Service Medal Requirements Reduced.

so if the requirement for the SAS service medal is 50 hours what will it be for the ribbons. I already have the SAS and Insurgent ribbons.

It looks to be 50 hours AS THAT ARMY, not 50 hours in theatre as the ribbons are.

He is not a soldier. None of you are soldiers. You all play a video game. the REAL soldiers are in Iraq right now, risking their lives so you all can play bf2 all day.

I'll be getting the Navy Cross and quite close to Golden Schmitar (sp?). 100 hours is about right for a service medal, and yay for 50 hours for SF and EU medals. And double yay for North American Service Ribbon.

What's well said about it? I said it was just a game, with FAKE soldiers, and yet he says it is just a game, and all of a sudden it is well said? Sweet. Oh yeah, iddiot who gave me negative karma here, it's "You're a prick" not "your".

YOU ARE NOT A PSYCHO! REAL PSYCHOS ARE IN ASYLUMS BEING CRAZY SO PUNKS LIKE YOU CAN HAVE L33T NAMES TO USE IN ONLINE FORUMS!

douchebag

also...are they just changing the time requirement or are they doing away with the win requirement as well? from what that says it looks like we still might have the win requirement (ie, 500 wins for navy cross)

it would make more sense for them to change it to simply 100 hours and remove the win requirement (since 500 wins takes about 250 hours anyway) but that link didn't say so, perhaps poorly worded by EA

[QXJZ]Capt_Kefra: Alright, you're good to go!; +124|6949|Honolulu, HI

Uhh..very nice, now getting back to the subject at hand...

I now meet the Golden Scimitar and Navy Cross time requirements very easily, but if I had known I would have needed more WINS to get those damn things...argh! Same goes for the SF medals, if you only need 50 hours but 250 wins, I suspect it'll take most people longer than 50 hours to get them. Even a win-loss ratio of 3:1 means that you'll need to play 8 rounds an hour to get them within 250.

All in all though I'm quite happy. But as someone mentioned a bit earlier, will EA fix their coding for the "broken" awards--the SF ribbons that were coded out due to bugginess, the un-earnable Vet & Expert Tactical Support Badge, etc? Grr...
