Right out of the gates, the best advice I got by a mile, was to take a little bit of extra time to aim, and try not to cave to the pressure of shooting immediately before your opportunity passes.
Open fire a bit later and hitting is always preferable to blasting someone right away and missing, this obviously applies when you flank someone, of see someone from high ground who is unaware of you.
When having face to face encounters at close range being quick is always better unless you play shotgun.
Another tip that helps when you're new is to aim a little below where you mean to shoot at so the recoil will take you to the target. Aiming at the knees with an R99 will make your reliably hit the upper body without needing the recoil control skills of experienced players.
And last, I recommend using the classic response curve instead of steady, or the others, and probably start at lower sensitivity. 4/4 or 4/3 should be good, and you can later up that to 5/4.
Classic is better than steady, since the acceleration more accurately reflects how far you tilt your right joystick, while steady makes relatively finer adjustments with a little tilt, it accelerates very rapidly past a certain point, which makes it hard to stay on a running target at mid and close range.
I changed my steady back to classic after seeing all the pro controller players using it, and it helped a lot.
