_+ MEDALS +_
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-> The Gold Star <-
###################
- 1st overall place ranking at end of round
"Having more gold stars generally tends to mean you're an excellent point
accumulator, and understand how to help your team. Engineers, Medics, or
Commanders most typically earn this medal. You'll find several gamers with
plenty of them, as all you need is a first place ranking to warrant the
earning of one. Very common."
-> The Silver Star <-
#####################
- 2nd overall place ranking at end of round
"Having a good relation between gold and silver stars means you're a
consistent top scorer regardless of the situation at hands. You may have
kicked butt during a round, but a Commander might have had a doubled score
that simply was higher than yours. Regardless, I place silver & gold stars
on an almost equal plateau. Very common."
-> The Bronze Star <-
#####################
- 3rd overall place ranking at end of round
"Bronze stars tend to show a good combination between combat and teamwork
skills. You're either a balanced player, you score a lot by accumulating a
lot of skills, or you simply got lucky by scoring third overall. Bronze
stars tend to be much more common than silver and gold stars. They're
nothing special, but you're earning a medal for accomplishing something
during a round. Very, very common."
-> The Purple Heart <-
######################
- 1:4 Kill to Death Ratio (must be minimum of 5:20 k:d)
"The worst medal you can earn, although it signifies you sacrificed your life
multiple times for your country. The Purple Heart is practically a
rememberance medal, and is earned in this game when you have a K:D ratio of
1:4 (min 5 kills, 20 deaths). Note that this ratio must stay the same till
the end of the round. If you see that you've earned it, don't start kicking
butt, otherwise the medal is revoked from your record. While this medal is
common, some players will purposely not earn it since it's a disgrace to
your stats."
-> The Meritorious Service Medal<-
##################################
- 250 Global Hours played, 1000 Global Heals, 1000 Global Repairs,
1000 Global Resupplies
"Quite a rare medal, although the near-easiest one you'll have a chance to
get. This medal represents dedication and merit to the task at hand, and
also suggests minor teamwork capabilities. The toughest portion with this
medal is getting 1000 repairs, considering repair points are yielded at such
a slow rate. If you do get this medal though, it looks fancy, and obviously
is unique compared to the base 3."
-> The Combat Action Medal <-
#############################
- 250 Global Hours played, 25000 Global Kills, 25 Kills (Kill Streak),
33 minutes played in one server
"This medal has a tougher requirement to earn, but it is also the most common
combat medal you will find on the higher players. The toughest requirement
is 25000 kills which frankly takes about 500 hours to earn, unless you Engy
whore vehicles, and what not. Heck, I've played for 200 hours and only have
about 8000 kills (a good ratio though, heh). The 25 kill streak is
manageable, and the other two requirements are almost laughable. If you do
get this medal, feel proud, and let that medal shine on your uniform."
-> The Air Combat Medal <-
##########################
- 200 Global Hours in an Airplane, 10000 Global Kills in an Airplane,
25 Kills during 1 round with Airplane
"This is a tough medal to get, since you have to spend 200 hours in a
jet. To be honest, that is friggin' insane. Given the fact that jets are
such a rarity in this game unless you're playing on low-player servers, and
you must accumulate 10000 kills, this one will take awhile to get. It might
be a medal to earn on 32-player servers, but you won't earn kills as quickly
compared to a 64-player server. Consider yourself an expert with this
medal."
-> The Armor Combat Medal <-
############################
- 250 Global Hours in an Armor-type, 10000 Global Kills in an Armor-type,
25 kills in 1 round with Armor-type
"This medal is easier to attain since it is extremely easy to utilize tanks
to their fullest potential. Kills are easy to earn, they can be taken from
place to place, and tanks are much more common. Don't be surprised if a few
top engineers already have this medal. Even the global hours requirement is
moderately low, given a large portion of players use tanks every round they
play."
-> The Helicopter Combat Medal <-
#################################
- 250 Global Hours in Helicopter, 25000 Global Kills in Helicopter,
30 kills in 1 round with Helicopter
"Another mid-range medal that can be earned, but with patience and
dedication. Obviously, flying a helo for 250 hours is the first requirement
to meet. The kills requirement is high, but a measure that can be earned
through good piloting skills. Still, probably one that few will earn, and
only the most elite pilots will have both air & helicopter combat medals."
