BF2S Forums Which medal is most pain in the ass to get?

I said Medal of Valor.  The "250 hours played" is by far the easiest requirement for that one.  30,000 team points?  That should be tough, even for the die-hard medic whores out there (including me).  Then theres the 5,000 driver special ability points.  I know that I have less that 100 in over 100 hours played, so I can't imagine how long that would take.  The flag defense sucks too, seeing as you can't force those and you have to wait for someone to cap flags.  I think the requirements for this one are far beyond any of the others.

I voted for medal of valor, because it requires 100h of commander time and i hate commanding

I think you mix some medals... 100 hours of commanding is the "Distinguished Service Medal", + 100 hours as Squad leader and 100 hours of Squad member...

it would be the meritorious service medal....especially the 1000 repair points.....

Oh.......Yeh, well now that im looking at wiki i still say valor, 30000 team points is alot

Got em all, but I did it backwards. I had over 1000 repair points before I had 250 heal or resupply points. Meritorious Service Medal was the last one I received, with the 1000th heal.

I have all of them, I'm close to the requirements for a second Medal of Valor and Meritorious Service Medal and a third Combat Action Medal.

Combat Action Medal:

• Kills: They're not hard to get. You just need a lot of them.
• The 25 kill streak is also not so hard if you can use any kind of vehicle on the right maps, or just go commander and use arty.
• This would have to be the easiest of the 3.

Meritorious Service Medal:

• Resupply is by far the easiest to get. I could get the 1000 resupplies in about 40 Karkand rounds if I wonted to.
• Heals are a little harder, as many people die before getting healed and it takes longer but still not too hard to achieve especially if you play city maps, or IO.
• The repairs is by far the hardest. The situations where you can get repairs are rarer and they take longer to get a require more then just trowing a bag around.
• Again this medal just requires time and dedication, nothing really seems to difficult to get.

Medal of Valor:

• 5000 Driver Special Abilities: To get this quickly you need to be a good pilot, probably of a chopper. But in a bomber works too. Down side is you could be the best pilot in the world and if you have a gunner that can't shoot it wont help much. There are other ways of getting this, like sitting in tanks, APC or in choppers, planes and letting the pilot get the kills. These methods however will take you much longer to get and are kind of boring.
• 1000 defend flags: Not to hard. Watch the UAVs and listen to the commander. When your dead check, check the 'squad' tab and you can see what the UAV/spotting is showing. If there's an obvious move by the enemy to a flag, spawn there and defend it. When ever near a flag, look over to see if it is going down, if it is. Go kill the offender and you'll get the defend flags in no time.
• 30000 team points: take into consideration you already have 5000 from the Driver special abilities and 1000 from the defend flags. That just leaves 24000 you must find other places. If you go medic/support resupplies and/or revive/heals will get you this in no time. Add in some flag caps and kill assists, and don't get TKs and it wont seem so hard. If you are a good pilot, just keep flying with good gunners and you'll get plenty of DSA points.
• This is by far the hardest of the 3, but again, with dedication and learning different aspects of the game it will only be time which holds you back.

Note: Take in mind these medals are really not for your once weekly casual player as they all require a little more dedication, skill and time to get.

Why is everybody saying Meritorious Service? If you're going for expert engy combat, you'll wind up getting 1000 repairs easily. Same for Support. Same for Medic. I've already got my 1000 repairs and 1000 resupply's.

I voted for the Medal of Valor. 30,000 team points is gonna take a while, I'm not even halfway there and I've got nearly 400h played. But I guess once I start playing medic I'll be racking in the team points. 5,000 Driver Abilities?? I'm just nearing 1000, and that's after playing engineer and support a whole lot. Guess when I play medic I'll need to drive around a lot. Which is a whole 'nother issue with all the IO servers out there. Flag Defense points are easy, though. They'll come in due time, and I'm already almost there anyway. I figure I'll finish those before any of the other reqs (well except the 250h play time).

Combat Action Medal is not hard at all. It'll come in due time, just like a lot of the medals. So I'm not worried about that one at all.

The one with 100 hours as commander

That's not on the list!!!!

I still need like 290 repair points for my medal.
I still need like 1647 kills to get my medal.
I still need like 2756 driver ability points and 914 teamwork points to get my medal.

I almost have valor... 90 freaking more drivers to go!!!

But I also say Sharpshooter. I mean, at LEAST 700 hours played. AT LEAST 100 per each kit... That's a while.
