BF2S Forums What's your strategy on awards?

Now don't laugh . I play purely for fun, I switch kits to suit the role or what the team needs most. If it happens that I get the odd award for 'time served' or 'job done', I'm more than happy.... (You only need to look at my hours played to see that.). I don't know how many hours you've played, but awards will come to you eventually, quicker if you play the appropriate kit v time.

I have a whole string of basic badges... I would like to see them turn silver or gold, but I'm not going to make it my goal in life... eventually I'll get them, but like I said earlier, I play for fun and play the role we need at the time

I got every single badge by 180 hrs, and every last kit has been silver for ages since all it takes is 15 hours each.  As long as you don't whore one kit the entire time you play it isn't extremely difficult.  It is the ordinance badge and stuff that is difficult sometimes.

The ribbons I haven't found to be very difficult except the armour...you really have to find a low player server on a high player map to be able to get them.  I can't tell you how many rounds I've had over 19 armour kills only for the round to end after 15 minutes...it's hard.

Just play as normal and keep checking your awards section on your bf2s page pretty often, If you see one that you are close to getting/likely to get  then go for it.
Dont make your game a chore though, just enjoy it.

I see a lot of people who have much,much more points than me,yet they only have basic awards and only the 2 "time in service" ribbons.

Do you always play your favorite role or do you look at your stats and choose your class depending on their timestats?
I need 5 hours for my supplyguy now so I can get the veteran badges for this class,and I've only played the anti-tank-guy for 3 and a half hours,so this is going to be a real pain in the ass...

So,do you just play and see what you get or do you plan ahead towards your awards?

I generally just focus on one kit to veteran-ize. Otherwise I just play the matches normally and not worry about it. If the oppurunity to get a ribbon/badge arises though I'll take it.

I just have a few more hours til Expert Sniper, then I can get my sharpshooter.  I'll probably just play medic/spec ops only now.
