basically there is a time IAR requirement for the ribbon. play a warlord round for like 30 minutes and you'll get it.

I`ll play a bit more and see if things work out, if not i`ll contact EA.
I`m bumping this tread. I`ve got about 52hrs as insurgent and have played Warlord and Night flight, but nothing is happening.
Any good ideas?

When you enter a game halfway through, find out that your team has no commander, apply, get the commander job and two minutes after some idiot starts a vote :evil:
The constant nade spamming on karkand IO is annoying, but if i find myself in a situation where it`s raining granades from the USMC team i switch to sniper or F2000 and try to change the balance that way. often i works. If USMC is concearned with only throwing granades they are still going to loose because the don`t capture any flags.
Lots of good canidates.

Pretty much sums up my wishes. Except for the no healing, no revives thing. Resupply, heal is an important part of the game, but there would be nice with some kind of time limit so that nade spamming can be avoided.DrunkFace wrote:
- No IO option
- No revives
- No instant healing
- No wake
- No FF off option
- Ability to enter every building
- Destructible environment
- Controllable Ships (aircraft carriers, missile cruisers etc)
- Player controlled Arty strikes (non of this commander just pick a spot and click crap)
- 1 hit kill sniper rifles
- Breathing for snipers
- Better warning system of you approaching friendly mines
- Larger flag capture zones
- Larger more versatile maps (ie, large maps which incorporate planes, choppers and boats but also have close quarter urban settings as well)
- Join Spec ops and Sniper classes and choose between a sniper rifle or scoped silence carbine.
- Create a more involved commander job with a command kit which has just 1 basic gun ie. machine pistol.
- Better concealed mines
Keep the commander element it`s what makes the game brilliant if you ask me.
Bigger mps 128 vs 128 or even bigger?
More balance on air maps. maps like kubra dam is hopless if your not in a jet. more AA.
Most important: better gun sounds.
A more flexible system with regards to user name.
A ranking system that is more obtainable without living and breathing BF 24/7. A more realistic (from the players point of view) ranking system would also decrease the interest for cheating.
The ability to customize weapons.
More unlocks
What the fuck is going on with the ranking list?

That's my goal too. Right now every kits is around 35hrs so i got a long way to go.
What i do is play the kit that best suits the situation and the kits that gets the least playtime ( assault and support ) i try to use when i`m commanding, that way there want be a huge gap between the kits so when the time comes for the expert badges i wan`t have to play one kit for 30 - 40 hours to catch up. The bad thing about that approach is that i want see more gold badges for a long time, the good thing is that they will come like pearls on a string when i finally get there.

Just got my points and goldstar.
Nothing here yet...
I have all the toys for air fights. Joystick, throttle and rudders, but waiting in line to be tk`ed for a jet or chopper gives me a sour taste.
I`d rather fight and help out my team than stand half the round waiting for a chopper or plane.
So naturally the ones that don`t help out their team and just spend hour waiting to get their precious chopper or plane will gradually become better. And for the assholes that don`t really play the game - except if they can fly becomes god with the helo or jet and us "normal" players don`t stand a chance.
What BF2 should have had is a ticket machine like the one at your local pharmacy. Then there would be no tk`ing or other crap.
I have 9 hours in chopper, i would guess 85% of that time is in the black hawk that no one really wants...

2000 points and a gold star? Oh well i guess they had to do something.
What i want to know is what happened to the 30+ hours i played will they show up in my total playing time?
I rather have the 30 something hours added to my stats than the 2000 points.

Iron Gator does not do it for me. CQB is cool, but the layout og the map is more cunfusing and frustrating than it is well designed.
I did not even join the game. It just showed up in the server page, clearly announcing it was a stats padding server.Airwolf wrote:
lol I'll get a screenie of the scores. Wait a mo

Can EA do something about this?

Kubra dam, play as mec.
I don`t get it. What is the fun in throwing grenades for hours and hours?
I`ll admit that my most played map still is Karkand, but the constant grenade throwing has totally ruined that map.

