I cannot be the only one scared of this.

>Sometime after that we will launch an update that for the first time in Quake Live's history, will bring about some big gameplay changes. We want to ensure that FPS fans who check out the game on Steam have more fun in their first match than the current gameplay systems allow.

Watch others play, a lot. Spec if teams are uneven, watch the highest score players and see what they do. Imitate those same techniques in similar situations. I recommend playing Quake Live's Clan Arena. You start with all guns and full ammunition, rocket jumping does not hurt you, and everyone has one life so it teaches you critical team playing skills. If you just want to go straight into deathmatch, never underestimate armor or health. That shard or armor or blip of health can be the difference between you or your opponents life. Know when to run away and restock, never go into battle without stocking first. Never use mousewheel or whatever else to switch weapons, always make hotkeys (for me, E is rail, Q is grenade, F is rocket, R is lighting gun, 3 is shotgun, et cetera). Always move, never be the still target. And lastly, PRACTICE. I still suck shit, because I started playing less than a month ago, but man I have gotten a lot better, and have gained a real appreciation for the game.
