Does the EU Service Ribbon exist?
Many stats sites show both a medal and a ribbon, and according to them, I have qualified for the ribbon yet have not earnt it ingame.

Does it actually exist or was it some myth? Your help would be appreciated since it appears as if nobody actually knows!



Greetings Snake,

Thank you for contacting Online Customer Support. 

There is a ribbon called "European Union Service Ribbon."  Good luck my friend in achieving this reward.   

Take Care,

.....so, it appears as if it does exist yet we dont know of the requirements?? Another part of that question to them, was that they wouldnt say what you need to do to earn it. However....from that response above, it does exist.


2 people actually have it: http://www.bf2s.com/awards.php
How (or who)...I dont know

This is like when EA told everyone there was a secret airfield in SF to get the Aerial Service Ribbon. I think they like to pull our legs.

must be some kind of bug since he has exactly 0 hours 0 minutes and 0 seconds playtime with EF

i think he's some kind of beta tester, the nick reminds me of the ones used on the "road to jalalabad" (or whatever) server... BFTEST## ...

Edit: he actually played on this server: http://www.bf2monitor.com/index.php?pag … .176:29901

(according to bf2player.com)

The only people who have these awards are TEST ACCOUNTS.

I have yet to see a genuine player with one.

This tells me that the ribbons were included in the beta or something, but taken out.

maybe they will produce another booster, who knows?

a sf booster would be a good idea since there are not really ideas left for vanilla bf2.

So what if I go back and don't install 1.3 and just intall 1.21 or whatever it is. Then could I get that European Service Ribbon? If not, can whoever runs BF2s (Chuy?) take it off of there so I don't always feel bad that I don't have it and can't get it?

This means a lot of people wont play Euro Forces bacause there are some problems with it like this ribbon thing.
I saw several players stats and they got over 50 hours and they played all the maps.They got the EU Medal but no ribbon.I think EA made something and now the whole thing is fucked up.They should remove the whole patch series and start it from the beginning.
And some "free" new stuff would be cool like more awards and ribbons.They should ask the player community what do WE think and what ribbons and medals could be made.I also think the same for maps.We tell all of our ideas for maps and they collect the info and then they create the map.
And EF and AF should get +2 new maps for free in a patch.Because paying for 3 maps sux.

Well in the Open Beta we can ask:

"Why doesn't the EU Service Ribbon work?"

and

"Why the hell did you make an Airborne Specialist ribbon for SF but not include any planes?"

I agree with you on this. The boosters fell short on additional content. I proposed an idea/poll in BF2 chatter (which was quickly ignored btw) to have EA release a few new maps with the EU for free for everyone. My theory behind it is that those who are too naive to buy it online via credit-card, too young to persuade their parents because a lack of charismatic skill, and/or/any combo they just didn't bother wasting ten bucks, will have a chance to experience EF. Everyone who is willing to download 400 or so mbs of a patch can now do so freely, to can simply download the patch changes, which doesn't include the free EF stuff. If they like it enough, they can buy the booster, and those who already have the booster can now bring new life to Euro Forces. It could fail or it could work, but it's a thought.

Oh, and you wouldn't believe what stuff was in BF2 already before the "boosters" came out.

Another thing...if u check Special Forces and the two boosters you can see wich is better ?
SF is better because they spent more time with it. I know boosters are just to "tune" up the game, but they also could make them better ? Not just some new vehicles i mean new equipment or buildings. All maps in EF are pretty big and nothing for infantry, so tank maps mostly like Smoke Screen or Taraba.
I would give out some new patches for AF and EF wich give some extra, like 2 new maps for each booster.

EA and DICE REALLY should ask the opinion from the gamers !!!
