range though so he continues on his merry way probably completely
oblivious to your attack as he won’t hear or feel the hit that you
saw. Try again. the bigger the disparity, the larger the difference
of where he really is. When stationary, this isn't important, but on
moving targets, it is. Remember that the first attack may not kill
when you are attacking a moving target. Plan for the miss and the
continuation of the chase and follow-through attack.

- 5) What is the best kit to use -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
For every player and for every map, this will be a different answer.
Use your kit and the map surroundings to your advantage. If there is
plenty of foliage cover, be a Sniper with the ghillie suit and use the
cover to sneak up and kill your targets. If there is no cover and you
are taking fire at odd times, use the Support or Assault kits as you
will have some body armor. In Special forces, remember that the Batman
or Spiderman are very kit oriented attacks and require the grapple or
zip lines.
In specific cases, you can also use mines from the Engineer kit to
protect you from Tanks and APC's or claymores from the Sniper kit to
prevent being someone else's Back door Susie.
After a while, you will find that no matter what kit you have chosen,
that the knife situations will present themselves, so don't hesitate
to experiment with whatever works best for you.

- 6) Knife Duel -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There comes a time when you try to knife someone and he runs out of
ammo while trying to shoot you. Also, he may realize you are trying
for a knife kill and offer you mano y mano combat. If he also pulls
out his knife then you have some choices to make as to whether or not
you just shoot him. I hope you choose to go through and fight it out
Thunderdome style. Bob, weave and jump. Feign forward, backward and
thrust. Of all my knife kills, I have been offered honorable combat
once or twice so far. I remember those situations to this day where
as I normally don't remember many specific instance in a days worth of
BF2 gaming.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
- 7) Knife Against Gun -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Up close, the knife vs gun debate is a hot issue. My own personal
feelings are that I've missed too many people up close with the gun
because the person didn't sit still and let me kill them and I wasn't
able to hit them more than once or twice before they shot me.
Personally, I would prefer to dance with them and let them take pot
shots at me while I move in for the blade kill. This gives them an
adrenaline rush that will work in your favor. I have seen people time
and time again overreact because they are being attacked by someone
with a knife. This may give you the needed time to finish your
opponent. Any time a close quarter combat situation presents itself,
ask yourself if it should be gun or knife and be prepared to pull the
blade at a moments notice. If your opponent is a sniper and holding
his rifle, use the blade.
Medium range, unless the target is not looking at you or if he is
otherwise engaged in another target, you need to think about your gun
or a feign. I often run in the opposite direction or half way around
an object that is between me and the target which will obstruct his
view and then double back. Usually the target will go to face you and
you can attempt the Back door Susie. Medium range is very dependent
on the situation and surroundings. Contemplate the gun as a backup
plan.
Distance, forget it. See if there is a way to close with the target
discretely. The farther away a target is, the better a time it is
to hunt for someone else.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
- 8) Maps -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Every map is a knife map. My own favorites are the ones that promote
close quarters combat. For instance in Special Forces, the Iron Gator
when one side has the mess hall and the other side has the forward
hanger bay, the battle between those two points are fast as you contact
the enemy within three seconds of spawn if you run to the other p
osition. Also, between those two points are four different choices of
travel. There is always a possibility to back door someone there. The
other strong Special Forces map for me is Warlord. When one side has
the third floor of the palace and the other side has the second floor,
there are multiple choices for paths between the two points. Many
opportunities for fast and multiple knife kills come up here. Make
sure your team is not nade spamming before you run forward to do your
deed. Also, if you have killed two or three already in a tight area,
remember the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.
For Vanilla BF2 maps, I've done a lot of good work on Strike At Karkand.
The Hotel has a lot of alley ways that allow for CQB. I have also had
a lot of luck and actually got my own Basic Knife on Songhua Stalemate
as a sniper. The two sides on that map (Chinese and US) appear to use
the same character for sniper. This gives you a moment delay as when
you approach someone and are not shooting, they assume you may be on
their side and delay for that important moment. Sharqi Peninsula at
the construction site is also a great fast one to get a couple of blade
kills in if the enemy has the flag point there. Please do not camp the
spawn area and not attempt a flag capture. This is just flat out
camping and not really what the game is all about. Some servers even
have strong rules against such behavior. There are also so many knife
kills out there that this practice is unnecessary.

- 9) Knife/Pistol servers -
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Unranked servers I don't have an issue with. Ranked servers are against
the Rules of Engagement set up by Electronic Arts. Play on them and
possibly have your stats wiped if you are caught. If you are going to
listen to anyone regarding this route, then take my advice here: The
awards are not real and are worth nothing to other people. Go this route
and they are worth nothing to you as well.

Don't be saddened. Just because you get that "I wanna stab the fat man"
look in your eye, doesn't mean I'll knife you. Often times I will just
fill you full of lead. So do yourself a favor, don't let me know you
are coming for me till after the blade slips between 5th and 6th ribs
from behind me.
