I got my Valorous Unit Ribbon and Legion of Merit Ribbon:

- Not in Karkand. Kubra Dam
- Not Heli/Jet/Tank whoring. I took whatever I got my hands on or walked.
- With minimal intention. I played my game, shot people, took flags, bombed assets.

I'm so proud of myself.

No challenge is NOT getting it in karkand. I was resisting just playing medic in karkand for the quick 50 points. Or just vehicle wh0re for it. But nope, I got it the way the game was to be played

Haha tthf just get on a chopper and fly me around let me long range tv everything in sight, you'll have the 50 points in no time

Or alternatively you can ride in my jet which makes it so much faster.

But i've got a preference for fighters. Unless you get assists riding on the wing

Thanks Darth!

Anyways. Anyone noticed the new 'Can't create squad' bug gettting more rampant? I'm seeing this on more and more servers already.

I would've taken my meritorious ribbon along with the other 2, but there were ZERO squads ingame.

Pfft.

Are u sure that it is a bug? I've been on a server where the server rules said "No commanders or squads" and these options were disabled. I think its somehow the same as it is on servers where you can not start a voting against commanders.

It ísn't a bug, server admins can change these settings in the server rules. They can disable squads, or even commander.

i didnt pay attention to it, some awards need to go for it, but those dont...

50 team points isnt that hard, go for medic and/or support in a 32 ranked and go getting flags with your squad.

but congrats, well done...

I don't see how you can score 50+ team points by using a helicopter, tank or jet.

If you ask me it much harder to get 50+ team points by using them since capping flags in vehicles is stupid.
You deliver your ass to the enemy on a silver platter.

With the latest patch the only way to get 50 team points in let's say a blackhawk is if the gunners get's 50 kills while you fly it so you have 50 kill assists.

I can now say I am also proud of myself. I got better, so much better that I myself noticed I improved. Finally got my K/D above 1, slowly increasing my W/L ratio and SPM... got so many veteran badges in pure war situations. I am so excited when I get something I did not expect... I shout an equivalent of "Go Tiger Go", which is in my language "To Lave" [pronounced Toe Lovei] and literally stands for Go Lion... and it is something from a very popular beer commerical... anyways.... got so better that only thing I hope for is to learn to fly jets. tried few times in single player - but no way.. kept crushing all the time....

However, got my skill on taking down helicopters with tanks and apc but also shooting other helicopters with TV guided missiles... headshots and traps - I love BF2 it is great!

Looks like you haven't seen me wh0re mashtuur in a blackhawk before? Or kubra dam chopper? with a decent gunner 50 team points is NOTHING.

That says more about the other team if you ask me.
I can't even remember how many choppers I shot down in this game. (Or strip them of their crew and let it fall down like an empty husk for that matter)

And it's going to be even easier when the next patch is released where the choppers and planes loose their pretty unrealistic (even compared to the other vehicles in this game) armor.

I have even hit a JFS once with a 125mm round and it still continued to fly so I was very happy to read that this will be addressed in the next patch.

BF2S Forums I am SO proud of myself.
