I often use google searches, forums and movie links to learn new or
alternative tactics in Battlefield2. Many times I have come across
the requests for help with the knife badge but I have never found a
complete knife guide. I thought that by writing this guide, it would
allow me to learn more about other player’s tactics when they write
in to either dispute my methods or report an obvious exclusion.
I remember when I set off one weekend to get my basic knife badge
and managed to get it in my first attempt by use of stealth.
During the game, my adrenaline was running high and I was excited
and on edge the entire round. Once I completed my goal and the round,
I wanted to relax and not go through that intense game again for a
bit. I focused on some other weapons and didn't get back to the
knife for a couple of weeks. Once I got back to the knife and
focused on more kills for my veterans and expert badges I found that
I was almost the only one I would see consistently knifing a person
or three each round. The excitement is still there, but I'm used to
it now and it doesn't wear me out by keeping me on the edge of my
seat. There are probably thousands of people that can do better with
the knife than I, but since they haven't written a guide, you are
stuck with me.
I am glad to take this opportunity to give something back to the BF2
community that has provided me with so much fun over the past few
months. I dedicate this guide to the people out there who help
others, be it by guides or forum posts. Also, to all the people who
have had to tolerate my battle cry on team speak of "Taste my blade!"

As previously stated, there are probably thousands of people that
can do better with the knife than I. Also, I may not remember
everything I know or have learned. If you have an idea and email
it to me, I will review it and consider adding it to the guide
(with proper credit to you). If you have questions of knife
situations, I will try to answer them individually. If they keep
coming up, I will add them to the guide.

- 1) Introduction -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This guide is for the Battlefield 2 player that wants to learn to
use the knife effectively. We all know that the pointy end goes
in the enemy, but in this guide you will be shown how to shop for
targets of opportunity and to become lethal in close quarters
situations. The tips in this guide can be used to help you achieve
the Basic Knife Badge as well as the Veteran and Expert Badges, but
for some of you, this guide will change a small part of the focus
of your play. You will be a knife player. Some would say this is
one of the extremely hated player types, as what you will learn to
do take skill, daring and stealth. Being knifed is one of the more
shameful things that can happen to a player in game ranking second
only to being paddled by a medic.

- 2) Your Knife Controls -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It is no mistake that your knife control is default tied to the 1
key. Think about it. The weapon kills in one hit, body armor or
not. The weapon needs no reloading and is instantly ready. Every
single kit comes with the knife. The 1 key is fitting but if you
want to really be ready for all situations, get a mouse with a few
extra buttons on it and assign one of them to be the alternate
weapon key for the knife. My own Mx518 gaming mouse from Logitech
is set up to pull the knife, pistol, gas mask and also changes my
mouse sensitivity so I can alter the mouse when I'm in a tank (very
sensitive) or if I'm the gunner in a chopper (very slow and steady).
The quick pull has allowed me to survive many meeting when I run
out of ammo, or just allowed me to alter my plans when a knife
opportunity presents itself.

- 3) Knife Use Situations -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What are great knife situations? Any situation you have a high
chance of killing your opponent without him even realizing you are
there.
Your fly is open: There are many times you will see the oblivious
solo enemy perhaps wrench repairing a tank, or command asset, or
even a singular enemy using the sparrow missile emplacements
looking for a helicopter. You can shoot these people, and if we
are talking about a distance that will take you 10 or 15 seconds
to run, but this is where your knife is crying for blood. They
are focused on a task and are deserving of a blade shaped reality
check.
I'm late, I'm late: There is the enemy player that runs past your
cover and continues on, unaware of you. A bullet may get you two
points, but a knife kill gets you the same points and a sense of
accomplishment. They make it easy on you and most of the time run
in a straight line and then stop and lie down to fire at some
target off in the distance.
The wolf in sheep’s clothing: If you see several enemy bodies
and you hear one cry "Medic" (I have my English only speak
enabled) then lie down IN the bodies, letting them mask your
presence. When the medic comes, wait for the revive, and then
kill them both. Be careful not to get paddled.
Back door Susie: Ever come around a corner to find two or more
enemy engaged in a firefight facing away from you? Nothing is
more impressive than sticking two or three people in under three
seconds in front of witnesses.
I'm Batman (BF2 Special Forces): Snipers love to go up ladders
or stairways and lay claymores at the entrance to their lair.
Use the grapple of the AntiTank or Assault and let them figure
out how you got up and snuck in behind them and stuck them.
I'm Spiderman (BF2 Special Forces): Much like the Batman in
reverse. You see enemy below you and you use your zip line to
swoop in behind them and put yourself in position for the Back
door Susie.
Avon Calling: I have had a couple of situations where I spawn
into a point and notice two or more enemy on the flag. You may
already spawn on top of them and if you move fast enough, they
will hesitate to shoot at you if you move in-between them.
Twice in my life, I have repelled a three person flag attack with
the knife. Without having to reload, nor hit more than once, it
was the only way other than a grenade that I could have done it.
The added advantage that they are probably sitting still and prone
on the flag helps.
Cerebro: With any map, there will be UAV times. Use the UAV
runs as they occur to map out where your potential targets are.
Think like them too. If you see two targets moving to a friendly
flag, that may be where you want to spawn next if you happen to
die soon. If you see a stationary blip in a spot you know to be a
great sniper nest, you may have a setup for a Back door Susie.
Watch the UAV runs and keep a situational awareness of where
these little red dots are, where they are going or if they are planted.
Don't be afraid to request UAV. You need to be a Squad Leader to
do that and use your default T key to get the SL commo rose.
You are my density: If you are looking for medals solder, you want
to go to areas of dense enemy activity and tight combat quarters.
You do not want to be in the middle of it, but preferrably coming up
from behind. You may want to hitch a ride with a chopper heading
to a spot but going over enemy territory, or possibly take a boat or
fast attack vehicle the long way around to approach from behind.
You may think about being a Special Operations and blowing up the
enemy UAV specifically so you can be as undetected as possible.
If you are hunting for awards then the situation and a really good day
are all you need. Don't go to low traffic areas and wait for the action
to come to you. You will burn too much time and lose your chance of
the kills in a round.

- 4) Knife Miss - Issues -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Some people tell me that they try to knife someone and they see and
hear the hit, but the other person lives. I have to describe to
you what is happening here. Sometimes you will fight people and
disparity between your pings may be large. You at a ping of 122
and the opponent at a ping of 10. Your opponent will appear to be
three places in programming language. The first place is where he
see's himself and this gets reported to the server. The second
place is where you see him and this is from what the server reports
to you. The third place is somewhere in the middle, where the
server currently sees them to be. If on your computer, it appears
you hit him, you will see the hit and hear it as these graphics are
a function of your computer. As it turns out, he wasn't in knife
