The Meritorious Service Medal.

For the past  6 months or so it seems, every time I play BF2, I get the Congratulations you have just been awarded the "The Meritorious Service Medal" on the first game a I play. Only happens once, it  happens if I play for some time, shut  down the game, come back later, Im "awarded" it again. Its getting a little annoying.

Now I checked the "search forums" for an issues with medals not being awarded. Most posts I found said " dont worry you will get in a few days" or "the stats is down, give it time" or something similar. Great, but 6 months !!

Unfortunately I didnt find anything that really pertained to this slight problem. It keeps saying I have been awarded The Meritorious Service Medal. Fine, thanks, great, ok, enough already. The daft thing is, this should be the second time I get this award. First time was way back  in April 2006, but I can not understand why it wont just give me the medal and leave me alone. I do have all the requirements to recieve the medal for a second time. In talking to others who play, I have tried to take some advice from them !! Reinstalled BF2, reinstalled and updated punkbuster, dont play for a month !!! That was easy I was in hospital so could not any way !!!

So, what Im looking for now is something sensible, as to a reason why it wont give me the medal and leave it at that. Please dont bother telling me to search because I did. Unless you can find me a specific post regarding this issue that I missed, then I appologise. Smart comments or flaming are not required either. Just some help.

Thanks.

Are you sure you got the medal on a ranked server? Unranked servers hand out medals left and right, they dont register though ofcourse.

That is strange. I've heard of a EU ribbon bug where you never actually recieve the award, but not for the meritorious servce medal.

The only thing I can suggest is email EA's customer support, I mean, it's been 6 months so what's another 6 .

BTW Would you mind linking your stats?

nm i assume this is you

The reason you get the "You've been awarded the Meritorious Service Medal" at the start of every round is because you are eligible to earn it a second time.  The same is true with the Medal of Valor.  Unfortunately, you will never be awarded the Meritorious Service Medal more than once and you will get the same "You have been awarded..." junk at the start of every gaming session.  Blame DICE.

Interesting, makes sense too.   There's your answer OP.

First off congrats, that's a lot of heal, repair and supply points. Good for joo.

Doesn't look like there's any solution to your problem and hey, is it honestly that much of an issue? It's only 3 seconds out of your game...

If this is you http://bf2s.com/player/47582200/ then you already have it and the question about repeated medals have been answered, it's a bug!
