Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

The choke points between the US spawn points and the first flag on Karkand are ideal - particularly the two places where you the entry points in the metal fence. You can usually get 4-5 kills doing this. Oh yeah, and place the C4 on the wall so it's behind the guys coming through the hole. You can even place some a little further down from the opening so if you get 3-4 guys coming through at once, you can get them all.

Once those areas get overwhelmed, fall back to the next logical flag position, mine the hell out of it, and then leave the area. When the flag turns white, wait a second or two (this is critical to maximize your kills), then blow it - I got 8 guys at the suburbs doing this. The key is to watch the UAV and guess where the next flag will be contested. Sometimes you guess right and get a ton of kills, sometimes you don't and sit there for 10 minutes.

I found that this works the best. I tried the jihad jeep strategy and it was just too unpredictable for me.

Good luck.

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

Hi, thanks for replies.

Ok, erm what is c4 chucking? And i know the suicide strategy but how do u guys throw the c4 over a long distance and still manage to escape. As for FF servers are they still ranked?

Also, if u put 2 c4 on the floor, if u choose to detonate, both will go off right? u cant make 1 detonate while saving the other?

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

C4 chucking is running around with C4 out, seeing a group of enemy (better, but sometimes people throw it at one person...what a waste), running and throwing it, then instantly right click left click and get a bunch of kills. People hate it, but I do it, and it doesn't bother me when others do, just shoot them before they detonate. I got my Expert by chucking, booby trapping, and jihading, gotta change it up, one tactic usually leaves you short.

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

With the new patch do you think they'll lower the requirements for expert?

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

Doubt it, and they shouldn't if they do. Why lower requirements for an Expert badge? Defeats the purpose of being an Expert badge doesn't it?

[DeadlyMACD]

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

Yeah, it would. But Im wondering how difficult it will be since running and gunning with C4 is coming to an end.

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

When I got mine I only "chucked" it at a couple people, mostly it was blowing up armor, or boobytrapping alleys, it's very possible to get, and the patch is doing nothing about jihad jeeps.

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

Hi again,
suicide tactic is to put c4 on jeep front and ram into opponent right?

I tried Karland for 3 hours+ but closest i got was 9 killls. Once the 2 hot spots gone, very difficult to kill with c4. But yea, karland is the best to get badge i reckon. Will US or MEC be better?

but qn remains, if u throw 2 c4, u must kaboom both right? U cant say, explode 1 and then explode the other later?

Any more tips? I also cant seem to get engineer badge... Lackin explosive and engineer

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

Warlord is a good map to try.

See thread: http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52585

Still trying to get the expert. Got close on Warlord.

FF off servers are ranked. But you find that most maps on rotation are air maps. I believe this cos of pilot's not wanting Tks in their bomb runs. Sadly no city only servers with FF off [come on guys, give us a city map only server before the patch comes out]

I cant ever see me getting the expert without throw jumping abit.

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

Hi mate

Yes all c4 laid blows up at same time, so be careful if you laid some and gone off to do something else.
I put some on a tank while capping a flag just in case enemy got in it and i forgot about it til i blew up an apc a little while later and got 2 TKs cos teammates had got in previous tank. OOPS

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

If you are USMC grab a Humvee, pile the packs on it and drive down past the first block on your left and then turn into the street where the MEC are pouring out of the door on your left trying to set up ambush against oncoming USMC infantry.

BOOM 5 or more right there after you hop out and trigger the C4.

It gets more difficult from there. The closest I have gotten was 16 using a variety of methods.

At one point I had a humvee ready to be blown up in a pack of enemies but had a squad of 4 sitting in it. I aint so stupid as to get myself banned for all those Tk's so I left them there to die hoping they will all get killed so I can detonate the C4. Oh well.

A review of the requirements using UBAR shows the badge is not essential to advancement. I can tell you that I think DICE and EA will have to rethink that badge because it is going to get more difficult to fight against whole teams chunking and laying C4 closer to patch 1.2 day.

Re: Explosive Ordinance Help

I got mine on karkland by playing with lots of c4. At the end I had 16 kills. I had couple of tk's unfortunately. Up until then I was trying to get this badge on other maps for weeks unsuccessfully. The key thing is to play on maps with lots of people, lile 64 maps, preferbly city maps.
