Familiarizing yourself with the controls and user interface (UI) is paramount. The default controls are intuitive, but customization options are available. The UI provides vital information such as your health, ammo, objective markers, and team status. Pay close attention to the 'Pagers Remaining' counter during stealth and the 'Assault Wave' indicator during loud sections. Mastering these elements will significantly improve your situational awareness.
