This is sort of like a "how-to" guide, except it's a "how not to" guide. This video shows you exactly how to not get the "9,000 XP without dying" bounty:

Ragashingo and Blackt1g3r can verify the evidence.

Light pole. Beats. Everything!

It really does. It's so obvious in the video, but I was concentrating on those Dregs and completely didn't see it until I was dead.

Ragashingo and I were both confused. What could possibly have killed a level 28 guardian here? Ah, a rocket launcher at point blank. Makes so much sense now.

I thought he'd managed som sort of physics fail... falling from 1/10th the height necessary to kill himself. I very much enjoyed how he checked the "don't die" bounty before immediately dying.

I'm sorry to say it, but that was hilarious. It's like you decided to fail it as soon as you saw how close you were.

Also, you had Nova Bomb charged. The heck were you doing with a Rocket Launcher, silly Warlock?

The light poles in battlefield 3 are notorious for doing the same to unwary jets. I bet they were made in the same factory.

Light pole. Beats. Everything!

Or beams, or poles, or ceilings, or @#$%ing flags.
