I'd like to add:

Just because you are playing pump doesnt mean you cant take advantage of semi markers. If you have team mate with semi's they can help you a lot. Even if they are crappy players they can still hold down the enemy and distract them while you flank and tag from side/behind.

If you are playing pump, especially stock, other players under estimate you and get sloppy if they know it is you that they are in a fire fight with, this means they'll stay exposed longer, they'll make stupid moves, and they'll be loud and not care about concelling themselves. All of which you can use to your advantage.

Also, new players and average players alike will listen to who ever has a good plan and is gonna keep them in a game. And you need them just as much as they need you, so be nice to your team and get them to listen to you to help you make those moves. Most teams will listen to the guy with the most expensive marker or the fancy equipment, but once they get in a game and they are getting hosed and see the stock class guy tearing up the place and helping out, they'll soon change their minds.

Some people treat playing pump and stock as very stealthy and silent, but I tried that and got destroyed. So i tried some new tactics, it seemed i was much more effective if I played the commander role. I'm a very fast running and from playing in the woods ever since i was a kid, i am very good at running in brush and trees. So i usually run from team mate to team mate assuring everything is fine and telling them whats going to happen.

Also the biggest problem with new players is they are afraid and camp, but if they see the guy with pump/stock class moving up, it reassures them that its safe and gets them into the game, not only letting them have a better experience, but it gets your team moving and lets you take control.

playing semi is a gun game. Yes theres other things to it, but it all comes down to using your gun, when i play pump its a mind game, It all comes down to me munipulating the enemy and my team mates.
