me ->>> http://www.bf2s.com/player/43570563/

2 awards are plagueing me here.. i did a search but didnt see much about this.

Veteran Explosives and now Veteran tactical support for SF.. I have past the requirements for the explosives (including the IAR stuff) and nothing., Now today I surpassed the 100 flashes etc and nothhing. Not entirely sure what is going on but if anyone can enlighten me on my next step of action that would be great. Thanks in advance.

To get tactical support you have to go on a SF server (You should get them as soon as you load)

If you were already on a SF server when you got the 100 flashes, then try going on another one again.

For the Vet Explosives, you might have to get the IAR requirement again, sometimes it doesn't count. For example if you blow up a car with C4 and the enemy gets out, the game will count it as a vehicle kill.

Did the award show up in game?

How long has it been since you did the IAR and nothing.
Sometimes it just takes a while to do it, so say you get the 20 kills (All with either claymore/ATmine/or C4, then carry on killing until it comes up.
It would let me have my veteran pistol until i got 10 more over the minimum to get it :S

What I have seen for veteran awards (as well as expert) you have get the minimum requirements in one round then the next round you play you have to achieve IAR requirements. I do not know if that is a glitch or not but that is how it was that I got my Expert Pistol I got over 40 kills with a pistol IAR and 480 kills with it prior to the start of that round. At the end of that round I was well over the 500 total kills and met the 18 kills IAR requirements. The following round I scored 19 kills with a pistol and then it showed up, saying that I was awarded the badge.

I don't know if this helped you or not. I do know, however, how upsetting it can be to meet the requirements and not get the award! (Unless of course it is the "Enemy Marksmanship Badge" err... Purple Heart rather)

I had this problem with expert knife, I got the 100th kill last night, then nothing. Logged in today, got into a game, and about 5 minutes in it had finally showed up on my screen. Go figure. Just keep playing, hopefully it'll show up.

What you have to do is have the (for vet or expert ordinance badge) 100/300 kills already and then get the IAR. hope this helps

You need 100 BR score as USMC. You only hve 96 BR as USMC. BR is your end score for the match, not about how many times you've gotten medals.

I feel your pain with lost awards.

Can I ask what map and kit you find best to get the 30 explosive kills in? I got my basic with Claymores on Karkand, but also get too many TKs, have gotten 14 with mines but also get too many TKs with the mines.

You have to have a Personal Record of 100 points in one round as USMC.

You need to have a score of 100 or better at the end of any round playing as USMC. Your BR is 96 because thats the highest score you've ever obtained while playing as USMC. Hope that clears it up

just go for vet. explosives again but make sure ur on a karkand or warlord server. (in the palace)
on karkand, be a mec and leave c4 at the entrence of the alleyway at the hotel. they normally run through there a lot. in warlord, scatter claymores throughout the palace. that should get u some kills.

and i dont know wut to say about the vet. tacticle support.
