omg, 17 knife kills iar...

i just got the bronze last night and hoped the silver and gold would drop the iar reqs...

bummer

trying to get all my unlocks, enough people are complaining its "too easy"

same folks probably:

a) already have all the unlocks
b) play 2142 12 hours a day, every day

i mean cmon... gold requires 50 hours for each kit

i play alot, i got 2142 the first week, i did start over once, and i have

support 31 hours
recon 15 hours
assault 15 hours
engineer 14 hours

still need 120+ hours on the kits for the general gold and people complain its too easy

50 hours on 4 kits is easy compared to 100 hours on 7 kits.

Agreed.  People who got ALL the awards in BF2 are either extremely good...or have no fucking life outside of video games; trust me, there were a few, and the amount of hours they probably needed to accomplish said task is ridiculous.

Damn, I thought it was hard enough getting 10 in a round.  In fact, I got my first collectors pin last weekend and I can't see any way to get 2 pins + 1 extra knife kill.

The pistols might be marginally better after the latest patch but 18!
No, I will never get that badge.

They should at least not SCREAM the hell out when you kill with knife; htat would make the goal more reachable.

Stealt is what makes the knife worth, with that screamming madness, forget about it....

this game does not express stealth very well, lol

someone will always pop up behind you somehow in all the action

i get my knife kills happening upon some unlucky bastard shooting someone else

i have enough trouble getting even 2 knife kills IAR, i have this horrible reflex action, whereby whenever i see a enemy, i put several large caliber bullets through his head, as opposed to a knife. Shame really

I got 10 IAR, BUT I ONLY HAD 48 KNIFE KILLS! So what did I get? The Bronze, and you can't get IAR before the other requirements!

How often do you get to kill 7 people with 1 life?!! Never! Oh, how I love sneaking up on the 2nd floor and knifing in a row! then jumping off and knifing 3 afk guys and a commander!

Tip for knife kills....


Smoke nade on the titan. Get behind the attackers and smoke nade them, they won't see you coming. The day I got gold, they blew all our consoles, and like 20 guys managed to break into our reactor core. I threw 2 smoke nades in their and dashed in, managed to kill 12 people in the chaos. No one was paying attention to me, and when people realized they were dying, they just went around reving people, making medics an easy target. Trust me, smoke nade in a tight space makes players into spazzes.

I did it on a 64 man Cerbere Landing server, just use the camo now that it actually works, it's pretty easy.

I'm surprised at how easy the explosives badges are to get (not that I'm complaining). I managed to get alternatively 17 and 18 explosive kills in different rounds...the magic 19th and 20th kills continue to elude me.

got bronze pin and silver in one round on belgrade about 32 people
active camo did the job to get me behind 2 or 3 and then i just knifed them
i think people using camo are harder to spot on belgrade and gibraltar then on any other map
i personally would choose belgrade over gibraltar since there are more ways to get close to your enemy
the flag above the playground (don't know its name right now) is a nice point to get some knife kills because of the trees and stuff

This morning I got my bronze and silver collectors badges and two collectors pins IAR... First time I'd tried for knife kills. Was a good round, ended with 653 career points. Shame about the repeated tking (people spraying the guys I'm knifing ). Still, they really should increase the requirements on a few things such as the golds for knife/pistol/kit/vehicle badges. It should be as hard as BF2's medal/badge collection.

I hope they dont nerf the badge requirements for knifing like they did in BF2. At first, only leet knifers and padders had it, then.... EVERYONE IS WINNER!!!
