Special Forces Ribbons (requirements)

[Princess_Frosty]

I've just recently recieved a whole load of the Special Forces Ribbons, you can check my profile out here - http://bf2s.com/player/princess_frosty/

The reason I post this (not for ego) is because a lot of people (including myself) are trying to work out exactly what you need for the SF Ribbons, and it's NOT just 5 hours!

Because I got these so recently (last few days) I thought some people would like to take a look at my stats to help try and work out what it is you need.

Here is a sort of break down...

Team Time played Wins Losses BR Medal

USMC / 28:48:20 / 82 / 41 / 95 / NO
MEC / 05:14:36 / 7 / 26 / 89 / NO
PLA / 01:20:45 / 2 / 8 / 12 / NO
SEALs / 29:20:10 / 91 / 35 / 105 / YES
SAS / 27:27:43 / 66 / 52 / 154 / YES
SPETZ / 25:40:17 / 87 / 35 / 99 / YES
MECSF / 26:57:49 / 62 / 55 / 146 / NO
Rebel / 10:09:57 / 30 / 19 / 76 / NO
Insurgent / 10:21:17 / 34 / 10 / 93 / YES
Totals 165:20:54 461 281 869

The first thing i see here is that Insurgent is only 10 hours 21 mins played so assuming all the ribbons are the same it would mean that IF time played was a factor it cant be more than 10 hours.

Also Best roudn is 93 for insurgent so it cant be more than 90 best round to get it.

As i said i've got most of these over the weekend (the last 2 days) if someone else can post stats just after they've got a medal we can work out exactly what the specifications are, or at least narrow them down.

I heard you had to play all the maps for that particular army, and rack up 10 hours with that army.

I have also heard you need '50 hours in theatre', which is like playing on Rebel maps even on the other side to get rebel ribbon. Sounds weird to me, but hey.

Thanks for the info man.

(shouldn't this be in the SF forum where they can see it?)

Someone sent me this link - http://bf2player.com/index.php?page=...69237&show=all

Which shows different criteria which we KNOW are wrong because Im missing criteria for one badge yet i actually have it! And another badge I dont have yet, but I do have all the criteria.

The fact that I started getting most of these badges this weekend isnt a coincidence, I think theres a very strict global requirement which is common between them all, like maybe 100 hours playing SF and then specific criteria like number of kills/points in one round.

I can still only speculate but i can tell you what its NOT and its NOT more than 10 hours in each theatre or more than 90 points in a round.

Without more info from others its not easy to tell but if memory serves, theres people who have got these ribbons with only a few hours on that specific side.

I know its not 10 hrs, because I have over 10 hrs and have played all the levels with the speznatz. I am not totally sure how many hrs it is, no one really is, but I think you are right about just having the 50 hrs in the theater (which I dont have for speznatz) to get the ribbon.

No its not, if you had checked my stats you'd have seen that for yourself.

Thanks for flaming, and if you could swiftly move on before you make yourself look like more of an ass, i'd apreciate it, cheers.

Nope, it's not, I didn't get the insurgent ribbon despite having over 50 hours in theatre and way more than 5 hours in that army.
