It shows the 3 people rec'd the Airborne Award (that was removed from stats-sections of web sites) and only a couple that have received the Euro Award.

Are they achievable?

Even though EA will tell you that they are achieveable (I mailed them myself and all I got was bullshit "politician answers") - they are not.

1) You cannot get planes in SF, assuming you are referring to that one, - so how can you get it?

2) So many people have the req's for the EU ribbon...nobody has it. Ive seen one guy whos played EF for 400 hours alone...he doesnt have it.


The only people with those ribbons, I believe, are BF2 test accounts

Thanks for the replies.  Like Euro Force, but there are only certain times that there are filled servers and KNOW that EA coders touch men more than they touch women.

That obviously is causing poor insight.

Remeber that there were going to be more maps in SF. Maybe one of them had a jet.

How do you know this and is this with a new patch?

No. And I read it on another thread.

It is such a simple way for EA to keep players in, knock down $9.99 x sales and keep people going.

Expansion packs are just great.  That is what kept me going with Rainbow Six and Command and Conquer.

They should fix it with the 1.4 Patch so it should be possible to get it.
The Airborn Specialist Ribbon should be a "20 sec in parachute" thing...like in basic Bf2...so no plane whoring.
WE WANT OUR RIBBONS !

I like the ribbons and awards almost as much as good game playing.  I also, from a marketing and a "keep people playing until expansion packs" perspective, understand why they take so frikin' long to get.

Getting the EF medal should instantly give you 20,000 points. That would make everyone go nuts over EF.

lol! Now that would be an incentive to buy it and thats that - just like it is now, theyd never play it

It really needs more maps, a city map in particular and adjustments to the "non EU weaponry" (as we discuss all the time hellogoodsir!) to make it popular.

Euro could totally be better only if they condense the maps.  I mentioned in another post the benefit of the one map that has the gas tanks burning and the battles that happen in that area since the main EU base comes through that Valley and the main MEC base in there too.  Cool stuff, realistic and far as huge battles happening BUT it takes too long to get units there.

A Karkland-type with different EU groups would be great.  Just take Karkland, layer in some European cities and add the units, then that could be cool.

I downloaded that single player 64 mod (you can add bots up to 200+/-) for standard maps and they added choppers and a few more pieces of armor.  When you get that map going with choppers and literally 100 guys running at you plus your team, that is way cool.  PC speed needs to be there but way cool!
