I'm currently in the process of trying to get my knife badge, are there any particular stories or advice anyone wishes to furnish upon me?

I seem to max out at 4 knife kills in a round. The ones I usually knife are fellow snipers, once i've spotted them depending on the distance i'll sneak round and knife them.

find a 64 player map e.g sharqi, with only maybe 15 or 20 players.....then u should easily find 7 snipers within 300 tickets

Snipers?

Snipers my arse!

Go to a full karkand server. Join the MEC team. Wait untill the initial 'nade spam has finished and then wait next to the gap of the fence. (you know the bit, with the roof next to the hotel point, that alleyway, and then the way in from the US side.) camp untill someone walks in, hopefully distracted by a dozen of your teammates, and lunge at them. Get it right and they'll never see you coming.

If someone sees you, and you're really close to them, jump around like mad, go prone, just do anything to dodge them. I usually jump around em in a circle, prone when im in the air, and stab em as soon as im on the ground again.

Sharqi... tv station if your mec... The hills & sniper spots if your USMC. But it is more difficult since the patch, because the support can easily take you in a frontal assault, so you have to be really sneaky now. But just go for long round times, work alone, be a medic or assault so you can either heal yourself, or use flashbangs to get the drop on a target your going to knife. Dont try & get it if your using a kit with a low sprint bar, because you cant runaway or run too an enemy quick enough a lot of the time. Having extra sprint keeps your options open. Also avoid targets with good close range weaponry e.g. dao's, jackhammers & support unless they arent moving & dont know your there.

Hope that helps

When I received mine I joined an ea server on Karkand and ended up on the US side.  The US team wasn't doing shit and our forward spawn point was being camped heavily.  So I started stabbing people left and right....got two and three in a row.  Never had an opportunity like that arise again it was pretty cool.

I got mine on karkand 64 player, be USMC and then try to get a couple of kills by spawing on the left and then running around to where the mec players spawn at the hotel i allwys find support guys layin on the floor next to that bin or on the mounted gun. After the US has taken that point do the same thin go around the back of the square and u will allways find support or snipers layin on the floor lookin forward. Lol i know that is not explained properly but i think u will get what i mean.

Assign a buttton to quickly pull out the knife, like your middle mouse button.
Make sure u are medic as the ability to sprint and to heal your self is invaluable.

Oh and watch out for that dreaded purple heart! Good luck.

You, me, AND EVERYONE else that plays this game has done it the same way.....Cuz there is no way on earth you are going to get knife or pistol gold badge while playing a normal round....Not to mention the 100 knife kills and 500 pistol kills you need, before you even are allowed the chance to go for your IAR requirements. 

So I will give ALL of you that say you have gotten all of your requirements for these 2 badges during normal gameplay conditions a preemptive.........BULLSHIT!!!....

Have a nice day!!........

I though he was just talking bout the basic knife badge??.
If he was talking bout expert then well yeah i agree i could never do it on a "normal" game it would be sheer luck for me.

Sharqi is great, got my vet and expert there. Sniper is good if your amongst spawns the Ghillie suit seems to confuse people understandably, gives you more time to knife, also get a long sprint. Go to a half full 64 player server. Construction site is very good for it or the hole in the fence between city entrance and surveilance post. Surveilance post is good for it too :p. Tbh anywhere on Sharqi will do the job, karkand is far over rated for getting knife badge I'd pick warlord over it any time.
Anyway dont get frustrated if you do try again later, its really not that hard i got about 19 kills when i tried for my expert only took a few attempts as well.

I think you are pretty lucky to get 7 kills for your basic in normal gameplay....Since as soon as you knife someone, they usually make thier mission to hunt you down at all costs to seek revenge lol

Sharqi, USMC spawned at the city entrance and ran for the MEC uncap and raped around knifing as a medic.

Eh its really rather easy to get the 100 knife kills just resist the temptation to shoot people when you come up behind them and getting 17 kills in a round really isnt very hard either just use your brain. Getting 500 Pistol kills im not there yet, but playing sniper helps, shoot them once with the rifle then finish them with pistol.

Have my basic knife and vet pistol... yes the Expert is hard to get... that's why is call "expert"... And on any of those 2 badges, you have to get out of your normal game play to get them... meaning accepting a low K ratio...

Pistol is the easiest of the two... Snipe once and pistol once and you get a kill.

For knife badge, work as team with one of your buddy (Noooo, no stat padding).... make sure he stay close so he can revive you when you die... the hard part is the respawn waiting time and running back in your position.

Play as a lone wolf and it will be harder, but feasible.

I'm not an expert in knifing and my reflex is to go for the easy kill....which most of us do. People with Veteran and Expert knife always think about getting knife first.... Do that and you will get them too. And it's normal to take time to get those if you don't make it your main focus. I'm so tired of people who wants all the badges after playing this game a few hours... IT TAKES TIME!!! Just play the game...

It's not because you can't do it that means it's bullshit. And if people are happy of having it after they went on a knife only server (which is padding BTW), it's their life. But I prefer to try getting it the hard way...

Well, I have played this game as much as anyone (normal person) I guess.......It really seems to me that you simply do not have the time to hunt a victim that is ripe for the picking, wait to respawn when you get killed, and execute attacks, all in normal play.....there is too much time that laps inbetween each kill, and death. ALso, if you are not getting killed all the time while you are running around with a knife, then you probly aint where the action is and aren't getting the IAR fulfilled anyway. Unless, of course, the rules are knives and pistols only.

SO come on Chowley, you can tell me........not even a little abnormal gameplay to help with that knife badge????  I promise I won't tell a soul!!! lol

If you got SF, then go on Iron Gator - the close combat inside the ship is great for knifing.

Lets face it, getting all the kill requirements for ASSULT is pretty tough in normal gameplay,( 40 kills and 44 for SF), I got all my assult badges legally but, just under the wire before round ended. I will admit that the tank and APCs sure helped out my IAR requirements. I consider myself a fairly average player, but i found it almost impossible to get 40 or 44 kills with just the G36 alone before the round ended. So that is why the knife and pistol seem unobtainable to me "legally".

I got my basic knife not so normal game. As for my pistol badge and all pistol kills I got in a normal game. If I shot someone with the primary weapon and I emptied a clip, then I know that if I pull my pistol and put one round into them.  Usually that one round will take them down. Also I just about got the pistol sooner, I was playing on karkand as the commander. Did a scan and found one coming straight at me, had pistol out already, put 3 in chest 1 in the head. Did this 4 times to 4 different people. Never the same one, guess they learned the first time.
