BF2S Forums 1.3 Award Changes *CONFIRMED*

take my fucking expert knife back EA, i wanna get it the fair and square way.

Well I'm kinda glad they made it easier to get cause many times I found myself running around with a knife and not really helping my team.

I think they should either make it really hard or really easy... that way I can concentrate more on playing the game.

BTW... no matter what they do, I'm getting 2142.

I will confirm the Armor Combat Medal on vanilla when I get a chance.

I can confirm that the above reqs are correct - I just received my Medal. However, this does not appear to work on a SF server. I received the Medal on a vanilla BF2 server.

Even after 1.3 I never had problems to receive any award on SF-maps. The mentioned ACM f.e. I got on Ghost Town.

Can't prove that since I had them already, but didn't they remove the time in a round for them?

Occasionally you will play an ever lasting round on every map but seeking it, I would try a large Warlord with around 24 players after midnight.

Appreciate the posting.  I have played on probably 20 servers, some SF, since the patch.  Probably logged 10+ hours and nothing.  Previous guys posted the 34-minute requirement.

Not a whore, just like the awards.  Fun to see pop-up after spanking the enemy!

Thanks again.

Yes you will need to install 1.3 to get the Veteran Knife Badge.

Interesting.  I have installed the patch, played forever the last few days and simply cannot get it.  Hmmm.

Are you shure weather these seven kills were reported as mine/clay-kills? Keep in mind that they will count as vehicle kills when they go up while you sit in any type of vehicle (f.e. Deadlift [TOW] GuyInBuilding). In addition the mine will stay in the game for a while after your death but the kill-message may only read that you have eliminated someone which makes it count as a kill with your actual kit but not as an explosive kill.

So everything changes, but still stays the same?

First Question:
I have a question for you.  I have earned the Expert Engineering badges.  Both of them.  They were in my account for several weeks.  I could see them on BF2S.  However, it seems that my Expert Engineer Badge has disappeared.  Now it only show that I have the Veteran Engineer Badge.  That really blows as I worked hard for that one!  Spent hours repairing and getting owned during the process.  Is this a normal thing to lose awards that we have earned and posted in our accounts?

Second Question:
Also, I have earned several other badges during game play.  Due to the 1.3 crashes, I have LOST many of them due to the crashes. I will be in a game fragging away and get a notice that I won a ribbon or badge.  Then all of the sudden 1.3 causes a server crash.  Watching cars fly around and other objects appear to lose gravity.  Ouch!  Because of this I have actually earned some badges and ribbons two or three times. Has this happened to you and is there anything we can do about winning these awards and getting credit for them due to server crashes?

Further thoughts. 
I am fairly new to BF2.  Jumped into the game April 1, 2006.  I jumped in and was thrashing around and learning my characters.  However, after I found out that we earn medals, ribbons and badges I find myself NOT having as much fun.  I catch myself saying "I should play the medic because in 50 more hours I get a badge." I don't know.  It seemed more fun when I was naive and simple minded about the game.  Now I read about squad jumping other player "tricks" to get more scoring points.  Now it makes sense to see people jumping in and out of my squads.  One time I was a squad leader with no one in my squad.  I was in an MEC tank owning the USMC in Sharqi.  Next thing I know I have a full squad!  Duh...I must have earned over 90 points and won three ribbons.  (These were the very same ribbons I earned on another server that crashed and lost them because the game did not end before the crash.)  I see other anomalies during game play but that would be too much to write here.

You have to keep in mind that I am 51 years old.  I don't have the reflexes like younger folks.  Nor do I have the dexterity on my $10 keyboard and $12 mouse.  As such, you won't find me standing in line TK'ing others for planes and jets.  Those are awards and badges I will probably never see!

Anyhow, has anyone ever been awarded a a badge, etc, only to have it removed?

Cool.  Looks like things are working.  Regarding the Combat and Marksman Infantry Medals, I have been playing all kinds of maps TRYING LIKE HELL to play for 34-minutes to get the awards.

Which map takes forever?  I've played quite a bit of them BUT it seems like they take 33.999999999999 minnutes.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

found a server called Bug 210% FuN 84.207.19.63:16587 >>> hours timelimit : 3:50:00 !!!!
