My plan is to save it for the last award I ever get, just before I move on to the next addicting game.

I think it's bullshit such a prestigious medal basically signifies "you suck" in this game

i tried for mine, but it was because i saw the requirements for it and thought to myself "that will be easy to get" lol.  Ive had it for a pretty long time, i was probably a LCPL, if that, when i got it.  I only tried because i want to get all the medals at some point.  Right now im more concerned about getting 500 Hours in....still got a little over 200 to go

It was funny because at the time I earned this, I never worked so hard for a Medal in my life. Im to good to ever get that by accident, even when I first got the game I wasn't bad enough to get it. It wook alot of Transport to Water trips to earn that. If I never did that I still would have that empty spot in my Award  pile.

i got mine within the first few hours of me playing BF2. a 24/7 Wake server with extremely seasoned pilots and base rape allowed is not a place to start your career. i was very excited when i got it until i looked it up and found out that it's because i sucked.

Since when? Hit your suicide button then hit tab. I got my purple heart from suiciding. So killing yourself DOES count as a death.

yep naughty is absolutely right here.
I got mine sometime during my first week in BF2 on Karkand.
I played Medic (to get my basic medic badges) and got killed so many times it was unbelievable ^^.

you get it if your K/D ration is equal or worse than 1:4 with at least 5 kills ans 20 deaths.

[edit: so if you realy realy want one very badly.... go kill 5 people.... the just run head on into a crowd of enemies until you have 20 deaths ^^]

John Kerry's k/d ratio in Battlefield 2 must be horrendous.

I have the purple heart .. but that is the one medal I did not want ... not really a real "honor" to get ... basically you have a medal that says, "I got p0wned"

damn, I didn't think of that. Mine took me 2 rounds to get and involved driving into enemy spawns and having to start jumping around shooting at people with my pistol till they'd notice and kill me. You'd not believe how hard it can be to get shot when you want to be.

I personally think that this medal is a sign of courage.
Its a sign that although you have a shitty day, and you keep getting lags/deaths/phone calls/etc - YOU DONT QUIT TRYING.

Going "head to head" with the enemy until the very last second of the game.

This, naturally, applies to new comers to the game and not to players with 2 zillion points.. Those kind of players should know by now how to avoid being shot..

my 5 cents
