After 3 hours multiple and multiple and multiple death's I GOT IT.
(completely ruining my already fucked k:d ratio)

But what i wanted to talk about was the lessons it taught me, i know many of you have expert and "What-not".

So feel free to add what you have learned from stabbing guys in the face.

*Learning to use the UAV and mini-map effectively.
*Persistence- the joy of being killed mulitple times (15-20) to be exact, but still get up and go again. All the while avoiding the purple heart.
*Dont be intimitated by higher ranks, they will die just like everyone else, except you will have to adjust to the bunnyhopping.
*Surprisingly enough stabbing your teammates doesnt count.
*Lie prone you get own (poor attempt at rythme)
*Those that pull out a knife too duel should be honored A special mention to (Paddy510)

Now if Chuys crashing of the server, has affected the stats page and thats why im not seeing my badge then all good but if not im seriously going to cut sick, burn down EA.

Its such a proud moment to see your hard earned badge in colour, i now have exactly 50 kills so i could probably go for Vet knife, but theres a greater chance i could stab myself first

I work at 50% with the knife YAY.

I thought Expert knife was pretty easy. but that was after about 4 days of nothing but stabbing peeps in the face

Yeah, once you get used to it, it isn't really hard to get 6 kills.
When I went for basic I got it, along with 10 extra knife kills. I wish Ihad 50 global knifes so I could've gotten Vet in the same match.

I was playing Night Flight as SAS, joined mid-way (we had 170 tickets, enemy had 150) And I got 7 knife kills with 60 tickets remaining. Ppl just need to get off Karkand and knife badges aren't that hard.

I have been trying forever to get my knife badge without any succsess, I have 70 knife kills global but the best I have ever done IAR was only 4. What are the best maps for this? I have read that yo should use either Armor class or Anti-Tank because they have better armor or health. Is there a class that has better knife skills then the rest. It seems like sometimes I go for a kill and stick someone 2-3 times and they just turn around and shoot me. I thought that maybe the Special Ops had better knife skills because I usually get the kill if I can get in close enough but the trade off is that Special Ops has low armor. Is there a certain place to hang out to get all the kills I need? If I can't even get my basic, how am I ever going to get vet or expert?
Damn, i suck at this game!!!

The best way for most people is:
Karkand (lotsa servers and lotsa people)
Bunny hopping (just get it over with--much easier this way)
Medic (heal yourself)
Luck/noobs (duh)

That's how I got mine, and that's how I got 17 (yeah, one too few) knife kills in a round

Most posters recomend Sharqui (lots of alleys, corners to hide), Karkland and Oman. I used Oman, hiding behind the walls at the beach flags. All the fighting here is close-in, which gives you better chances to surprise and kill before your opponent can react. You can also hide up in the observation posts and jump down on the enemy. Also, you can hide behind the wall if armor enters the fort. I got mine on Oman quickly using this approach. I recommend medic, so you can heal damage after making a kill. You can also sprint longer as medic than you can as anti-tank. There is no difference in knife skills between classes.

My last recommendation is to get drunk and just have fun while trying for basic knife. It is much easier when you're not feeling all that pressure of getting the badge. After a while, it gets downright funny running behind people like Freddie Kruger just waiting for tehm to slow down show you can shiv them in the back.

The best advice i can give is to crouch when u knife someone, ever since ive done this ive been able to get expert. Also has anyone noticed that somtimes u can hit someone(hear the sound and see the poof of smoke come off them) but they wont die, i've hit a guy twice without him dying before!

I think Basic Knife is those "Magic Eye" posters that you have to stare at to see a 3-D image.... some people can do it easily with little effort, some have to try REALLY hard, and some will just never be able to do it. I'm at least in the second group (9 kills, 60 deaths with the knife after two tries at the badge) and hopefully not in the last group. But it is NOT an easy badge for everyone.

Use the Spec ops, you can grapple to the building where snipers are hiding and get 2-3 in a row on the building.

I have almost 1,100 knife kills. Just takes practice and determination. Also takes a mindset to press 1 instead of 2 or 3.

I got mine finally awhile back in a map but the damn things didn't show up on my BFHQ and its been like a month now. Wonder if it had something to do with killing this same guy 5 times with the knife.
