:thumbsdown: Now that I got those medals with 250 hours played someone else will get them with 100? Blah. EA messes up again. I don't think 250 hours was too much to hope for in each theatre to get a medal. The 4500 hours for SpecForces was a bit much though LOL.

yeah it sucks for those who spent the time on reg bf medals, but not for the SF medals as they were much too high at 4500 hours.

So that's why I got the Golden Scimitar tonight. Interesting.. the number of wins was also reduced (used to be 500 wins) I think I have 220 MEC wins.

 

 

Also, I've been trying to get Veteran Explosives, and I've done at least 3 rounds of "rushing claymore assault" and gotten over 23 kills, but no badge yet. I am getting annoyed. The last time, I had 26 clay kills in a round :thumbsdown:

agreed. The 4500 hour one was a bit much but...now someone can get the same medal in half the time?

well the medals used to distinguish the elite to the standards, now they are easy to obtain. soon expert on vehicles will be reduced to like 100 hours I imagine. just a way for EA to keep their audience happy...give em medals.

And again thank you EA for making this game based even more around NEW players. Rejoyce All ye N00BS, and be Greatful that EA conforms their games around people who complain that they cant shoot anyone when they're attempting to hump a medpack while they have full heath. and just for the record... N00B Vs. Wiffle Bat = P0WNED!!!!!!
