate.
Approach corners from a wide angle, as you never know (except if you cheat) when a shotgunner is smilling behind one. Taking a wider angle to a corner gives you a few steps distance from a shotgunner, which makes your survival rate a bit better.
If you're on open ground, and are slugging it with someone else on open ground, dance around while you shoot, by pressing wasd randomly for short periods of time. This will make you harder to hit.
Crouching is good when peeking behind corners, or in a firefight. Don't crouch all the time, it's predictable, and slow to get around.
A backwards jump-crouch while shooting, even if it's hard to do, is probably the best way to retreat from open ground, back to the health, ammo and armor pickups. Shooting the AR while jumping makes you fly across the map at great speeds. The less time you're visible, the more time you spend not eating lead. Crouching while flying will make you a smaller target.
Ammo pickups are your friend while wielding the AR. You can never have enough ammo. Pick it up before going into battle, as you don't want to be left with only a pistol in your hands after you spend the 60 bullets you have.
If you have a sixth sense and know that an enemy might be behind a corner, start shooting before you round it. You get an early start on the bullet exchange if there's someone lurking behind the said corner. I repeat, the sooner you frag the opposition, the better. Dead enemies don't shoot back.
This sixth sense is hard to aquire, unless you practice magic, but you could press alt to see a minimap, on which you can see where your teammates are fighting. This will allow you to pinpoint some of the apposition.
If you're having trouble with the small magazine of the AR, try switching to the submachine gun.
If you really want to join a clan, switch to a sniper, and aim for headshots. The sniper is the deadlies weapon in the game, at any range. This will improve your aim considerably.
A switch to the shotgun will probably improve your dodging and suicide-charge skills.
You also might want to play a game or two of sauerbraten before AC. It is a lot faster. It will make you speed up. With that sped up up mindset, AC will become a bit slower. It's a jedi mind trick.
I hope it helps o/