Why is this map all most forgotten?
I just played a round after some considerable time playing SF.
Kubra dam is THE map for engineers. That`s the map i`ll use to get my 1000 repair points for the meritorious service medal.

Go on anny IO server and it should be easy.

i always switch kits if i can benifit from the switch.
I have used a good portion of the guns featured in BF2 in real life and i must say they sound nothing like the sort.
i understand that we can`t have 160+ db sounds every time the trigger is pulled, but some realism would be nice.
For instance the G36C is loud as hell IRL or the .50 its fucking painful to your ears to fire one of those bad boys IRL.

Thanks for the tip i`ll be trying out PR in a very near future Still hoping that EA releases a new booster pack though...LuigiMcOwnage wrote:
.... if you want to fight in the middle east you could download Project Reality mod...
just look at this sexy piece of kit:
I love those booster packs. My skills as a tank driver increased leaps and bounds after i played a few hours on those maps. So few of the vanilla and SF maps have a great deal of armor (except from highway Tampa, but that`s just released)Drunk_Musketeer wrote:
I doubt.. I won't buy it anyway.. I wish I didn't buy EF and AF..
Seeing the amount of ideas pouring out of people in different BF2 forums I`m wondering if EA is considering another booster pack.
I`m of course one of the hope-full
What would be really cool and would fit right in with the BF2 scenario is the addition of an Israeli force. Those guys have tons of cool hardware that us geeks would love and we already have an opposing force - MEC. how cool would it be to fight in the Golan heights, around the Al Aqusa mosk or a map set in downtown Lebanon. i would plonk out my hard earned cash in an instant.

Ghost town would be a good bet. But kubra dam is also good. Thats where i got my veteran engi badge. I think i ended up with 17 repair points on first try.
jalalabad did it for me. Play as mec, and drive the car through the US base, you`ll get it on first or second try.
yep arty kills counts as kills. it`s a easy way to get AA, Ground and a lot of other badges. I can`t see how arty kills while commander could be construed as padding.
Nice guide, but not worth much as it is nearly ever any iron gator servers. Much less crowded ones
I got all my vanilla BF2 points last night, but today i played SF, no points yet
Still nothing from the outage though...

I just played SF for 3 hours, mainly on HBD, no stats...
Fuck! i played about 12 hours here a few nights ago and stats was working fine. So i played today in good faith, but the stats seem to be down again
I`m sick and tired of EA and their shit.
I just waisted 3 hours of my life - i want my money back!

I newer got my points from the outage, not from the two weeks after either. The last couple of days i have gotten most of my points so i`m fairly happy. i don`t think i will ever get my missing points and awards. i just hope EA has learned from this incident so i don`t have to waste any more time while playing.
I got mine yesterday, out of nowhere. It seems that EA used the stats down time to fix a few bugs too
Ea is getting creative about their replies:
Hello there,
Thanks for your reply.
We have gathered all the information that is needed to pass along to our engineering team. To receive the most recent information, sign up for the notification option at the bottom of this knowledge base article:
http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/ph … aqid=14853 .
In addition to this, here are a few things you can try while we are working on our end to correct this issue:
1) Be sure your system time and date is correct to your geography. You may need to check the time stored on your system CMOS as well as the time in the Microsoft Windows operating system. To adjust the time on your system CMOS please check with your system manufacturer, or owner's manual.
2) When playing online, make sure that you play on official ranked servers. When searching, ensure that the ranked server filter is on. You will not be able to gain ranks on an unranked server.
3) You will also want to try logging out and logging back in to your account. This will re-send a query to the stat servers and refresh your local files to ensure that they are the most recent files. If you still have not been awarded a rank, try logging into a different server and playing through a complete round. Once the round is over, disconnect from the server and your rank should be awarded to you.
4) If you feel that the local copy of your account is corrupt, you can refresh this by renaming the Battlefield 2 folder that appears in your “My Documents” folder (to something like ‘Battlefield 2.BAK’. When re-starting the game you will be prompted to retrieve your account details. If this fails or you have forgotten your account password, you can always revert back to the original Battlefield 2 folder.
We do apologize for the length of time this stat issue has been happening and any inconvenience this may have caused.
