BF2S Forums Think UBAR is wrong? Prove it.

The crieteria for the MID EAST RIBBON and FAR EAST RIBBON
I'm a little suprised no one still doesn't know the criteria for these awards.The generic criteria is time in theater and time in service.
I have played all the maps from all sides= time in theater.Time in service the real requirement  is 250 hours global. I recieved both ribbons after  I hit the 250hr mark... I play karkand all the time was checking stats and saw the new ribbon i got mid east ribbon. That was the weekend I hit 250 hrs globally. I went and played 1 china map I received the far east ribbon. Neither ribbon showed in the game I think  or I wasn't paying attention but they were in my stats once the round ended...

Criteria
Mid East ribbon
250hrs global=time in service
MEC map rotation= time in theater

Far East Ribbon
250hrs global=time in service
China map rotation=time in theater

the requirements for time in theater is just a total of playing the maps not how long just that u have played them once  I think...
I suspect these are correct and would like credit for these ribbons since  u have no info on these as of yet..

Thks,

I cant get my Veteran Medic and Veteran Assault combat badges, according to UBAR you need 15 hours total and 20 kills IAR. Well, I got my veteran Engineer combat badge and I dont have half the hours in my engineer as I do Medic or Assault. Now that I think about it, this sounds like another bug.

First sergent requires purple heart on top of badges, and 2nd Lieutenant has less points than Sergeant Major of the Corps.

I know for a fact the requirements for First Sergeant Rank are incorrect.

I had a support ticket open at EA Support. He told me my current score (i am already Master Sergeant) was not enough to make it to First Sergeant. However i have all the req. mentioned on ubar (all basic badges and such)

So i pointed the GM to this website. He told me that the info here was not entirely correct.

Unfortunately he would not tell me what the exact requirements are. He did however give me some hints. He told me i didnt qualify yet because of certain kit score, points and time tallies.

So i started to do some comparing stats with 3 First Sergeants. My conclusion so far is that you probably need to play either medic or support for a certain time. This will obviously result in higher resupply/revive score.

I am very confident in my source of information, and until they stop dancing around the point and come out with an official guide to the requirements for various ranks/awards/etc, then I would appeciate it if they'd stop blowing smoke up our collective asses.

Additionally, I can tell you from [url=http://bf2s.com/player/18282083/]this guy[/url] or perhaps [url=http://bf2s.com/player/43989437/]this one[/url] that medic/support points have jack shit to do with getting the rank. And if they do, it's so insignifcant as to not even matter. (What, 10 heal points to get First Srg? Sure...)

another thing i hink mioght need tweeks is the veteren combat medals for the kits, i have 16+ hrs as spec ops, and have have several rounds where i only used it and got well over 20 kills, up around 35-40 and it still never poped up. i also dont think its just the server needing to update cause i made sure i had 15+ hrs a few days back and have tryed to do it since then, perhaps the time requirement is 50?

And if i get the promotion before getting to 50.000 points i will let you guys know

You won't. You will only get promoted to one or the other rank when you hit 20,000. If you don't have the badge reqs when you hit that number, you miss out.

Additionally, before you say the next thing you're bound to say, no you probably didn't meet the reqs when you made the rank. You, like a slew of other players, probably earned the knife or pistol badge in the same round -- and EA didn't record the lower badge. This means that when 20k came around you didn't actually meet the req because you, techincally, did not have that award.
