I got it by running directly at people with no attempt to hide.

thats wat i did, i have liek 20 deaths but o well i got it

I did it like this:

I told my friend which server. Then he took his pistol and always shot at the enemy and I go in with the knife.. and so that is how I got basic and my veteran and expert I did by myself... No statpad.

Best I have ever got is 6.. In which, I got awarded the Purple Heart for the SECOND time lol ^__^ had like 30 deaths because even the snipers saw me a'comin'!

How'd you get yours? I mean, vet and ex. will be easy, as there is no IAR requirements..

edit// reason why I need this is because I don't want to become a Master Gunnery It's the only thing left that I don't have in basic.. also need it for Combat Infantry as I've done about 100 hours already..

I tried a few times to get this before i finally managed it, when i finally did get the badge i did it in the first 15 minutes of a round! Karkand 64 on 64 and If possible try to make sure you are on the better side of the two. Play as MEC and sprint straigth to the first gap in the fence the USMC guys run through, there should be a pile of pipes in the area, Hide behind that and wait. After a few minutes around 3 - 4 USMC guys will be there nade spamming. The reason you should wait and not hit them as they come through is that no-one really expects you to pop up there, they wont realise your enemy 9 time out of 10 and even if they do it's hard to hit someone so close without getting tk's!

This works and you dont have to suffer the humiliation of knowing you spawn raped to get it.

Good luck

Thank you DSRTurtle,

I was getting pretty desperate but decided against the "spawnkilling / knife-pistol server-method" because it felt really cheap.

On my 'award-winning run' I eventually managed to get a 1.0 KDR (23 kills / 23 deaths) and assisted in 4 flag-captures so I also helped my team without really hurting my stats. Unfortunately we lost the round 5-0.

Thanks for the karma!

Happy hunting,

Well, going to go fight the perils and try again today. I'm already up to gunnery and earning around 700+ a day now, so..

Sorry for the double post, but meh..

I managed to get 6/7 kills AGAIN in a round ;( The seventh guy was going to be the enemy commander - I could see him on the UAV but didn't get there in time ;(

Your getting there.  You will get it soon.  Be patient with it.  You have to work at it, but don't let it distract from everything else.

I won't go to a K&P server but thanks for all the helpful advice. More karma given!

I've posted a strategy before, It got me my knife badges.

Kits do not matter here! I say personal preference.

Play what ever map you want, no matter how many players are there. Try to be stealthy. When you approach an enemy, try to do so slowly. Then observe him. If you think you have at least five seconds to attack without retalliation, pull out the knife and go-a-stabbin! If not, however, just shoot him and wait for another oppurtunity. I speak with experience, as noted above. Trust me, if done effectivley, it WILL work.

Try it kyle, you'll get the badge. Best of luck.

Ok, knife badge can be incredibly hard to get at basic but fighting in Karkand definitely is the way to go. Especially big rounds. Probably the best time to go for it is at the beginning of the round when the MEC is defending the hotel like mad. The commander will usually UAV the place and if he doesn't just request one and pray:P.

Before you make your mad dash and go out in a blaze of glory, check for claymores. I hope you know what to do when you see those... So, lets suppose you have a UAV in the air but they probably do too so what you want to do is go as an Assault and chuck a Flashbang or Gas grenade where the enemy is hiding and rush in after it goes off, knifing any fools standing around. If someone notices you, either sprint after him and attempt to knife him, run away, dolphin dive and knife his legs or reciprocate and reply  with your own rifle.

My other personal tactic is to sneak up on snipers who camp the rooftops and didn't claymore the area, go prone and insert the knife into their backsides, with ensuing laughter as his corpse falls off the roof.

Hope this helps... let me know about it

Press 1, aimwith mouse, and click.
Repeat until dead.

haha hey leetkyle, just wondering how you got so much parachute time.

Ok since im too tired and have a life, i didnt read any other posts on this topic other than this one. so basically its very easy to get basic, vertern, expert knife. The easiest way is to go to a pistol and knife or knife only server. (holy fuck the voice that says "member joined" on team speak just scared the fucking shit out of me, whoeee) ok well when you get in one of those servers, just go around and knifin people. and thats about it.
