First of all, if you aren't already, play with a mouse. You can't look up or down in the original game, but you can use a mouse to turn horizontally with speed and precision.

Don't be afraid to use cover, if anything this is ideal for when fighting hitscanners, breaking their line of sight means they can't shoot at you, stick to a corner or pillar, pop in and out for shooting (timing it to the shotgun for instance) and avoiding being shot back, but make sure to fall back or move to other cover when monsters close in.
Don't rely on cover for all your engagements though, sooner or later you'll get to one where you have to stay mobile, either moving from cover to cover, or there just is no cover and you can't stop, avoid getting cornered.

Cacos don't have a sound file associate to it, but they do actually bite in melee, and they don't just bite real hard, they bite very fast, keep your distance from them like you're a ghost and Pac-Man just gobbled a power pellet.

Pinkies can be baited in melee, if you move away right in time as they bite down, they'll whiff, with some skillful moving you can dance with an entire swarm of them that way.
The chainsaw works reasonably well on pinkies as long as they don't surround you.

The Berserk pack doesn't just restore your health to 100hp, it lets you punch as hard as a rocket explosion, though the red tint wears off, you still have the super strength for the rest of the level.
For lone Pinkies, this is quite useful, and when you've got used to strafing, it can work on imps.

Infighting is not just really fun, it's really useful. When moving, align yourself so that there's a monster between you and another monster, maybe multiple, this can make them accidentally shoot each other and start infighting.
Monsters of the same species generally can't infight, normally, (an imp fireball won't hurt an imp), but guns ignore that rule, so zombies will gladly just blast away at each other, and they may often hit other monsters.
