An even better place is the mounted MG at the Gas Station or the MG in a watchtower near the Factoryspawnofthemist wrote:
copy/pasted from my other post on this exact topic
The EASIEST way to get this badge is to go as commander on a 64 player karkand server that is about half full..
1) Apply for commander..
2) if you dont get commander then mutiny that bastard! you're 10 times better than him (unless its me ) PLUS YOU'RE GOING FOR A BADGE!
3) go to the nearest mounted machinegun or TOW
TOW/HJ-8 locations on 64 player karkand are:
Factory beside the Scan satellite
Gatehouse near the portakabins
Suburbs at the house
at the Square.
and at the USMC left hand artillery on the minimap
Personally i'd choose the TOW at the factory (if you're MEC).. as theres ALWAYS some USEFUL people that DONT go for the hotel
If you're USMC it couldnt be easier.. just start back where the tanks and APC's spawn and theres a mounted machinegun right there
now.. this is the clever part..
when you artillery someone while in the MG or TOW.. it counts as a Ground Defense kill..
all you need to do here is artillery 20 people while in the MG/TOW and you'll get your shiny badge
another reason i said to use the factory TOW (if MEC or USMC defending once you've captured it) is that you'll have the opportunity to use the TOW in action and score some extra kills
much like the 4 person HMMWV i scored last night
Good luck on earning your Expert Ground Defense badge

I like the chinese airfield MGs on wake island. If the US only controls southern bases, they will keep running at you, and you will keep killing them. Thats how I did it.

youre the one who made a thread bitching about the commander method.OrangeHound wrote:
I got my veteran whoring the TOW at the Surveillance post on Sharqi... tanks, APC's and Vods are constantly rushing to that flag ... also got two of my kills by hitting a hovering chopper.
But, truly earning the Ground Defense badges/ribbon are difficult to get legitimately. You have to practice using TOWS, HJ-8s, and MMGs ... going up against APCs and Tanks also takes some timing (you don't want to enter the TOW/HJ-8 until you can get your shot off because most armor whores know GD locations, and when that alarm sounds they will immediatly put lead on your position). One other thing that makes this a difficult badge to get legitimately is that you have to be in just the right battle situation to have the opportunities. So it takes a lot of patience and thinking and luck.
When I finally got the Vet Ground Defense, it was one of the most satisfying drum rolls I've had in this game.
(I would guess that under 5% of BF2 players get the GD and AD badges legit ... the rest use the cheap commander-arty technique).
I didn't make a thread bitching about it ... I made a thread asking for stories of how people got the Expert Ground Defense without the commander method. But, unfortunately, I used the phrase "commander padding" and then all hell broke loose, the thread was hijacked, and I was invited to participate in a homosexual act.spawnofthemist wrote:

i got my vet on karkand and my expert on ghost town.. both without the commander assistance.
