There seems to be a lot of posts lately about what requirements you need to get the SF Medals and Ribbons, most of you do know, so this is for those that dont:

MEDALS

These are simple, you must have 50 hours played as JUST that army. An example would be, you must play as SAS for 50 hours, so when you swap at the end of the round on say Ghost Town to the Spetsnaz, the time stops for SAS until you go back to them at the start of the next round.

You need 50 wins while playing as JUST that army.

You need a best round score of 100+, again JUST for that army.

When you meet all theses requirements you then get that armys medal.

RIBBONS

These are when it is the "Time in Theater" that counts. Here upto playing 3 maps can count towrds your overall time to gain the ribbon, as EITHER army.

To get the Mecsf and Seal's Ribbon, you MUST play ALL of these:

Iron Gator
Devils Perch
Leviathon

All of these count as TOTAL time towards that ribbon. You should get these 2 ribbons at the same time(not always the case though)

To get the SAS Ribbon, you MUST play ALL of these:

Night Flight
Warlord
Ghost Town

To get Spetsnaz Ribbon, you MUST play ALL of these:

Mass Destruction
Surge
Ghost Town

To get Rebels Ribbon, you MUST play ALL of these:

Mass Destruction
Surge

To get Insurgents Ribbon:

Night Flight
Warlord

YOU HAVE TO HAVE PLAYED ALL THE MAPS LISTED FOR THAT ARMY TO GET THAT RIBBON. PLAYING ALL THE MAPS COUNTS AS TOTAL TIME TO THAT RIBBON NO MATTER WHAT ARMY YOU ARE.

FINALLY:

There is a small glitch with some of the RIBBONS, some people get them before they have enough time in theater, some people get them after way more than the 50hrs you need. If you get the 50hrs and it does not turn up, dont worry it is a small glitch, it will just give it a bit longer.

Hope this helps those that are unsure in getting SF Medals and Ribbons, those that already know how to get them, i am sure you stoped reading this post after the first few words.

Easy: Crew Specialist & Helo Specialist: Iron Gator play as MEC and hope there's a good pilot. But I got the Crew Specialist on Mass Destruction and Helo Specialist on Surge.
Armored Transport: Got mine on Mass Destruction...go for it. Warlord and Surge are also good for it!

Helo specialist and Crew Service ribbon just happen if you are playing good. Don't aim for them in a game or you will be setting yourself up for alot of deaths. Just play good by giving your gunner TV shots and/or using the TV missle when the pilot aims for you. If they don't, wait until the next guy. For the other ribbon, be medic, supply or engy and just emphasize teamwork in your squad or vehicle.

Those ribbons happen just by playing and not being an asshat. No need to rush.

so what defines a best round score?  does that mean gold medal for that round, or just first for the army your playing?

reason for asking - i'm going for my sas medal (50 hours), still got about 8 hours to go, but the other stipulation is "100 best rounds while playing sas"  i have 87 of them (not sure how i got the 87), but no matter what i do now i can't seem to increase this number......

appreciate any help/clarification

thanks guys

That means your best single scoring round. So 87 is the best score that you've gotten while playing as the SAS. You need to have a round where you score 100 or more as the SAS. The 87 means nothing and won't help you get 100...that requirement is done in a single round.

I'd suggest jumping on an IO Warlord or Ghost Town server with only about 16 or so players. With a little skill and plenty of flag capping, you usually have enough time to go over 100

on a somewhat related topic...

Yesterday on Ghost Town I decided to go after the two armored ribbons.  One requires 20 minutes and 19 kills in/with armor, the other requires 20 minutes and 22 kills on special forces map in/with armor.

I got over 40 kills with my tank, and the round lasted over 50 minutes (it was only 5 on 5 most of the map, later it was like 7 on 7.)  I spent literally the whole round either in the SAS tank or repairing my SAS tank, but I didn't get either ribbon.


Any suggestions on why?


BTW this is my first post here, plz don't flame too bad, and yea I'm working on including my stats/xfire right after I post this.  So you know, I made a screenshot of my score from that round so you can see.  All but one kill was in a tank lol.

Thanks in advance,

Where is the screenshot?

With this game you have to acept that this shit just happens, i was going for my Armour Combat medal last week, TWICE getting 30+ kills with no award, the third time i got it!!!

The only thing I can say is keep trying, for what ever reason some medals, ribbons seem to have glitches where you dont get them when meeting the requirements, but as mad as it makes you, keep at it!!!

screenshot is in my XFire, idk how to post it.  Trust me though, i met the requirements lol.  Even the screenshot can't show how long the round lasted.  It was long.

So, yea, thx for advice, I'll keep on trying.  Ticks me off, now there's 3 ribbons I should have that it won't give me

Good tip for armour medal. Ghost town + SAS anti air vehicle. Main gun nets you tons of inf kills, as the barrel can aim so high, unlike tanks and APC's.
