I had this kid, who just wouldn't shut up. He was like 8 or 9 and wanted people to 'talk to him'. Then he would talk about going to a birthday party and when he TK'd you, he said, "Sorry, I was on the other team"... like WTH? I've heard there's even a kid on one the Aussie servers that keeps singing over VOIP.

I don't think so - I say tough luck to those who have surpassed 200,000+ and don't have the updated ranks. Colonel's all you're ever gonna be.timeinfinite wrote:

You need to have these badges WHEN you hit the requirements. Just like First Seargeant. No Knife or Pistol badge, and + 20,000? Too bad. We've seen it before. So the next person who hits 180,000 with ALL those requirements, good on them!
Well, i'm currently First Sergeant, still at 32k, will let you know if I hit Sergeant Major anytime soon. Guessing it may be 35k now? There's a very large gap between 1st Sergeant and Sergeant Major if there are no changes.
Guys,
Under the mask of releasing the v1.2 patch, EA have made a note that Euro Force will be single player enabled, 16 and 32 multiplayers only.
Source:
http://www.battlefield2.nl/docs/changes-1-2patch.jpg
(which they claim EA gave them permission to post).
Does this make you reconsider purchasing Euro Force? Do you think this is due to 'performance issues' a la maps like 'Iron Gator' from Special Forces?
Personally, this is appalling news. 64 players is what makes it fun. What do you think of it?

Maybe you missed the post prior to yours, but he's actually been reset. EA thinks he did something contrary to their terms of fair play, whether this means you're a cheater or not - is an unanswered question.xstax981 wrote:
Huh.... is there something wrong with his profile? He's a second lieutenant (at least on bf2s) but hes only played for about 2 hours.
There are accounts that have been banned - these are clearly because they are cheated.
To answer your question, BF2S does not seem to handle 'reset' accounts well, as the database does not know how to 'remove' awards and there may be obscure results with ranks. Check it on other rank sites - EA may have a new policy where they just reset your points as penalty, rather than demoting you completely - we never get told anyway.

I also did my first intentional TK, it was the voices calling me!!!
I had 6 kills with the knife, going for Vet Knife, we lost all our spawns, and it was only 2 tickets left.
I remember I had watched this video (Expert Knife Badge) and it showed him killing a friendly and counting to his 18, so the voices in my head said DO IT! 2 TICKETS!
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid … tlefield+2
So I ran up to my Squad leader and knifed him...
What did I get? =>
- No Vet Knife badge
- Instant TK Punish!
So the video is lying!!! Don't listen to the voices!

Very true. I can't fathom a IAR requirement for a service ribbon though. I guess this is where people can help, by identifying their combat and team score from the game they noticed they received it.NM156 wrote:
Sure he has a DB full of data. But if there is an IAR requirement, he won't find it there.
It's very possible this is a futile exercise, as the requirements, like the MEC and Chinese ribbon, may completely change as per the next patch just around the corner. I recall nearly everyone were just 'given' the 2 ribbons...
There's a billion threads with people *thinking* why it is, but NONE of them are correct.
Answer is no one really knows.
This guy should have the MEC SF ribbon if the above is right. He doesn't.

Chuy has the full database set of info, he can easily run a SQL query to get the lowest common denominator for us to determine. He hasn't done this yet. Surely there are enough people with the badge now to get this info right?
If Chuy doesn't want to do it, Chuy can give me the raw dump and i'll do it, I love sifting through data.

Just a correction:

NASTIE_BUTLER
PID Banned/Deleted:

So obviously the later did something far worse.

Up in the 'Announcements' the Stats feed is still down. Check other stats sites - it's confirmed they're history. You won't see them in the Top 10 for a while, if they really are as good as they say they are.clncmmndr wrote:
If you say NASTIE's stats are wiped and other people's, then why do their stats still say over 260,000 points??
Hey, have you got some tips on Shock Paddle kills - I have 0! I would like just one... do you hit them on the ground or where do you point if they are standing up?
Huh? How does this work? What happens if I say (obviously i'm not), hey, i'm {TA} Firestorm or Blazing.uk - I would like my stats reset! Are there procedures to confirm you are who you say you are? I doubt the interface at support.ea.com can do any verification!IndianScout wrote:

(edit) reading answer below - Oh okay - My bad
Post VeNg3nCe^ removal, I noted there were 41 Second Lieutenants.
After the latest round of culls, there are now 37 Second Lieutenants.
Of the 4 removed in the 5th Feb round - 3 of them were in the top 10:
<Wkl>Anubis
NASTIE_BUTLER
Perseverance
Thus, In the past 48 hours, 4 of the Top 10 have been removed.

