I don't see why Engineer should be an exception? If used properly, the engy's weapons are deadly enough to grant you a medal. If you ignore the MEC-engineer and that horrible shotgun. Pump-action is cooler than it seems; point, blam, +1 kill. Just aim above the legs and someone will die quickly .

Voted "NO". But hey, you might ask why there are no vehicle badges and such... And people are allowed to play as they see fit. C'est la vie.

I think that it is up to you to get your own badges.

Why wouldnt you want to play as engy. I love the jackhammer. "Rat tatat goes the sound of my gat!!"

Get them anyway you want. It's just when you get them without using a vehicle you feel alot more proud.

I got all of my expert badges from the chopper.  40 kills on one round is semi challenging without using a vehicle.

I like the challenge of doing things the hard way... getting them on foot is funner and gives you something to "work" for.. anyone and i do mean anyone can get any badge by just switching kits and using armor or flying.. But are they not infantry badges? Get them any way you see fit.. I will get mine on foot

I don't have any Expert kit badges, but when I do I will have to use vehicles; I am not good enough to kill 40 people IAR with only guns.

I agree that anyone can get them as they see fit...no problems there. I am just trying to get mine on foot because they are harder and I have a long ways to go!

The reason I picked Engineer as OK is because it is a good vehicle class and you will get badges automatically...erm easier in vehicles. So you can't awoid using vehicles for badges if you want to use vehicles. So I'm trying to limit it to Engy. Does that make sense? I hope so lol

Bottom line just have fun, I'm just curious in how you guys go after badges.

Same boat here. I'm not near good enough yet, I'm still working on Vet and even some basics. But I'm going to try and stay on foot.

i would rather get my kit badges on foot, but thats just my opinion....

It's a personal issue. If you're okay with getting Badges in vaichles, that's awesome. I got my Vet Sniper's Badge in an APC and I regretted it, (I got my Vet Sniper Specialist badge a few hours later on Warlord without a veichle though, which slightly redeemed myself.)
So yeah, I wouldn't, but I don't see anything wrong with other people using veichles to get IAR kill requirements.

I got a few of my veteran badges in vehicles... namely Spec Ops and Support. Engy and AT and Assault I got on foot... sniper was a combo of on foot and arty.

Each to their own.  I prefer going the hard way.  The way I play, that may be a while before I get my vets.  Your dime your time.  The only bad part of people choosing there own way is when you are trying to compare yourself to others.  I can't compare my awards to my brothers because he doesn't care how he gets them.  Not that I have to compare to know who is better!

Do i think it's ok? No

Do people do it all the time? Yes

How do i get my INFANTRY badges? On foot... as an INFANTRY soldier, more rewarding, and it shows more skill

PS- i got my Engineer badges in a tank b/c i only use the engineer when i get in one....

It's fair getting it any kind of way.  All engineers do is repair vehicles, but if you're good enough not to rely on repairing then i say get it anyway possible.  Power to whoever gets your experts on foot on a 64 player server.  If you got your medal on a 16 player server with 1 million tickets to start off with...come on, that's just lame.  But you gotta hate the n00b that really sucks with armor that dies after 1 kill or sooner.

I find I often get veterans by accident. I got vet engineer specialist commanding, which was annoying. And I got vet assault in the mig on Cleansweep. I certainly enjoy getting them more when I just play "as normal" (not exclusively on foot, if the enemy tank is sitting there empty, you HAVE to get in).

But I'm not gonna go kill myself because I was doing what I had to do to help my team win and I accidentally picked up a veteran badge

Your holier-than-thou infantry shit doesn't fly on this game. Vehicles are put in this game for a reason. If you want to be Mr. Infantry go play Counter-Strike.
