As for how to survive, it completely depends on how are you as a player, and how much do you review your actions. Ask yourself why you died, from where you died. Believe me, this game is all about map knowledge; if you know where to expect gunfire, you will place yourself accordingly to not be in sight or in immediate danger. Also, LEARN THE SPAWNS AND KEEP THEM IN MIND.
