Introduction---
Well...I've searched far and wide for a guide going in depth on the subject of suicide cars, or what are so commonly called: "Jihad Jeeps". I have yet to find a good one. So I set out to do a bit of research in preperation for a guide. I had originally planned to make this for BF2S.com but since it's in the early stages, I figured I would test it out on here first to get some feedback and patch up any mistakes i make before posting it there. So feel free to criticize, Criticize, and yeah...criticize. Lord knows I'll need it. So, without further ado...here's my step-by-step guide to the "jihad Jeep"
-------------------------------------------------------
My Credentials---
Well...I'm new to Battlefield 2, the forum, and basicly everything. I am a former player of Medal of Honor (PC) which I'd like to say I was quite good at. (I played at LSE for some time) But alas...I was looking for a bigger challenge and BF2 was my calling. Sadly I don't play much at all, and am only a mere corporal with a couple of unlocks. However, I have had much experience thus far with suicide vehicals and I'm hoping to perfect the trade through hard work and the help of others: I.E.: This guide!
-------------------------------------------------------
Part I---What is a "Jihad Jeep"?
Numerous times, I have heard this term. It seems that "Jihad Jeep" is simply put, BF2 slang for a suicide vehical, or basicly a vehicle loaded up with C4 and ready to blow. I've seen it done countless times by Spec-ops players, both those that are new, and some veterans. It seems the more experience we get with this concept of the game, the more unsuccessful of a strategy it seems. My goal is to reinvent this aspect of the game and make players more aware of it's usefulness.
-------------------------------------------------------
Part II---Let's do this thing!
Well...with that crap aside, let's get to the real point of my guide. I know what you want to do. You sinful...sinful...spec-ops player. If your like me, you play spec-ops so you can blow stuff up. It's just fun. The Jihad jeep is a way to do this quickly and effectively. I'm going to try to teach you how to do this thing right. It's not easy, and it takes patience and concentration. So listen up and pay attention! The first thing you need to do is understand the rules of the jihad jeep.
RULE 1---You MUST play Spec-ops to make one!!! DUH!
RULE 2---You want to use something that will blow up EASILLY. That does not mean a tank! The best thing to use is a dune buggy. It's small, fast, weak, and it explodes! It fits all our requirements. However, if you need to use a Jeep, it's cool. Just not quite as good...
RULE 3---Do it on a 64 person map. more people means more targets. More targets means more BOOM!!!!
RULE 4---For christ sakes...don't use a chopper. I know what your thinking. "hey I can fly it into the enemy base, aim it downward torward a bunch of guys and BOOM! They die and I'm in the enemy base! Ok...I understand that maybe...10% of the time this will work. But the other 90% it's simply a waste of resources. Your taking a chopper for a 5 minute ride when someone else could be using it to kick the enemy's tail. The only situation I can think of where this would be ok is if no one on your team is using the transport chopper. Then I would probably do it. But with a 32 man team...that's probably not going to happen.
RULE 5---No gay stuff... I.E. run it into a fire fight with your own men, run into a friendly vehicle, or anything else that will cost points. Jihad Jeeps kill people...lots of people. This includes you 90% of the time.
RULE 6---The Jihad Jeep is for cool people, like the Fonze. No questions asked. If you can't stick up your thumbs and say "ayyyy" after every succesful explosion then you shouldn't be doing this. After all...the sole goal of this thing is to make your enemy mad as hell that their armored tank just got blown up by A FREAKIN DUNE BUGGY!!! Therefore...the ******* factor comes into play too.

part III---The Actual guide Part
------
Pick your poison
So, you've spawned and your ready to make your very own jihad jeep! First, we need to find a ride. Preferably get a dune buggy. If that's not available...go for a jeep. If that's not available...ur screwed.
Plan The Attack!
So let's say you got your dune buggy/Jeep. it's time to prepare your killing machine. This is the part where you need to consider some stuff. What is your target? Look at the map and see where a big BOOM is needed. how about that tank pressing in on your base? Or maybe theres a squad that needs to be evened out a bit. hey...even running it into the enemy base and waiting for a guy to hop in and drive off only to be blown to hell is cool too. But in any case, it's your responsibility to make the call here. Just look at that map and figure out what needs to be done.
PIMP MY RIDE...
Alright! You got your target! Let's customize this rig to be a killing machine perfect for the job. Here's the various targets and how to make ready your Jeep of Jihad wrath!
TANK---The tank is a pretty simple target. It's slow...and if you got a dune buggy then your faster. The plan is simple. Strap all your C4 to the front and get ready to roll. BUT WAIT! You aren't ready to ram the beast just yet. It's imperative you get that vehicle health down so when you do come in contact, the blast will be more than enough to drop that sucker. Basicly, just ram your Jihad jeep into a couple walls and it should be smokin just enough to blow whenever you come up on ole nessie. From there, you simply need to drive like a mad dog (but be careful not to hit anything an kill yourself) to the tank. My best advice is come up behind them and they won'y see it coming. If you know ahead of time that a frontal confrontation is going to happen, then save your armor...
APC---Same as tank
That squad that "stays together"---Ok...there's a lot of ways to do this. I'll start with the head on version. Strap C4 all over your Jihad Jeep. drive straight into range of the squad, and switch to your side seat. Then hit the magic button and the bodies fly. Praise be to allah that you defended the holy land.
The Booby trapped jeep---Let's say you set out to find your target but were too late? Well...all is not lost. Your next choice is the Booby trapped jeep. Drive your ride into the enemy base and leave her there. Chances are a couple of your Bogie friends will see the free ride and hop on in. That's when you take back what they stole...JIHAD STYLE!!!
Pansy style---So you don't want to die you say? it would be nice to have a jihad where you survive? Well firstly, your an unfaithful fool and that crap is for pansies...but secondly that's a good idea. If you see an opurtunity to drive your ride up to a target and run away before hitting the trigger...then by all means!

Um...ok so there ya go. More to come...maybe. FEEDBACK PLEASE!