Heh, he is a crazy Japanese player - playing on Australian Karkand servers. He's no padder if you watch him play - but from what i've seen and everyone else's description of him - he's the epitome of Patch 1 to 1.12's failings. The person, if you could call the player that, bounces up and down, flat, lying on the ground, dancing around like dolphins, hops, skips, jumps 10 meters and gives out C4 presents to unsuspecting foes.mjw wrote:
So what do you think, very clever stat padder covering his tracks very well, or a normal player that is exceptionally good with explosives??
Mind you, he is very, very good at it. You just want to join the server to watch - people are just... stunned... :p
With a playtime of 4h 18mins a day, I would conclude, he's trying to rush up to Number 1 before the patch negates his 'skills'. Nothing wrong there... it's not illegal, but annoying... EA's fault.
(edit) just to qualify - most, if not all, of the Top ranked players have exploited some sort of fault in the game which EA may now have addressed - whether it be the Blackhawk capping sprees or whatever; this one is not very different from those.
It's in a round - I know stupid, but just do it. You'll get it.
OMG,
I've been trying to get both the zipline and grappling hook badges and didn't know you can pick them up!
I've been calling supplies and 95% of the time, I wouldn't get resupplied - strangely, I have been resupplied a Zipline once by a box, but not always! I was just going to ask if it was a bug in the game that I wasn't getting resupplied all the time.
Thanks for the tip!

No,
That doesn't work. The best you can do is make one active, the other inactive (by encrypting the CD Key to one or the other account). There is NO way you can get it to work on BOTH accounts, even though you don't play both at the same time. It would seem EA are trying to make us buy a copy of the game for each account we use because they want more revenue.
I am still waiting for EA to fix this. Poor quality standards, incompetent testers. EA and DICE, get your act together.

Just a question on obtaining this badge, do you need to be the pilot of the aircraft to get this badge? That is, if you jump in an 2 seater F-15 or so and you are not the pilot; do you get the badge, if you sit in it for the 10min requirement?
Some (like 2% of other characters) I see run around with no gun, just arms 45 degrees straight out, looking like zombies.
I have seen other models fire guns (with no gun graphics in their hand).
And that CD Key problem with 2 Windows Account - only 1 account work, the other doesn't as the Key is encrypted to one account. I think buying another game for the same PC is ridiculous - EA/DICE should fix this as priority.

Just played my 3rd time as Commander, can verify that ubar is correct as it is...
I actually got Vet Engineer Badge, then seconds later, as I scored the repair point, got the Basic Command Badge at 40 points. The game continued and on 50 points + a couple of seconds, got the Staff Officer ribbon.

This sucks - EA if you are reading PLEASE FIX this bug.
EA's totally stuffed it... they need a patch to fix it.
If it's installed on 1 user account (admin), you can't use it on the other account. It returns: 'Your CD Key is invalid". One user can play the game, the other cannot. This did not happen before the botched v1.03 patch.
There is a fix, but this is ridiculous if I want to play on my Windows account and my bro wants to play on his. I guess he can log in to my account if he really wants to play, but this is stupid.

AFTER RELEASING a patch for Battlefield 2 earlier today, EA is now likely having a nice time cataloguing problems people seem to have with it.
Thanks to a couple of responses from readers this morning we've found a distinct problem with the latest patch for Battlefield 2. It looks like the 1.03 patch encrypts the CD-key value in the windows registry. Most likely this is done to avoid the theft of CD-keys by malicious software while you're playing online. It's a clever move.
Unfortunately, it looks like this encryption of the CD-key is specific to the Windows User Account that was used to install the patch. If any other Windows user attempts to play the game on the same machine they are given a message saying the key is invalid.

The new requirement appears to be just 20 hours playing for the MEC (Middle East)... or China (Far East).
I have only 120 hours, and there are others with much less - even 40 hours. I only have the MEC one with 20:03 - the China one, i am expecting to get in a few more hours, as it's at 18:20
Note, I got the MEC one on 20 hours with the 1.02 patch yesterday.

On Wake Island, the Tank lag is really bad - my ping was 25 it was stuttering intermittently. I have not seen it personally, but people are still claiming the blue/red enemy bug is still not fixed.
I think I win the BF2 n00b award... having been a convert from CS from the early days, my mental association was the all CTs are Blue and all T's are red... and took that into BF2. First time I ever played China, you can guess what happened - it was actually really funny in hindsight - a nightmare for me.
I spawned at the airfield and a Blue guy was taking the chopper. I thought to myself (since I knew I was playing China), wow can't let him (the CT) get away, i'd better hide in the grass. He flew his chopper next to me (presumably to pick me up as his gunner), and me thinking he was still the enemy (and I was so cool and still concealed) quickly smacked on some C4 and blew him to bits. You won't believe the flack I got from the team, I was in a squad that deserted me - and I subject to so many (failed) kick votes. I think a game op actually joined my team and followed me around the rest of the round to make sure I wasn't ruining the game, but I didn't and haven't made that mistake ever again! I couldn't even apologize, cos I was pressing the 'y' key.
