Nerf Time Requirements???

Re: Nerf Time Requirements???

Personally I think the whole game should be nerfed with exception of myself and whatever I choose to play.

Oops, I just described 90% all those playing BF2. For an encore maybe I'll check out my stats later. If I do so will you guys be my friend? LMAO

Except there is nothing "hard" about accumulating 100 hours in a kit. It's the easiest requirement in the game.

It's IRL that I'm going to have a problem sitting in front of the Pc playing one specific kit for 4 days solid. Not counting map loading time.

The time requirements for the Expert's are simply "Whoo hoo, I have no life outside BF2!" badges.

The 40kills IAR is better, IMHO.

Nerf? You mean make them harder? Yes.
In BF2, Expert does not mean Expert. (The exception would be armor.)

Nerf? You mean make them easier? Hell no!

Don't play for badges, and don't play for nerfs. Just play the game (and get pwned). Then post about it.

Ok "nerf" probably was not the best word to get across with this topic. No I dont mean make them easier for me to get. I am talking about making them actually represent what they are supposed to. Right now anyone who has expert......How are we to know that you got your sniper expert in a tank or jet or heli......dont get me wrong I know there are plenty of you out there that did it the right way but also many who didnt...come on admit it if ya did it in a jet!!!!

I think they should make you earn the badge by doing what is required of the kit instead of a time time limit and the amount of kills.

Sniper...# of kills with sniper rifle + # of kills with claymore
Eng.....# of kills with a mine + # of repair points

You get the idea. Like I said "nerf" is the wrong word!!

I think anyone that uses the word 'nerf' and 'BF2' in the same sentence needs to be smacked.

You just did it.

Re: Nerf Time Requirements???

If there was no time requirement, than almost every one would get it. Some where in those 100 hours you will gain skill with that kit.

Yes but another thing to keep in mind is you could be an expert at it with out putting in the time....ie....new accounts etc. Or you could just naturally be good at the kit and could satisfy other requirements that dont include amount of time. To me the time requirments are just a way for EA to keep people playing this game and not a reflection of weather you are an expert or not...

I know it probably wont be changed but I think the time requirements are a bit silly and dont reflect if you truely have mastered the kit you are playing.

Re: Nerf Time Requirements???

I am of the opinion that the requirements for badges/medals/ribbons is focused too much on time... However time should still be a part of this....

Back in December I wrote a editorial (so to speak) on this exact topic you can see it here:

Nice read and I agree with your article.....you definately said it better than my initial post asking if they should "nerf" time requirements. Most people took it to mean I can not get the badges or that I was complaining. Well in a way they are right....100 hours is a long time to play the kit and then not to mention how many kits there are...there is what 7 kits? Thats 700 hours of play time required before you even fullfill your kill requirements. Most people dont have that kind of time to put into the game.

I really don't care if I ever get any expert badges etc.....They are fun and definately add a new dynamic to the game that the other FPS games I have played do not have. I really think the time requirments were put in place to keep people playing this game. I mean the more people playing this game...the more booster packs and things like that they can sell. Dont get me wrong I bought both bosster packs....I love Armored furry but Euro was dissapointing but hey.....thats a whole other disscussion.

Now the question is if they take away the time requirments and made the expert badges reflect how well you play a kit....would that encourage stat padding to a greater extent than there already is during the game???

Re: Nerf Time Requirements???

well time and kills doesnt equate to skill, any one can sit in a tank or plane and rack up kills and "get" the expert badge, I wouldnt mind a overall kill and time, rather than kills in a round, that just leads to padding, whereas if it was overall, you could just play the game and eventually get the award

Re: Nerf Time Requirements???

^^ also agreed, either way why are stats and medals such a big deal? you know that picture of a medal you see is just a 101100001 code made by the computer and translate it into an image? i thought games were meant to be recreational, sure stats are nice but you people act crazy about it. what if we didnt have stats or the system crashed or something? what would you do?

Welp I would probably play the game as is. It is one of the more fun games I play so it wouldn't make a difference. They are not a big deal but as long as they are there why not make them represent what they are supposed to represent? Like stated earlier....they add another dimension to the game that is not in any other.
