Yawn, I still have some medals that require 4000+ hours according to this site, they should reduce the badge requirements, there isn't enough time in a round to get 40 or 44 kills

Was 4500 excessive? 50 is much more reasonable. Thanks for the info.

3 new medals popped up in my stats today.  I was like "huh?  that can't be right!".  Guess I was wrong.

Oh leave it out Psycho, you are either an ex squad (in which case you should know better than to preach) or some twat that thinks he is cos you watched a programme on discovery.

Either way, this is a game that is played worldwide that uses safe war simulation as it's selling point, it is not meant to be gospel, so if people want to call themselves soldiers (in a purely cyber sense) then where's the harm?

I have been in two theatre's in my time, and have risked my life, and I have absolutely no problem with anybody wanting to call themselves a fictitous soldier.

You are right, afterall thanks to them we have the cheapest gasoline in the world!
No one told them to go there.
Actually Venezuela has the cheapest gas right now with like $0.15 USD.


Anyway, i'm happy now since i got my navy cross and mec medal's today

ehh....
"EU Special Service Medal - Now requires 50 hours"
The Ribbon still takes 100h?
Thats the wrong order! Vice versa!

Sounds silly to me, that a medal is easy to get, and the ribbon is far away Oo

When did I think I was a Psycho? Yes, it is my name for BF2, but I don't think i am one, unlike all of u. I gurantee u, some here think they can go to iraq and pwnd those ub3r n00bs with there 1337 skillz in bf2. lmao
And we play BF2, but we don't think we're real soldiers.

Quite a few gamers are actual soldiers. And yes, most soldiers have a choice. Some are forced in by their parents, others have the choice of the military or jail. That's not a good choice, but I'd definetly pick military.

Psycho, you got all worked up over Citizen calling the guy a soldier. It was a joke, and I think it somehow hit close to home basing on your response.

Is one of your family members in the military (or did someone you know die in war)? Or are you just in a bad mood.

Um, shouldn't the EU be 100 hrs like the other 3 army medals? Instead of 50. Also, I hope they just left out insurgent and aren't leaving the insurgent requirements at 4,500.

Awesome . . . they indeed are in effect now!

I wonder though, does this count as the award changes in the 1.3 patch? Or will those be different modifications?

2 medals added. Cool.

They don't need a patch for these awards - these awards are 'given out by EA personally' - not by the servers, so the only 'patching' done is with the EA hub.
