Of course I allready have it and just like most of the BF2 players I only messed around a little bit when it came out. (http://bf2s.com/player/46176231/)
Now I just want to get the ribbon but I don't want to spend this additional 16 hrs with ruining my lousy stats just because I don't know the maps.
Um, don't want to be rude, but everyone who currently has the North American ribbon most likely did just that. If you really don't want to damage those stats, create a new account and play with that or , ( GASP! ), play on a non-ranked server to learn. Problem solved, don't you think?
Of course you're right but I don't really want to play AF, I only want to add this ribbon to the collection. Since I don't like the maps at all (just my mind!) I try to avoid every "unnecessary" minute there.
It would be cool to make a database for the wiki. Maybe some people should team up and get that working. Hell, I'm going to go post in the chatter section about that.
