Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
Here are my tips on getting this ribbon.
Win/Loss Ratio greater than 3 - This is fairly easy to accomplish specially if your starting a new account, but virtually impossible if you have a mature account with over a thousand losses. To be on the winning side, go on a server and simply switch to the side currently winning substantially. Be mindful of flags already capped because I dont know how many times I joined the winning side pointwise only to lose because the majority of the flags were already held by the other side. Also, you can only switch once and autobalance will always place you on the losing side.
Commander Hours of 50 - This is also easy to accomplish particularly if you join a large map with few players. An added benefit is usually the commander position has not been filled so check your squad window.
Commander Score of 45 in one round - This means before it is doubled at the end of the round. But not that difficult if you join a large map with few players.
Tips on being a Good Commander - Be an Engineer or a Medic so you can see on the map if your soldier's health/armor are depleted. Hide under a structure that cant be reached by artillery. Drop supplies ahead of your squads if their heading towards guarded flags so they can heal during battle. Use artillery away from your squads no matter how tempting it is to strike a cluster of 20 enemies in the middle of your squads. My favorite targets are lonewolves trying to cap a flag by themselves and snipers because they remain at the same spot long enough for arty to arrive. Your main enemy as a commander are spec ops blowing up your UAV and SAT and reloading their C4's once you drop a box to heal your assets. They are pests. Assign a chopper to blow them away or most satisfying arty them while they are still.
Benefits of being a commander of course are the high Kill/Death ratio and the star medals at the end of the round. Also it is much easier to achive badges with each kit because arty kills are counted as regular kills. Good luck with youre quest to get this ribbon. I am now retiring this account.Comment

Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
So you exploit the team switching to get it instead? I agree i will never get any award by cheating the system, if that means i only ever get half of them or even less then so be itOriginally posted by X-ander
Awards like this one were meant for the select few players, same as the really high ranks. The whole system will soon be meaningless (maybe it already is?) because everyone will have all the basic awards (everything but the medals) and they will be 1000's of staff sergeants and higher at this rate by christmas :laugh:
My predictions for thread topics in the coming months ...... " EA/DICE - Add more awards, i havent won any in weeks!!" You just wait and see.Comment

Im not exploiting a ****, actually cause im not aiming for it.
Maybe when i hit staff sergeant will think about getting it and obviously i dont know how the hell im gonna do that without switching.
If you started an account and didnt know this, which was my case cause at the time the info given was KILL RATIo, you simply are screwed up.Comment

Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
Sorry i should have made it clearer i was referring to the two people above (irondentist and sincles) that are recomending people just swop sides to get it. But as i said in my first post i wish nobody knew how to get the awards in the first place, any of them.
That is the only way to be able to accuratly tell who earnedthe awards rather then exploiting them, and also will give them some potential to last to life of the game.Comment

Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
one award I'll never have.. when I join a server I'm put in a team, and unless the team is acting like a collection of retards with constant TK's and a rambo CO I'll stick by my team till the bitter end :p
some of the most memorable victorys are gained like this, like when we turned around a 20-80 ticket situation and won by... 1 ticket
If I'd have been a betting man, I'd have put my bank on the other team.. if I'd been trying to 'improve my stats' I'd have had a loss for my trouble *edit* - which would have been perfectly OK - still, it was a sweet victory

Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
I knew there would be hatahs on this board talking crap about how I got the ribbon. I created this account specifically to get this one because I have been obcessed playing with BF2, gotten all of the ribbons and some veteran badges but I didnt know if TotalBF2 or UBAR had the right requirements on getting the WCR. So I set to prove it for myself and to definitively settle the argument whether it is the K/D or the W/L ratio that had to be greater than 3. This is why Im retiring the irondentist account and will play it no longer. I have another account that I use for fun and for getting the other ribbons and that one has 7 purple hearts :). But mostly from crashing choppers and planes when I was trying to get my wings.
My Rant from the BF2S board:
Regarding the point system on BF2, playing as commander made me realize how meaningless it is because of point padders. At one game, we were demolished by the opposing team only to see the top two scorers were on my team. I realized they were standing close to where I was hiding and they were emptying their clips and giving each other ammo as support. They ended up with close to 200 points a piece where everyone else even on the winning team didnt even break a hundred. UliekaMadiek and UwannMadiek you know who you are.Comment

Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
yar i dont wish i had to change sides at the last second to get a win...but blame EA/DICE for making this award like that....its not our fault this ribbon is next to impossible to achieve, even for the most skillfull player out there...its based on how well your side goes, which you have very little bearing on....dont hate the player, hate the game!!Comment

Re: War College Ribbon...Finally got it today
Why can't you understand that not everyone is suppose to get every award, it defeats the whole point of them. Did you earn ANY of your awards legitimatly? .... oh i forgot dont blame the player and all that......
