Most of this is the worst advice I've ever heard (at least for the online mode). In campaign mode, slow and deliberate is fine. In some online team modes (TDM and CTF), you can stay in one place and snipe if you have backup covering your butt--and even then only if you're really good.
In free-for-all deathmatch---never stop moving. You take cover behind a crate and take your time taking someone down, me or someone else is going to pop you in the back of the head and then steal your kill before you know what happened.
You probably don't suck. It is difficult to get used to game once most of the people playing have had it for weeks and you're just getting started. Play on unranked servers (where you are more likely to find newer players), and practice getting headshots while in motion (if you stop to shoot at them, that makes you a very easy target). Just because your aiming reticule is red doesn't mean you're hitting anyone, especially with submachine guns. Those bullets are spraying all over the place. Once your aim improves, you won't need a full clip to drop them.
You can still make good use of cover (read: corners and doorways) while in fast motion. Know how many bullets you have, and know you're going to need to reload before it's actually time to do it. Dashing (sprinting with the C button) around a corner for the reload let's you not take as many hits and gives you a little healing time. If you still need more time, you can do this more than once, and it's wise to have areas with more than one corner option (a corner next to a doorway etc).
To be able to use cover in this way, you need to know the maps very well. You can't be tripping on stuff and getting your body caught on the sides of whatever refuge is in the streets. You need to be familiar with the terrain and always know where good corners are, and be able to find them while moving backward and darting side to side. Start your own server and password protect, and you can run through all of the maps getting familiar with them without getting shot at. You can choose one area (preferably one with nearby ammo) and get to know it very well, and then just keep moving in that area. Once you've got that down, add more areas to your skill set, and before long, you'll be comfortable fighting anywhere.
