"I don't understand why msot of them kill themselves in the process that doesn't even get you points." if a tank is baseraping your uncappable, then destroying it would help your team greatly.

i was playing a game on an IO server , i was american. one of my squad mates snuck around to cap the Train. He was kicked rigth after it turned white.

Jihading in Jalalabad is just too fun not to do it.

On a side note,
Jihad in 2142 > Jihad in BF2 

There are Transport Hellicopters that kill enything on direct impact. And they spawn faster than enything else

Nothing worse then turning your turret around to see a spec ops bailing from a jeep and being too close in to aim low enough to smoke him before you're picking a respawn point. Sneaky bastards, god bless 'em

As you guys say, anyone can ram a tank, Gotta respect someone who is good enough to get clear of the blast and run off.

They give you another 'gold moment' opportunity too. It's a good feeling sniping a spec ops as he plants c4 on a friendly tank. It is a -great- feeling fluking a hit on the driver of a jihad jeep as he makes a bee-line at a friendly tank. Only done it twice, am man enough to admit them as more fluke than actual skill but dang it was sweet.

Apart from that, I always break into a big smile when I see a jeep drive past where the spec ops has gone to the trouble of racking up style points by attaching his c4 to the wheels. Spinning skulls on your vehicle for the win.

I'll admit that it's pretty fun being in a tank and barely getting off that tank round before he gets close enough to "jihad" you.  This is a very thrilling game because of these kind of elements.  The whiney bitch losers are the ones who play the game because of an anal addiction they have as they play for hours like zombies just to rank up, get a medal, etc.  They also get pissed when they fail to spot a claymore that blows up in their face, or just getting repeatedly sniped from someone they can't find.  I LOVVVVVVVVE getting popped by a sniper because it's very thrilling to equip a sniper rifle and hunt them down. 

Sooo many exciting parts to this game that can counter the losers' tactics.  I guess it's all in your attitude.

Although the hitbox lag on a fast jeep is pretty fucking massive. I often hit them with a shell, but it does nothing.

I have a fair amount of time in Tanks.... If a Jihad can get me multiple times....it is my fault. When I kknow someone is doing the jihad thing ....I just have to be a bit more aware. Come and get me  and after the first time or two I will smoke your  ass.

Stay out of intersections. Make sure if you are sitting still that you have enough distance to kill the jihad before he can reach you. Know where he is spawning and getting his jeep/ATV and ambush him first.

I got my Expert Explosives on Warlord strapping C4 to an ATV. It was so much fun!! A few guys bitched until I told them that I had 25 C4 kills and then they started laughing at me. At least I only killed myself a few times and at one point I rolled my ATV into a whole squad and got 5 kills with one button push.

Yes it is cheap...but so are a lot of other things players do in this game. Just get good enough so you can get the better of them...then they will stop and try to "Bitch" some one else.

In Bf2 i found it fun to take out tanks using the blackhawk. That was kinda jihading, i have no problem with it.

Iron..Go into an empty server. apply for commander and drop a crate near you. Then jump on an ATV and practice for maybe half an hour of .....drive  toward tank.... jump off.....let it roll so it just touches the tank.....run backwards and trigger C4.

When you get really smooth at that...then go try it on a real server. Don't limit yourself to tanks. Look for a couple ground pounders running in the street.... and do the same thing to them. Try parking the ATV at a spawn point.  Look for an engineer repairing the enemy UAV trailer and roll up behind him and get a kill and a point for destroying enemy assets.

Just a few tricks to try. If you want to get the C4 badge you HAVE to be a BITCH :-)

I love it when you accidentally clip a pole and it somehow sets off your C4 turning you into a massive fireball while 15 insurgents laugh at you.

I love sticking C4 on my tank, jumping out and pressing my button just before the jeep hits, that really seems to piss the Jihaders off Only way to counter lamer tactics is with an even lamer one if you ask me.

I jihad in the name of allah. DERKA DERKA ALLAH AKBUR! lol

I only actually suicide with the car when there is more than one armour near the car. Sometimes i dont even bail and just ram my vodnik into the tank. Belive it or not but i flipped a tank with my vodnik doing this, and still had enough armour to take out the APC.

Yes, I FLIPPED A TANK WITH A VODNIK.

I even have the amounts of Jihads ive done on my sig.

Jihad is a bannable offense  on some servers because DICE created a BFROE against Jihading because it is a gameplay exploit. Overall I personally feel jihading is an exploit and takes away from the gameplay experience on all sides. Armor should not be that easy to kill and furthermore nothing annoys me more than trying to get some viable transport for my squad only to be denied said transport by some jackass strapping C4 on to it.

DICE has said on multiple occasions that jihading is an unintentional gameplay element that they cannot actually fixed within the game engine (so they claim) without breaking the legitimate usage of C4. If they were to make it so C4 could no longer stick to vehicles many legitimate uses of C4 would be broken (such as sticking multiple packs on the side of an enemy tank and detonating them at once).

C4 is meant to be powerful yet as a balancing feature it has extremely limited range and a slow deployment. This  has been made very clear as DICE has nerfed the C4 chucking multiple times though it wasn't nearly as unbalanced as jihading is.

I have no respect for jihaders and I put them in the same lame group of players that runs around on 24/7 Karkand suicide dropping claymores in the alleys.
Planewhore never tells you in his dumb posts that his idea of the perfect BF2 is one where he can have a vehicle that cannot be killed so that his stats can be inflated with less effort. How hard is it to stop jihad vehicles with a tank? I would argue that the tank driver's job is much easier than probably everyone including the jihader. At least the person that is jihading is willing to place themself in combat outside of a tank! There is actually risk involved in a strategy like that, tankers barely need to take any risks to get their kills. Planewhore knows all this, tho. Good luck getting EA to further overpower vehicles Planewhore! It really makes so much sense to everyone.
