That was the first medal I got, and it was before anyone knew the requirements for it. I was so proud, I thought I had done something amazing. Then when I found out was it was I realized that I just sucked. So then I went out and tried to earn another one so that I could say I had two just for the fun of it. I have managed to earn on purpose two more, but they don't show up in my stats. And byt the way, I only went out to "earn" them again on some games when I wasn't doing well to begin with.

170k and i have never let that happen.  If a round was going that badly, I'd quit long before I got near the requirements.  I prefer to have fun when I play games. I couldn't imagine dying 25+ times in one round, except if I had a hundreds kills or something.

i do. because when i was new to the game i wanted as much awards, medals, ribbons as possible, so that was pretty much the first one i got. i remember it aswell

i first got 5 kills, not worrying about dying that much, then when i got 5 kills, i started running out into the open hoping to get killed, that happened around 20 times, then the drum roll lol! i was like "YES" because it was one of my first awards hahahahhaa

dude. who cares??? i think its actually good to get it because that way u can pretty much say that u have gotten all the awards. its not a bad thing to get it. lol. its not like ppl say "zomg he has the purple heart he must suck" btw u said that u leave the map so u dont get it. that's sad. the only time i got it was thefirst time i "tried" to get it and i was bored another day and said "hmmmm im gonna go for the purple heart" lol. thats because my requirements for any other award was so far away and i really wanted to hear that drum roll! hehehe

No problem smack, this was one of the first "awards" I received.  You'll get over it in a hurry.  Now its time for your ground defense (Sharqi is a great map for this one)

Well it finally happened.  The one award I could stand to never get.  I was playing Sharqi last night, and not having a very good round (happens often for me..LOL).  Then I hear that familiar drum roll and think, huh...what could I have possibly earned having such a sad round?  Then I see it..."Ahh crap...not the purple heart".  I guess it was bound to happen eventually.  Damn purple heart...

If you are new to the game getting the Purple heart cheers you up and proves you are no quitter.
If you disconnect to avoid a purple heart, you do not DESERVE the medal anyway

When you become experienced player, it becomes "hard" to get that medal, because it goes against your reflexes  NOT to kill the enemy before  he kills you.
You have to run TOWard the Arty instead of away, you have to NOT repair a vehicle; becomes funny if you think of it - BF2 upside-down-.
(Getting a  purple heart with suicides is a bit coward though/the easy way out btw).

Got mine on my first attempt to get the knife badge.

Got the knife badge a few attempts later.
So getting the purple heart wasn't too bad.

Got mine not too long ago... I didn't think I ever would, but I was playing on a Wake server as USMC with only 7 or 8 people on each side, and the J-10s were making things impossible. When there are that few players on Wake, it's basically a J-10 shoot-em-up. I was the only one actually trying to get on land and died a lot as a consequence. I kept thinking "just one more try and I'll make it on to land and get some kills" then I got the Purple Heart
