Seeing as I was a 38 in Hardcore before rank reset...I might be able to help you.
If you're playing Tactical, stay in your base (that's what I do). Wait for the flag pitch up to you, so that you can score. Staying in your base is good for a few reasons. One, the other team doesn't expect you to be in your base, they expect you on offense. Plus, while in your base, you can guard your teammate who's bringing the flag back. But that's just CTF.
Now! In playing Team Slayer BR, don't concentrate on the power weapons (aka Energy Sword and Sniper) because with the BR, you're well protected. But, this doesn't mean if you're walking right by a Sniper don't pick it up...MOST CERTAINLY PICK IT UP. Most of all, what you want to do is concentrate on NOT DYING. While doing that, kills will "come" to you and you'll go positive.
PS I got lessons from Legit.
