Cool,Good luck with the knife badge. Getting that one did wonders to my kill / death ratio

I am now working on my veteran pistol and kife badges.

 

[Gator Shawn]

How in THE hell do you get 7 intentional knife kills in a round?

 

[Gator Shawn]

Still playing Karkand. Found a good driver/engineer combo. Driver knows how to stay hidden and then move out and fire. Keeps himselfs covered. I hopped into to one of the side ports and racked up a few kills and a nice sum of team points from the driver/gunners kills. I moved back and forth into the empty seats to keep our "six" clear. That's the kind of gameplay I enjoy.

Speaking of which. It's truly unfair how quickly you can enter/exit vehicles. Considering how invulnerable you are from a pursuing soldier when you get into the vehicle, getting in should present some exposure/risk.

In just my limited game play, I've died several times when my quarry "disappears" into a LAV and gets the gun around before I can find cover.

 

[Mad Cow]

quick question. do you have to finish a round for a badge to count. I ask because i decided to dedicate today to getting my basic knife and pistol badges. I got the pistol badge on oman, but later in the round, my ping jumped to 250+ and i was kicked. The badge didnt show up in my awards immedietly, but maybe it will later. Anyone know?

I think in order for the badge to "stick" you need to finish the round.

I hope I'm wrong, keep checking your awards page and see if the badge shows up in a couple of days.

Good luck

Actually, I would disagree. I think it will show. Just give it time. I have gotten awards from rounds I have been kicked.

 

[Gator Shawn]

If you guys don't mind, would you be interested in playing maybe a 32 player game tonight on a 64 player map?

 

[Cunning Linguist]

suddenly I get "invalid CD key". Apparently my key crackers aren't woring anymore. Suggestions, other than buying the game?

This is the only game that I have that I will not use a CD crack on, because it will blacklist your CD key if it catches it, and it will fairly often.

Anyone heading in tonight? I'll be on...

 

[TLEF316]

i took a beating today going for my knife badge. i might be on a little later to try to recover

 

[Gator Shawn]

I created a "clan" on bf2tracker called FBG Free For All. The password is something I think we could all "get behind": "ncstategirl"

I just wanted to see how the clan stuff worked on bf2tracker, if you join it (if you're nolt already in a clan there) so we can track our stats together.

The learning curve on this game is not as steep as I feared it would be. I've gotten much better.

knife fills.....how? I cant even get 1. Maybe ill try it on sharqi, because it aint working on karkand. too fast paced.

Kark might be your best bet - the chaos is such that you might be able to slip behind a couple people and get a cheap kill or 2 with the knife. Play as USMC on a 64 player server and try to get into the alley before the 1st cap point - if you can get in behind some of their troops you can get a couple of kills usually without going down - but i'll give you its VERY tough, took me a while to get it.

I love when you see a dude camping and come up behind him and knife him. Ultimate disgrace for him. Then of course you tea bag his corpse.

Holy smokes, I got to that hallway as a MEC Engineer. That shotgun is crazy, I'd unload all 7 shots into a group of Marines coming through the fence, then run like crazy.About half the time I'd get a kill and make it to safety to reload. It was very fun. But eventually the Marines took control of that point and I had to go back to Assault.

LOL. I'm sure I've been bagged. I get very myopic sometimes. Need to work on that too.

How in THE hell do you get 7 intentional knife kills in a round?

Play as MEC on Karkand and find a high traffic area to set up camp.

Play as MEC on Karkand and find a high traffic area to set up camp.

Or get behind the USMC lines at the initial spawn point on the hill to the left and get the snipers that camp up there.

Lol, basically do alot of the things that would get you kicked from a server - aka camping uncappable flags. Sucks, but it works. Don't be surprised either if you get banned from a server either!

You know what would be a good map to get the knife on? Wake - let me explain. Go spec ops, jump on a plane or hitch a ride to the carrier as the Chinese. USMS is not looking for baddies on the carrier, so I bet you could shoot off 3-4 kills before they were even on to you. Repeat a couple of times and you are gold. I would recommend that you do this on an Official EA server, since that is where you will find more n00bs and lesser skilled players. However, the tea bagging might be a giveaway, so you might want to refrain a bit.

 

[TLEF316]

been trying for the past few hours, but also trying to get my K/D ratio up, so i wasnt just running around with the knife out.

The one thing i learned is there is no point trying to knife someone who is moving. Im not good at it, and they just run 2 steps and unload on me. I was on Oman, and got 3 or 4 kills coming behind guys that were laying down.

