help me please i dont get the medals and the otherthings

[Teh_Diplomat]

I find when I play for Medal, or any specific award I get bored and frustrated with the game. I like to just play the game, and when an award comes up its much more satisfying when you're just playing as you normally would, as opposed to 'hunting' medals.

However there are certain ones that defy this norm. The first is the one that forces you to ascertain this medal/Award, like Knife kills. Something like Air Force ribbon(15 minutes in Jet/19 Kills IAR) is much less structured and can be done without actively pursuing it, but just by being a good team player.

However some are really fun to try and get, like Veteran Explosives, I've tried numerous times and thus far have failed, but always enjoyed the attempt of grabbing it because it involves blowing a ridiculous amount of people up compared to how you would play a normal round.

yeah i think its much more satisfying when i get a medal and im not expecting it or gain a rank or something - the latter happening in the early stages of the game where ranks are gained more frequently, where as the awards have a less steep decline.

that is also true - certain medals u just need to go out of your way to get them, they are ridiculous to attain otherwise! like the Sharpshooter Infantry Medal or the War College ribbon award, i mean comon everyone must've tried to get those rather than just "oh my...what a pleasent surprise!" or at least played an insane amount for the medal.

the novalty wears off with the medals. i dont know what the last 10 medals were i got but its a nice in game jingle you hear and you know youve done something special lol

[Metal Knight]

yeah its always nice to be rewarded, who doesnt like compliments/rewards?

=) but working towards them is def a bore (for me anyway)

simple answer, dont use BFHQ, use BF2Player.comor any other suggested site

There are, btw, some servers that might update poorly. And this is not a general problem.
Example: NSI Warlord server
While all my friends seem to get their awards there without a problem, I can't!
I got the ingame message that I achieved the expert medic combat, but it never showed up in BFHQ or anywhere else.
Just the last days I went for the expert tactical weapons (500 uses in total). I was on the NSI Warlord server because it's a great Warlord server and went up to 555 TW uses.
Not even ingame it showed up.
I logged out, logged into another SF server, shot ONE gas et voilá, there it came.
Idk, why I have this problem on this specific server, but now I know that when I want to go for an award, I choose another server ;-)

I had the same problem and I had to wait almost a week and they finally showed up.

[ElFipso]

^^ yes, sometimes it just takes a bit of patience, but I got the ingame expert medic combat specialist months ago and it never showed up.

yeah i had the same problem, with my expert medic badge, i shoulda had it, but then quit, next day i played it still wasnt there, as soon as i killed someone whilst i was a medic it came up the screen =)

[ElFipso]

WTF is wrong with SF servers. Tonight I should have achieved the Expert Sniper Specialist TWO fckn times I got 39 kills as sniper (38 are requested) I didn't kill with another kit.
Something is really wrong here :-[

[waaah_wah]

Dont you have to play as the sniper kit for X amount of time or something?

Ahh come on Waaah, I not a noob anymore!
It's 100hrs as sniper. I already have the expert sniper combat badge from vanilla, so the global requirements are done.

[waaah_wah]

Then something is messed up

[ElFipso]

Ja well, I just try again tomorrow ;-)

[Metal Knight]

yeah fipso, just go on another server and kill someone while a sniper and im sure you will get badge straight away
