ugh ! i feel cheap, i got two
 
Finally they are reduce, there was no way I would have been able to get most of them, some people actually do have a life out side the computer world :rolleyes:
 
Not very fair on those who have got them already tho! Must be hard finding the balance; you dont want them to be impossible, but you dont want them to be cheapened by having everyone running around with a full chest of medals...

I think all the 'time' ones should be changed so you have to do something skilful instead...
 
Well, the timed ones do require something like 40 team points, which s a fair amount, and not something i get very often.
 
What sort of casual players care about medals?

Hell what sort of 'pro' bf2 player cares about stats?

It's not that, it's the fun of getting the medals, as Stellios said 40 points in a round is hard so it's fun to aim for that.
 
Liberty.
I got my Golden scimitar last week and all my medals under the old system.
Now they devalue them by giving them for virtually nothing.
 
tbh, i gave up on the medals a long time ago as it was seemingly impossible to get them unless you gaffer taped yourself to your chair and played the game aroundthe clock like a mad man. i surprised myself though the other day, got 2 awards in 2 rounds and didnt even try

/edit, when does this happen anyways, is it with 1.3?
