Great advice,
The wiki is very important as the in game tasks tell you almost nothing about how to do them. Read up on Ammo as well, there's a lot of different types and some are next to useless - Ammo is more important that the weapon. the 7.62 x 39 PS highlighted above is great stuff for the first 10 - 15 levels.
Play in offline mode for a little bit to get used to the maps and gameplay
Watch Pestily 'The Raid' series - it's a good way how to learn progressing through the game, plus it's generally a fun watch. BUT (and this is the same for all streamers) do not attempt to play like him. Normal players and certainly beginners play at a much slower pace, sprinting around like he does will just get you killed very quickly.
Don't get discouraged by deaths - it's the best gaming experience around imo but is very difficult.
Good luck!
