Seriously: Unless you play the game for this badge, and forget the team, I don't see how you get this badge. Frankly, even playing a round just for the badge, I have a hard time seeing how you'd get 7 kills with a knife in a round (considering I've only gotten 2 in a round ever).

Any advice would be appreciated. I hate that I need this for a rank advance (which I only care about so I can try playing with some new weapons in the game!)

Play on an urban map and basically just use the kife the whole time.

You do need to play the game to get the badge.

Play as a class with no armor, sprint at your enemy, then come out of it right next to them and shank them.

I will add this. I don't like that you have to run around like that to get the kills. It's hard to get up on someone sometimes when they have an assualt rifle and you just a knife, but thats what works. For some reason I still haven't gotten my pistol badge though.

I had a couple of guys cheating for the knife badge using me as the victim. I had to escape out of the game to stop it. Stupid stat padders. The guy doing the sticking was named cockzilla.

Cheers,

PS, I managed the basic pistol on Karkand (sic). I was MEC and just hid in the bush and killed the US as the came over the hill.

do you need to get all the kills in one round or cumulative? because seven seems ridiculous. im either on 2nd or 3rd promotion and i think i have 2 TOTAL for the whole time i've played.

i have basic and vet.

easy to get really playing on kirkland or on any night map in sf. Being sneaky is basicly the key. Dont stand in front of someone thats just stupid, you see someone from a distance? he runs around a building? start tp shadow him and then as he picks a target you can get up behind him from the side and whack!

Now getting the expert knife well now thats a different matter!

The best way to play this game is NOT to go badgehunting.

Another help is to choose something like a 32 player server with only 12-15 online. Captures take longer, the tickets change more slowly, and so you have long rounds with more kills, in which it's a little easier to earn points and badges.

I got my basic explosives badge last night. Took me a few hours of dying a lot and gettting 10-11 kills per round before I finally hit 13. I spent a couple of rounds trying to get my pistol badge too. I keep getting 4 pistol kills and then a round ends. D'oh! Oh well, still working on it since I'm almost done with school and then all I have to do is work for 2 weeks before summer school. \:D Hey Madaboutsims...how do you get the thing from hypernia?

try and find one of the servers running karkand and sharqi with knives & pistols only, got my pistol badge in one round doing that. plus it's an interesting change of pace to have to play using only your pistol.

Except thats against the ROE for ranked servers and you can get your stats wiped for playing on them.

didn't know that... what is ROE?

EA must not be too worried about enforcing that cuz the same servers are always up on the ranked list. regardless, it's still fun once in a while and i'll just find an un-ranked one next time.

it's too bad the badges are the way they are... sure the pistol & knife get used once in a while but you really have to be a badge pimp to realistically get 7 knife kills in a round while still actually playing the game

Yeah... the knife badge was really hard for me to get.

I am looking for the ROE to post a link to, but basically it is rules for ranked servers. Things like they can't alter the number of tickets so that you can get ridiculous points in a single round, no knife and pistol only servers, no infantry only servers, a bunch of stuff like that. I originally found it on totalbf2.com in their forums, and can't find it now.

the infantry only thing is a bummer... i think the game would benefit GREATLY from a reduced number of vehicles. or even if the spawn time on vehicles was much longer, to actually give the armor and APCs some value rather than the suicide wagons they usually turn into. along with using helicopters as guided missiles.

I saw someone post somewhere about giving an extra point to an infantryman who destroys a tank or APC to actually give incentive to blow them up. All too often I see an LAV spawnraping on karkand, and no one else is trying to kill it.
