2 General Tips

In games where its a race to the rockets (Narrows, The Pit): Begin pressing forward on the controller before the game actually begins so you are immediately moving when the game starts.

IMO, an even better strategy is to not race for the rockets - but go for whoever's going for the rockets. Especially on the Pit, pick up a BR and needler on your way to the rockets and you can just mow down people, or sneak behind the other team using the camo that spawns in the adjacent hallway and take them out from behind.

It's a bit harder on narrows, but even there a well timed frag grenade + single BR shot = dead rocket runner. It's also a good time to grab a mauler or shotty, go under the passage and get behind the enemy as they all rush for the rockets.
