Muddapaka and LovingKate have some good advice. I would suggest reading the material at afirstpersonshooter.tripod.com. There was some really good advice there last time I read it. One tip was to log in to a match and find the person on your team with the highest KDR and provide cover for them. Study them while you do. Watch what they do and learn from it. Also do some target practice. Go into an OMA Junk Flea and practice shooting the barrels and crates while moving at different distances.

You can also try out some flash games to fine tune your mouse movement like Weapon or Sierra 7 at SimonHasonDesign.com or the reflex training games at aim400kg.ru/en/.

Another thing you can do is study the youtube videos of FPS players like Baxstar (no longer making videos, mephisto55), ArcticDropShot, Undercoverdudes, and Happystick (FubarHS).

Bunny hopping has its uses but beware of the rage kicks if you really get good at it.

Regardless of what weapon you choose, if you're rushing you're running right into the field of fire so speed is your friend more than armor is. Speed gear is a must. Light Vest and Combat Beanie at a minimum if you can afford it. Also study the recoil pattern of your weapon. Figure out where to start aiming so you can let the recoil pattern of your weapon do the work for you.

I'm still battling back from a CRAPPY starting KDR and I refuse to buy a KDR reset if they're still avaliable. I was gifted a number of NX items but I believe that with enough practice you can still do well with GP weapons. Baxstar made a video of him using an M16 effectively and how he kept getting kicked for it. It is possible and you can get better.

I'm not on often but look me up if you want IGN: MDGeist
