1) Practice, a LOT, the people who are really good at these sorts of modern warfare games are those people with literally hundreds or thousands of hours of play under their belts.
2) Learn the game, you need to learn every single game mechanic there is, use them all to your advantage, don't play the sniper or the camper, play everything as and when it suits you our your team
3) Battlefield awareness, good players soak up all available information, who is where on the radar, which flags are being capped and which are friendly, where team mates are relative to you and their movements, when they die etc
4) Adapt your play style quickly and employ counter strategies, if you're being camped by a heli in BF3 then go anti-air, don't rely on others to do it for you as in pub servers that's rare. If there's a shortage of a specific class in the team then switch and help out, what is good for the team is good for you, if the entire team is working together and supportive then your job of killing enemies is easier and your game will improve.
5) Know the maps inside out, if you can't navigate the map backwards without bumping in to things then you don't know the map well enough, you should know where common choke points are, where common camp points are, which route is best to take under a specific conditions, where is safe to retreat to etc.
Mostly it's just practice, if you're observant then you'll pick all of that up naturally over time, just pay attention to everything, you have more resources than just movement and shooting, you can always tell noobs on servers when you run around a corner into a team mate and they shoot at you because they thought you were an enemy, they weren't checking their radar! Use it, use your entire HUD, swap kits when helpful, use everything to your advantage, inventory/attachments/grenades, see a fallen kit then pick that up for 2 seconds throw a health pack or ammo or a sensor then swap back to your kit, use ALL the resources you have I cannot stress that enough, if there's a tank at base or a jeep then use it, don't play in roles like "sniper" or "demo" and ignore stuff outside your class, play to win and use whatever you think helps at the time, only about 1% of players will pick up a fallen kit sniper kit and throw a sensor nade (BFBC2) and then switch back, but you should be because that gives you a temp bonus of seeing all enemies near you, that's a huge benefit, no one ever does it!!
