Brilliant advice. ;)
If you are caught in the open, that's a nasty situation for any but a really good player. :) Plasma grenades are always good, otherwise, learn how to run and dodge effectively while keeping a constant rate of fire into the thing. I'm not very good, but I tend to try to hit them with the pistol while they are relatively high up, then as they get closer, start peppering them with a plasma rifle. If they get really close, start throwing grenades while leaping around like a deranged grasshopper.
The real trick is to avoide getting crushed. If he's just trying to shoot you down, you can usually get them to get off your back while shooting at them, as you'll do enough damage and avoid a lot if you keep moving.
Rule of thumb, though - on any blood gulch map with banshees or tanks, don't run around on foot in the middle of the map far away from cover. :)