-> The Good Conduct Medal <-
############################
- 250 Global Hours played, 27 kills in 1 round, No TKs in that round,
No team damage in that round, No team vehicle damage in that round
"This medal is probably one of the easiest to earn, granted you have a near
perfection round with no TKs. Ideal for the setting of Karkand to earn on,
or something of that sorty. Practically an upgraded version of the Good
Conduct Ribbon, but it does look fairly unique."
-> The Combat Infantry Medal <-
###############################
- 500 Global Hours played, Basic Knife/Pistol/Assault/
Anti-Tank/Sniper/Support/Engineer/Medic badges earned,
34 minutes played in one server
"This is one of the most respected combat medals you'll find on a player's
stat page. It practically represents that the player knows how to fight, and
is also quite a common medal. While the 500 hours requirement is extreme,
nearly anyone can earn basic badges, and you only need the basic class
badges (plus pistol & knife) to get this one. It also looks cool with a
skull face."
-> The Marksman Infantry Medal <-
#################################
- Combat Infantry Medal earned, Veteran version of above Badges,
34 minutes played in one server
"Practically an enhanced Combat Infantry medal, the Marksman Infantry medal
shows your dedication to BF2 is ungodly. You've spent nearly 40 hours
playing each class, and you earned the respective veteran badges on each. To
be honest, this one takes precious aim of well-balanced players. The
toughest part is just getting the base Combat Infantry medal, not to mention
awesome rounds as each class for those veteran badges."
-> The Sharpshooter Infantry Medal <-
#####################################
- Marksman Infantry Medal earned, Expert version of above Badges,
34 minutes played in one server
"This is one of the toughest medals to find. If anyone has it, then bow at
at their kness. Just earning the expert versions of each of those badges
takes lot of time dedication, lots of kill dedication, and good round
dedication. This means you're a god at BF2, plain and simple. You'll rarely
see this medal unless it is announced on the forums to have been spotted on
another account or something."
-> The Medal of Valor <-
########################
- 250 Global Hours played, 5000 Driver Ability Points,
1000 Global Defend Flag Points, 30000 Global Teamwork Score
"Unless you suck at combat, this is the ideal medic or support medal. It
means you absolutely rock when it comes to helping out your teammates. The
toughest element is getting 30000 teamwork points, since that is practically
twice as much teamwork compared to earning combat kills. Still, it's the
coolest medal out of the bunch."
-> The Distinguished Service Medal <-
#####################################
- 100 Global Hours as Commander/Squad Leader/Squad Member,
Team Score of 53 in 1 round
"This is practically a participation medal, although it requires one round of
extremely high scoring in terms of teamwork. Try being a medic on one of the
urban maps and simply reviving till you hit that range. Really, the toughest
element is accumulating 100 hours as a commander, since there can only be
one commander on each team. This is an excellent medal to earn in
conjunction with the War College Ribbon."
-> The Navy Cross <-
####################
- Requirements fairly unknown, 100 minimum wins as USA,
### hours played as USA
"The specific hour requirements are not known for this medal. However, it
shows that you have won a lot as the USA team, and tend to know how to excel
in the face of danger with the USA team. An obvious medal to be honored
with, although it does not necessarily mean you're a great player. It just
shows you have dedicated a lot of time with one team."
-> The Golden Scimitar <-
#########################
- Requirements fairly unknown, 100 minimum wins as MEC,
### hours played as MEC
"I actually consider this medal a great honor since it is tough to get a good
amount of winning rounds with the MEC team. Granted, it's possible, but the
USA team usually beats MEC on most maps, which means you'll have a bad
winning ratio as MEC. Still, another time dedication medal."
-> The People's Medallion <-
############################
- Requirements fairly unknown, 100 minimum wins as China,
### hours played as China
"A time dedication medal that I rate in-between. Few of the great maps
feature China, so a handful of players will rarely play them to their best
extent. However, it's possible to get a decent amount of wins with China
when facing the USA. Not a critical medal."
