Just be careful, because ranked knife only servers are illegal and you can get your stats reset over playing on one.

What's the easiest way to get the badge then? Only a few cool people have knife fights with me, the rest are cheap and use guns. Anyone want to schedule a knife fight?

you get the badge the same way you get your other badges.... if you're not good enough with a knife, then why do you deserve a badge? (i don't) LOL

Scheduling a "knife" fight sounds like stat padding to me. Here's a tip: you can get expert knife badge easily without stat padding, the only requirement is: learn to play.

Ok, here's some real tactic. Easiest knife kills are sneaking up behind people. If you are killed and happen to notice an enemy going towards a certain spawn pt, spawn there and surprise them. Often times they will already be at the point, lying cozy in whichever corner they choose when you respawn, and sometimes you'll get lucky and spawn behind them... Snipers on top of buildings can be easy targets, except they usually have a claymore waiting for you at the top of the ladder. If you're playing SF and can get to a building higher than theirs, you can avoid the claymore they placed on the ladder by ziplining down to their rooftop (ie from the TV station in Warlord you can get pretty much anywhere), or passing up the perfectly good ladder and grappling up different place on the building...

If you're trying to get 7 or 18 IAR kills, each time you spawn immediately put the guns away and only carry the knife. Avoid the temptation altogether. Try and stay away from open ground, always have a wall or pillar or box you can use for cover. If you have a short distance to close between you and the enemy sprint straight at them, it'll probably catch them off-guard. If you have a fair distance, you'll likely just get gunned down so run away and they will likely chase you. Run around a corner and wait patiently at the corner. When they come running around the corner you can catch them off-guard then... This works even better if you run in the direction of one of their spawn points, because they're likely to assume that point is your final destination and will be in the mind-set of catching up to you there. When you surprise them around the corner, you'll have an advantage.

You can also go for ambush kills. What I mean is (again I'll use Warlord) stay in the bottom of the TV station immediately to the left of the stairwell door (inside the stairwell). Most times people just charge through that door and right up the stairs when they're going for the flag. You can run up the stairs behind them and stab them before they realize it. Similarly, there are a ton of places inside the Palace at the north end of the map. I specifically remember 2 rooms located on the front of the palace that each give a nice view of the hallway leading back to the spawn points. Very rarely do people ever enter these rooms, let alone check them for enemies, so watch the halls from there.

None of this should be taken too literally though, just gather some general tactics from it because a UAV will kill that "meet them around the corner" tactic real quick. And you can only stab so many people from the same ambush in the TV station before they start to remember you're there...

I suppose the best thing you can do when ambushing is try and think about how you act when you're taking that particular flag, or chasing an enemy that you just spotted across the road, or whatever... and then hide in one of the places you don't bother to check...

Definately not, your stats will be deleted. I'm fairly sure that EA has a few filters on the stats that are submitted to weed out potential abuse. If there are 150+ total knife kills in a single round, it will look quite suspicious and will be caught. Weapon specific ranked servers are banned. You can go knifin' all you want on an unranked, but they won't let you pad your stats like that.

What the hell do you expect us to do? I don't want to waste time hopping around stupidly with my knife for you, I'm too busy. You just have to keep trying, I came close to expert again the other day. But, I'm happy with veteran for now.
best map for this to me is karkand, lots of buildings and you can sneak around the snipers on the ridge by the suburb. also you can always search out the commander cause hes usually looking at the capslock screen. i got 16 kills on karkand a few days ago. boy did i get bummed soooo close and all because there was a tank spawn killing.

Do you have a battle recorder video to see how easy it is ?

I got mine on Devil's Perch.  It is a close-quarters map and a night map, so many chances to sneak up on groups of people or snipers. Get to know the map, most of all.

i dont see whats so wrong about knife servers. ea says it's stat padding. you can probably make 200+ points in one round, but you can make 200+ points in a round on a 16 player 64 size map. so why isn't that the same? oh yeah, it's because its "easy" to get your knife badge on it. well, it's easy to get all expert badges on 16/64 maps seeing as they often last over an hour, but strangely that's allowed. if people want to have knife fights theres nothing wrong with that, and if i see people with their knife out i'll always return the favour by stickin my knife in them first, rather than shoot them like most noobs would.

That depends on the circumstances... it is true that Admins are not allowed to dictate what weapons can and cannot be used on their servers, this is a violation of Rules of Engagement...

But it doesn't say anywhere that players can't do it by mutual agreement.

I was on a server the other night when someone suggested that next round we just use knives and pistols, everyone agreed and we had a blast plugging each other with pee shooters and stabbing everyone.

The following round we went back to the normal way...
