No need to tell you how stupid you sound.

To get the sharpshooter medal you need all expert badges.

To get expert badges for each class needs 1000 hours of playing time for each class.

7 Classes.

7 x 1000 = 7000 hours.

There are 8544 hours in a 356 day year.

Lets say you get 5 hours of rest each day, is 1780 hours.

You have 6764 hours left.

Assuming you have no life and can play all of that time you will need at least 2 years.

The average person doesn't have even what it takes to get close to that time.

In the timespan of 2 years a new game will come out to replace BF2. BF2 came on the edge of next generation games and gaming consoles which means it will die sooner than its counterpart BFV did.

So do you think its redicilous to expect us to play 7000 hours minimum for a medal?

I'd suppose it would be.

Re: Should EA lower the requirements for medals?

i reckon worse than all is the veteran ground and air defense. 250 hours in ground defense or air defense to get this, while veteran armour and helicopter is 100 hours and veteran airplane is 500 hours. why did they make them all different in stead of 100 hours each or 150 hours each.

Re: Should EA lower the requirements for medals?

they shouldve made the hour requirements similar for all of them. theyre too scattered id say.

Hey tard basket. The reason EA has hard metals to get is to sift out the NOOBLERS like you. If you keep playing this game at a decent rate you will get them.

I dont think you know how stupid you sound, THESE METALS ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO PLAY (ARE GOOD) NOT NOOBLERS LIKE YOU!

Ya the AA and AT veterans are a little high considering you would have to sit on them for 250 hours straight.

No. I think medals make a good challenge. If you think about it, soldiers in real life don't come home weighed down in medals. The point is NOT to colelct all the medals, the medals are to show that you excel in a certain skill.

Re: Should EA lower the requirements for medals?

I didn't vote for anything. I think most of the whole point system should be scrapped. It makes for too many players running around using the dumbest methods of getting points that are border line exploiting just so they can have some stupid rank or picture beside their name. If anyone ever played America's Army, the game Devs actually starting to get pretty frustrated with the various trackers because too many people were rambo-ing their way through maps just to increase their "frag-rate"(Kills/Deaths). This took a huge toll on the squad type game they were trying to make. Now I know that the points do unlock weapons, wich is great, but they could've used a more appropriate system. Maybe you would actually need to gain a certain amount of experience using that weapon or kit?

Sorry for the rant but it is true that points, just simple numbers, promote some of the most demented gameplay that people have adopted in this game rather then, I don't know, playing the game for fun maybe?