One thing ive also learned is that i ampretty damn good on that map, at least against infantry. My mid-longe range shooting skills are getting very good now, and its very rare that i lose a 1-1 infantry battle to anyone but good snipers. Guys were bunny hopping between the CP's on the ocean, and i was just picking them off left and right with Spec ops

If it werent for the choppers and jets i would have had like a 3 or 4 to 1 K/D ratio over the last few hours.

Normally i wouldnt care about the stupid knife badge, but with the new patch coming, i dont want to miss out on first sargent if the rank requirments change and i get bumped up without the knife badge.

Actually thats a great point, I better get my Trans & Demo badges. Ugh, people are goign to be pissed at me for C4 suiciding on Kark.... i can't STAND when people do that, oh well only for 1 round.

See, I honestly don't care much about that. You get whatever rank you earn, so I am not gonna go out of my way to use a pistol or knife just so my rank can have a smilie on it or something.

 

[TLEF316]

i dont think you need transport or demo for first sarge. i think you need it for a higher rank, but i forget which one

It's not really a higher rank, though. It is just a *rank*So you have 1st Whatever and you have *1st Whatever*

 

[TLEF316]

20,000 points without all the basic combat badges gets you master sarge. if you have them, you get first sarge

50k gets you master gunnery. if you have basic armor, transport, helicopter, aviator, air defense and ground defense, you get sergeant major

In the Actual Marine Corps, being a First Sergeant or Sergeant Major earns you the nickname "Top", which is perhaps one notch cooler than Gunny or Master Gunny.

1. I am inclined to agree that Gunny is cooler nick than Top. 2. You don't have to say Marine Gunny. There are no other kind.

I met a lot more "Tops" that I didn't like than I met Gunnys I didn't like.

In my MOS in the Marine Corps we had a lot of Gunnys around, whereas in the regular Fleet you only have 1 or 2 per company.

Cool. My dad died when I was 15, so I never really got to hear much from him. He went through Paris a couple of years before Vietnam and at the time, received the highest marks ever recorded by a recruit. My mom kept a box of his stuff and there was a newspaper article about it. He has a lot of sharpshooting medals, as well.

 

[Gator Shawn]

I'm going to get geeked up on E-Ring tonight and then "I'm going in!"

Man, imagine how fun the air maps would be if there was an AA class with a Stinger or SA-18. The pilots have a huge advantage because they KNOW where the locks are coming from when they get locked up.

Similar to the anti-tank in Desert Combat from BF1942 having a Stinger. That would be cool. They should add that in one of these booster packs. I am looking forward to both boosters. I mean, at $10 a whack, that is no biggie.

BTW - Ordered the final piece to my gaming rig today - the 2nd 7800 GT for my SLI setup. I will be pVVning in no time now.

 

[Mad Cow]

I won't be on tonight. Gotta work till 7 PM, then home for dinner and time with the kids, then off for 2 hours of bball till 11 PM.

Going in, joining Gator Shawn I think.

Going in, joining Gator Shawn I think.

Yeah, I played awful when you showed up. Maybe I was trying to hard. I really enjoyed working with a good top gunner earlier. I was a tanker, communicating with the commander. Checking the coast is clear and then moving up the armor to support a river crossing. That was the kind of #### I live for.

I'm not interested in running around bunny hopping and dolphin diving and dropping c4 out of helicopters and ####.

Sure blame me! I was a medic just healing all the gung ho heroes who run head long into a firefight!They pinched us in to the back and we couldn't reclaim the river. Their team had a lot of dolphin divers.

 

[Mad Cow]

I might be on tonight while my wife watches ER, but then again, maybe not. 'Tis Survivor night, afterall.

 

[Gator Shawn]

I'm so freaking addicted to this game right now. I just want to take a break from work to go play....

Anyway, I can't decide which kit I want to play more. Engineers are fun, I like being in a tank as an engineer. I might try medic though. I want to get some ranks quick so whatever gets me to say Corporal or Sergeant.

 

[TLEF316]

ill be on later today too, probably tonight as well. Im gonna go for some badges and ribbons, i think. Ive got some easy stuff like ground defense ribbon, staff officer, armored service and meritorious unit.

Hopefully I get decent tax refund and can upgrade

I'd be more than happy to squad up and help you get them. Do you guys ever use built-in chat or teamspeak? I just like to know in advance what the plan is..
