I got mine with claymores on a 64 Karkand map with 16 players. Someone earlier gave advice on looking where the action is. That is very good advice. I kept moving from between hotel and square and warehoouse and cement factory. You have to keep moving.
warlord > ATV > APC's
Did it on Warlord with clays too. Unless you are not as silly as me and want to keep a nice clay k/d (since I suck at all important ones) it's very, very easy there.
Start at TV and/or other flags and switch to the palace as soon as the action gets started.
And to avoid those "No, not a clay kill!" messages:
Don't jump into any vehicle as long you have clays/mines out, since they will count as road kill instead.
Don't take up another kit, since the clays then will disapear as if you have died. They will count as clay kills for a short while, then show up as [kill] and finally they vanish.

Still having problems with mine, i cut it pretty close with the vet.
claymores in TV station @ Warlord. Claymores put in gooood postions, where one cannot see them outright but will not expect them. Get someone to chase after u, duck around a corner, put a clay and BAM. They wont chase snipers again. Or clay the spawns. Find a Warlord with 16 players, makes the rounds longer and therefore much easier to get the badge. Thats how i got it.
I went into a server with 20 people and 64 player map size in Karkand, and FF was off, so I made this awesome plan...
I sit in the back of a Jihad jeep with c4 on the front, and friend drives it, so when he gets close (I can see by external view), I blow it and replace the C4. I got my Expert C4 badge by a long shot (54 kills in that round with C4)

I finally got my Veteran last night. Just had my friend be supply and ran around the first 2 bases on karkland with claymores. Actually made it to 25, but ran out of tickets, I would have had expert for sure.
16 slot servers with 64 sized maps...the rounds take much longer...so you have the opportunite to get it.Start C4 and AT Mine and Claymoroning...it should work.
Got mine on Sharqi. 300 ticket. Just went all out with c4, and payed ALOT of attention to my uavs. Spawned MEC and would throw 2 c4 on the apc, drive close to a US flag, jump out and wait til the apc disappeared from the radar (meaning either the enemy took it, or it blew up...my money went on the enemy takin it) ...wait about 5 seconds after it disappears, cuz others may jump in, then detonate. Helped out really well.
On a side note, the game where I received my Exp. Expl....I also received my Good Conduct Medal.

I just got Expert Explosives this week
I did it on Warlord on a 20 player / 64 map. I had tried clays on Iron Gator and The Palace on Warlord with out a lot of luck. Seems I would always get killed by a grenade and then the clay would kill someone, but because I was dead it would show up as "KILLED" instead of "CLAYMORE"
So I started going on Warlord and grabbing an ATV......strap on 2 C4 packs, switch to detonator and scream around the map. The trick is to get quick enough so you line up on your target ( armor or even foot soldiers ....a cluster is even better) jump off the ATV and it rolls for like 30 feet then when it is close to the target ....hit the button. When I am on I can survive maybe 50-60% of the time then grab another ATV and do it again.
The ATV will also fit into the small alley behind the Insurgent Hideout where there are a couple spawn points.....if that is one of the only spawns for the other team ...sit there and then ride toward the spawning enemy and jump off and blow them up!!
I have to admit it is a bitch tactic.... and I got kicked a few times on servers where I specifically read server rules on loading and all the scrolling rules in game.....nothing about C4 suicide or anything ...but after a server admin got blown up by me a few times....suddenly I am being kicked for some lame reason.
Last night I just told everyone from the start I was trying for expert explosives and got positive feedback. I got it and there were over 70 tickets left and midway through the round another 2 guys started doing the exact same thing and both got Vet. Explosives. It was hilarious with 3 guys all screaming around on ATVs blowing shit up like crazy !!!
Like I said I know it is cheap, but it is a hell of a lot of fun .....beats sitting around hiding waiting for claymores or AT mines.
I never tried it on any server with a posted no C4 suicide or Jihad jeep rule !!! - just to clarify

the closest number off kills was 35 i needed 36 in that time ...
No i dont bother about that one ... i'm trying to get my expert pistol first ... i got the kill but not the kill in a round and i hate k&p so ..

I got my mine on Mashtur city. Just take the blackhawk, with a support guy, fly the chopper really high and keep carpet bombing the mosque.
Got mine with a mix of explosives. It started with a couple AT kills, then a bunch of JIHAD! and finished off the rest with claymores.
Thats pretty clever actually.. didnt think of that..0ktane wrote:

yeah i know, but its just not worth it to me just to get a badge on my stats page
Wait until you try getting something really hard like Expert Pistol Combat with its in-round requirement of 18. Oh hang on a second, you have that already... given how easily it appears you give up shall we guess how?
I tried and tried and tried and got pissed off.
I searched for an pistol/knife/explosives only server, one half round there with c4 and i got it
