Battlefield 2 Expert Pistol 'how I did it' ( a Simonsays guide )

Some of my general rules that I went by and requirements to set the stage in my favor. My requirements were a server running a 64 person map with only 32 slots and way less than 32 people in and the map preference would be one with close quarter combat situations such as Karkand, Iron Gator or Warlord. For this I chose WTF (a clan server) because they had four players. I knew they would shortly go ranked and it would be a very long first round of Warlord.

1:I will not use any weapon except pistol.
2:Focus on defense and then flag capture.
3:Ideal spots to be would be palace defense/attack

The reason I chose Special Operations character was the silencer on the pistol and the Zip Line. I also wanted the C4 so I could blow assets and attack vehicles such as tanks if I absolutely had to.

With the zip line, you can travel from TV Station to calling tower to roof of Mosque to ramp runway beside palace wall, take ladder to roof and zip line to side balconey of 2nd floor palace. Likewise in the other diretion you can zip to roof across main street and cover plaza, and then Roof of building over insurgent hideout and then to fire escape across alleyway to roof of that building and zip to roof next to palace security. So without a vehicle, a zip line has a GREAT transportation method on this map if you control TV station.

With that in mind, you may find an I/O server and a server that has FF on full so that clays and mines are dangerous for both sides to use.

Instead of hitting players head on, try to back door as many of them as you can. Lay hidden in a high traffic area and wait for one to run past, right click to get the pistol 'iron sighted' and let the rounds rip. You should see the flaring sites to know you are hitting the guy. The silencer will not give him an audio alarm of what is going on so with those few seconds, you can kill him. Then? Wait for 10 seconds for a medic. If no medic, get the hell out of there to your next spot or flag.

And that was about it. I joined a squad that I knew would be pro-active to be in the action and with that, I knew I had a spawn point right into the thick of things if I died. I died a lot.

Best of luck with your attempts. Prepare yourself for many trys and don't let failure get you down. If you do not purposely try for this award, I believe it is one that you cannot just 'get'. Trying and focus are the keys to it for me.
