Accomplish your objective to force the other team to make a move
Often the other team will be either camping, or moving cautiously, or waiting for you to make a move. Particularly when the round is drawing to a close and there are only a few surviving players left, you can try and turn the tide of battle by putting your enemies on the defensive. If you're a Counter-Terrorist on a hostage rescue map, go grab the remaining hostage and make a run for it. If you're a Terrorist on a bomb/defuse map, try planting the bomb in order to force your enemies out. And so on. If done carefully, this can often turn the hunter into the hunted, since now you will be taking the initiative and forcing your enemies into predictable, sometimes exposed, behavior (chasing after the hostages and their rescuer, defusing the bomb, etc.). If you're being hunted, try flipping the script.
Leave gratings and vents intact when possible
Untouched windows and vents serve as an early warning system. It takes noise to open a vent or grating -- not much if a knife is used, but enough to to be noticed if it's nearby -- and this can alert you to sneaking enemies even when they're not direct line of sight. Even for vents and destructible objects far away, seeing them destroyed -- or noticing later that they're destroyed -- can give you a heads-up as to enemy locations, provided you know your team isn't shooting at them. If you hold off on destroying vents and gratings, you'll know that when they're gone an enemy was responsible. 
Don't hesitate to sacrifice yourself for the team
The goal of Counter-Strike is for your team to win, not just you. To be a successful Counter-Strike player, you need to put your team above yourself -- and that means your team, not whatever clan you're in this week. To accomplish your objective, that sometimes means laying down your life for the good of the team. When your teammate is planting a bomb, you need to put yourself between him and the enemy. When the VIP is making a hasty retreat, don't hesitate to try to lead the enemy astray by moving out of cover and drawing fire while he can escape. When your teammate is making a run with the hostages trailing behind him, step in the line of fire to give the enemy multiple targets. Your team always comes first. 
Take out snipers first
Snipers -- enemy on high ground and watching over your advance, whether they're actually using sniper weapons or not -- are your primary concern. When you're on the offensive, competent snipers are the main impediment to achieving your objective. Give the highest priority to taking out the snipers; once they're gone you can continue on. Snipers are your biggest threat when advancing. Eliminate them first. 
When low on ammo and enemy is nearby, pick up enemy gun
When you're in the thick of things, often successfully reloading before you come across another enemy is the primary impediment to your success. When you've just downed an enemy -- particularly if you caught him unaware so he did not return much fire -- and you need to reload but other enemies are nearby, consider picking up the downed enemy's weapon. Obviously, this is a particularly good idea if his weapon is superior to your own. If your enemies are hunting you, they may wait until right after a firefight to make their move, figuring that you're probably distracted or low on ammo or reloading. Being fully prepared with a fully-loaded weapon can give you the upper hand. If you're low on ammo, consider picking up weapons from your downed foes. 
When sniping, relocate after being spotted
Snipers are deadly in any realistic game like Counter-Strike -- running out into open without cover is tantamount to suicide. But by the same token, an uncareful sniper can easily be taken down by an enemy sniper, or even an assaulting foe with an accurate weapon (like an AK47 or a Colt) and good aim. If you're sniping, once you're spotted, relocate to another position. It doesn't necessarily have to be far away, your head just needs to be poking out of another area. If you're firing at another sniper who doesn't yet see you and miss, he shortly will -- move to another position and resume the attack. A sniper in a known location is a soon-to-be-dead sniper. 
If the round ends and you survive, avoid enemy contact
If the round ends by something other than elimination -- i.e., the Counter-Terrorists rescue all the hostages or the Terrorists successfully destroy the bomb site -- then avoid enemy contact. At this point it does you no good to engage the enemy: The round is already over and you only risk getting killed. Part of Counter-Strike is managing your money, and risking losing your current weapon is not worth it when the round is already over. It doesn't do you any good to engage the enemy once the round is over.
If you find yourself isolated and outmatched, concentrate on taking out one enemy
Every Counter-Strike player has found themselves out on point and has accidentally stumbled into the spearhead of an enemy assault. When you have no choice but to die, take someone out with you. Instead of spraying bullets at the entire general area, hoping to whittle all of the opponents down, concentrate on one individual and inflict all your might upon him before you get taken down. Your remaining teammates will be better off with one fewer enemy rather than that same amount of damage spread over each enemy. If you find yourself being overrun and are certain to die, concentrate on taking one enemy with you, to help out your teammates down the line.
