Getting my star isn't worth the time.

Well finally made 180K points. However, you need EXPERT ground defense, air defense, armor, helo, aviator, Etc.

Thats all well and good but never going to happen. I am not willing to spend the next hundred hours in a tow to get expert ground defense. Spend forever running around in an AA on Ghost town to get expert or sit in a stinger forever either.

Almost have all the expert badges for the kits, just need a little more time in the less used ones like Engineer, Sniper, and medic. Which is great I can get to the two star level or "Luetenant General" with ease if I EVER GET THE FIRST ONE.

Just proves my point, EA dev's are idiots. Want your rank, have to sit the game out in useless crap. Well, not useless you just have to sit there and hope something drives or flies by and hope to god the snipers don't see you.

I loved this game before the patches, Now its crap. Who would have thought of Smart Claymores and mines. Neeto, can I get the rights to that and sell it to the military. IDIOTS THE LOT OF YA. (EA that is) Claymores rule the game now which is retarded at best. I think they have a twelve year old running this crap and trying to figure things out, better yet not thinking at all.

I could understand smart mines ... perhaps, if vehicles had IFF systems.

Yes, I agree that the claymore can be very frustrating to deal with (though I must admit I use them frequently as part of flag defense). If smart claymores were eliminated, however, the explosives badges would be near impossible to get ... unless (and here's the most logical solution), grenades counted toward explosive badges.

I'm not flaming you, at first I thought, "hey, that's not a bad idea"...but then...

My God...no freaking way!!!! Like the grenade spamming on Karkand isn't bad enough as it is!!! I know that they expert explosive is difficult (got mine before the patch ), but please be kind to the game...everyone would be carrying a PKM and have unlimited grenades.

*edit*...except for the 50 medics!

This is where people try to find the loopholes like renting a server and sitting idle in those emplacements for 100's of hours. Kinda kills the fun of it.

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

I've had all my gold kits for like 400 hours now. I've been horsing around trying to get repair points, sit in AA and command, stuff I normally wouldn't do but hey I like the pretty medals. I won't be getting a star anytime if they dont fix some of the requirements. I alawys found it stupid the requirements for brig general are harder then major general's.

then again that's why when people do make it to be a general, they dont usually make brig or major, they go straight to LT... because the amount of time you gotta put in you are going to have your point requirements and a whole lot more.

claymores have only increased the importance of team work and squad co-operation, which unfortunately seems to be less common than it was a few months ago.

Darky: Hi..; +71|7037|Here.

I do agree with needing certain badges, just not all of them. Some of us do actually find spending a map driving around in tank, or flying around (provided you can actually get in a jet) well.. boring.

Expert in the classes yes (ie. expert med, support, assault, AT and sniper) just not the rest.

Heard some news they they are (maybe, not 100% sure) gonna change it to the Veteran badges of those who you now need for the General rank.

this is the topic about it : http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=23268

*NOTE those players are testers so they dont have the same scores/points/ranks anymore !

but i've seen them when they were a General with only vet badges (not the Expert you now need)
