You just like giving me more work to do. No, i didn't try with a Spec Ops so i can't comment definitely but now that you've brought it up, I will. Let me try later on today and i'll post if that works or not.

sorry. that surely wasn't my intention.

I would try it myself but I suck at flying.

If I had 100-hours with assault class, and made 40 kills in one round while playing an SF map, would I get the expert assault badge? And once reaching 44 kills, would I get the expert assault combat specialist badge, too?

In other words, can you get regular awards and specialist awards in BF2:SF? Or must I play a vanilla BF2 map if I want a regular award?
i'm about 99% sure you can receive vanilla BF2 awards in SF. just not the other way around.

Right I didn't have my veteran spec ops badge when I started playing again when SF came out. Got 20 kills on Devil's Perch and got my BF2 veteran spec ops badge. Then came back and got 22 kills and got the specialist version. Also as a note I got vet knife/pistol badge in SF too. So, I'm pretty sure you can get any BF2 award in SF.

yea, i think you can get any bf badge in sf with the exception of avaition badges for the large reason of no jets. but i still don't like how the game and expansion feel like two different games when you try and play different maps

Ok i tried with Spec Ops on Gulf of Oman and no luck. Didn't get the SF Aerial Service Badge so I don't think it's possible at this moment. It makes sense as it doesn't check what kit you're using only how many kills you make and if/when you're in a jet at the time. Theoretically you can just sit in the jet for 20 mins as commander and use arty to get the kills.

Tried for the SF Armor Service Badge in original BF2 with the same luck as the SF Aerial Badge. It doesn't look like you can get any of the SF ribbons by playing BF2. It only works the other way apparently.

I also don't like how the expansion isn't fully integrated into BF2. It's like playing two different games and any time i wanna switch between original maps and SF maps it has to restart which is annoying. It's just different maps loading after all so why is that? Kits are pretty much the same and with the 1.12 version both have the same weapons available for player use.

Most game expansions just add on to the original game so why does EA/DICE have trouble doing the same?

Just wondering how you obtain a team point. Having a heck of a time obtaining 50 team points in a round.

Teampoints are gained for any of the following: Repairing a vehicle your teammate is in, repairing destroyed commander assets, reviving a dead teammate, healing an injured teammate, supplying ammo to a teammate, supplying ammo to a vehicle a teammate is in, capturing a flag, defending a flag, neutralizing a flag, assist in capturing a flag, assist in neutralizing a flag, kill assist (when you damage an enemy before a teammate kills them), or when your teammate kills an enemy while you're both in the same transport or heli, etc.

Basically anything you do other than kill an enemy. Kills are counted as combat (2 pts each).

*noob alert*
hello all, i've read thro the 6 pages here and i would just like to ask a few q's as i still havent come to a conclusion.

Whats the final verdict? can i get the new avalable ribbons playing old bf2(air,helo,crew?)

Thanks if any one could shed any grace on the matter...

Also to the fellows that were talking about the navy getting the army apache, and us brits getting the sea hawk(should have been our navy lynx)- I was thinking the mi28 hind had 8 seats on it? i was miffed as to why they brought it in as an attack chopper rival to the apache as it was made in the 50's-60s and is old? i thought it would be a bit like the seahawk and hippo just with a few rockets....

One more thing lol, just because these new ribbons are commented out now will ea not un-comment them in the next big patch like they did with the china and arab bf2 ribbons? i thinks its probably to stop all us badge whores collecting them all on the 1st day...

cheers again for any help.

If you recall (think way back), in BF1942 you could switch between Mods, you could play Roads to Rome maps alongside Omaha on the same server, Without having to drop to Windows, and restart... I think Dice took a step back on this one...

The reason we ever bother to learn history, is to prevent us from making the same mistakes we did in the past.

Ribbons: I haven't been able to obtain these ribbons in BF2 and i have only seen them rewarded to people in SF. So no you cannot get the SF ribbons in BF2.

Commented Out Awards: I hope they do but i dunno. They wouldn't have gone through the trouble to make graphics and code for these awards and then not have them available. Doesn't make sense to do something like that. We'll find out when the next patch is out i guess.

P.S. It's not whoring if you don't get paid for it... and i haven't seen a dime.

One note, I was playing a SF map yesterday and got 29+ kills and no team kill\damage messages and I did not receive the Good Conduct Medal that I should have received. (yes I was over the 250h mark at the start of the round) I did however receive the Armor Service Ribbon SF version so I know the server was ranked and reporting. Anyone get any BF2 medals in SF yet?

I've gotten the following awards while playing SF:

Veteran Assault Badge (I actually got this and the Veteran Assualt Specialist Badge in the same round)
Basic Pistol Badge
Ground Defense Ribbon
Armored Service Ribbon
Veteran Command Badge

So yes, you can get BF2 medals while playing SF and you can double-up on the badges (like my getting vetern assault and veteran assault specialist in the same roound).

Of couse if you look at my sig you won't see any of these because my stats don't seem to be updating here, but they are updating just fine elsewhere:

Just checked the EA BF2 site and found this update:

http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/ … ate_113005

In summary it says that EA/DICE is glad we all forked over more cash and upgraded to 1.12 blah blah blah...etc. etc. What i find important is they mention they're in the process of working on a post 1.12 patch.

I'm hoping they will iron out some of the medals/badges/ribbons requirements and/or make some of them available finally. I'll try and look over the new files when they're released.

No note as to when they're planning to do so though.

When I tried to play on Saturday afternoon when the EA servers were all screwed up, I noticed something after they were fixed. I started getting ribbons and badges I should have received a while ago. This is what I expect to happen after a patch, but not after they fixed their server issue. Did they "patch" something with the award stuff or was it just a fluke?

I can't believe they didn't allow any of the new ribbons or medals to be obtainable, that's pathetic.

I got my crew service ribbon and my distungished service ribbon both on a SF server, however I had not recieved the BF2 crew service ribbon, so while the graphic ingame was for the SF version, the one that shows up in my BFHQ is the BF2 one. not a big deal just something that happened to me.

As for the medals in SF i am not sure on that one, I'll let you know when I get past 250 hours. But the badges and ribbons work.

I recieved the BF2 Good Conduct medal and armor whore ribbon in the same Sf map. So you can recieve BF2 Medals in SF.

Veteran SF Specialist Badges

Just received all the veteran badges today.

I can confirm all the IAR requirements for these badges as being exactly what was posted. I counted each one.
