UBAR says 40 points IAR.

I had 73 points commanding in Warlord but no badge.
I had 56 points commanding in Ghost Town and no badge.

Do I need to do this in BF2 and not SF or does DICE/EA just not like me anymore?

While I'm asking silly questions...
Isn't a revive considered a heal point? Tried to get my Basic Medical and had 7 or 8 revives in a game, no badge.

well 56/2=28
and 73/2=31.5

You need 40 points before the x2

Yes, 40 points before the 2x multiplier. So, any score that was doubled would be a round number so please explain the 73.

No, a revive does not count as a heal point. Only medic packs that people pick up count.

by round number, i'm assuming you meant even number.

in order to calculate score for commanders, BF uses an equation. the result isn't necessarily a rounded integer and therefore you may have decimals left over. therefore, when its multiplied, you may end up with an odd number.

yes, you need the 40 points before the 2x multiplier. no, revives do not count as heals.

You need 40 command points. If you look in your command window you will see a number at the top of the window which is the amount of command points you have. You need 40 of those before the round ends. These points do not include your kill points or other points you have received. It could have been you had your command points doubled and then added to the rest of the points you accumulated equalling 73.

hope that helped

So what everyone is saying is that the best round score on your stats page includes the 2x multiplier. Also, I had high score with my 73 which earned me a gold star. So the scoreboard
at the end of a round shows the 2x number.

Meanwhile I'm going to test my skill at throwing med packs on the ground.

Correct, you would need to have at least 80 points in a single round as Commander to get the badge, 73 just wont cut it..

if ure a good commander and u have a good team that works together... getting 100+ points on a 64 map with say 24 players should be not so hard ^^

Actually, i got 50 points as commander on Strike of Karkand (check my profile, it shows my best round = 100)
but I never got any award, because the round lasted less than the desired timelimit...SO no Basic command for me, and no Command ribbon either.

Make sure that it is a ranked server as well....

The scoreboard at the end of a game shows actual points without the 2x multipier. Same for BR here.

It's starting to sound like 80 is the magical number, not 40.

I always play on ranked servers and I just started playing commander. I really don't want to be commander but, 5 minutes into a game and a couple of request for someone to be commander, I'll take the job if no one else will. What's really funny is when no one will take the spot so I do. Then some idiot by the name of doughboy initiates a mutiny, twice. The next round we played without a commander because doughboy didn't want the job either.

I got mine today on Sharqi.
I played on a 64 server with just 10 people online. After the round there were 20 on both sides.
The round ended up with 58 commander points and Basic Command and Staff Officer Ribbon for me.
Later today I played again on a 64 map with 10 players. I won the round with 131 points (after 2x).
It's pretty easy to get commander points on a server with a minimum of players

as commander, you don't get any kill points or team points. the 73 comes from the formula (that no one except EA/DICE knows).

Its simly your avrage teamscore, however as players leave and come it adds them seperatly.

I tried to work it out and came very close once with this.

The average score per min of each player on your team that round X by length of round. It was pretty damn close too, within half a point or so.

I did something like that today to get my vert comande badge. Its kinda stats padding though

I read in another thread that as commander, whenever anyone on your team scores a point, you get a fraction of a point equal to (1/the number of players alive at that moment). So if there are 10 on your team, and 8 are alive when somebody scores a kill, you get 1/4 point.

Agreed. I was on a 64 map with around 20 players total. We won and I ended with a 224 score. Not bad for my first time commanding

High max players with low current players are the ideal maps for many of the badges. You'll have plenty of time to do what's needed as the tickets won't be dwindling down very fast. The end result usually means higher scores for several people.

Like Vic said, it's points scored by members of your team divided by people alive in your team at the moment the point was scored.
If you're lucky and the only teammember alive neutralizes and captures a flag and kills an enemy you get 6 points.

I dunno, that doesn't sound all that much worse than my 1.4Ghz Pentium M, 512mb RAM (just upgraded to 1gb) and NVidia GeForce FX 5650 128mb (yes, a laptop!)

I work well enough on 64 player maps. Upgrading the ram is crucial. I'd love to have a 7200rpm drive as well.

Soon.... I'm buying my new desktop this week or next
