^^^^ I always strive for the gold medal every round I play. Not only am I always challenging myself but making myself a better player by striving for the best in online gaming.

I know alot of people can careless about gold medals, however it does tell you how good you are!! Another reason alot of people dont care is cause they are just chillin and having a good time in which I do from time to time.

I just want to hear the community opinion on this topic!!

I currently have 1575 on SSgt_Diaz account and 1909 on my Unreal_Insanity account!!

With the same mentality as you, Unreal.....i always strive to get gold medal for every freaking roun i play....Currently under 870 hrs, i got 1023 gold....hopefully i can beat u on that....Though i know its damn diffcult to be even near your medals, but its worth a try....I dun play karkand much but warlord instead. I do admit whenever i play karkand, i find it easier than any other maps i played.
But Unreal_insanity, u r one of the best players around here and i hope i have a chance to learn from you.

Its awesome to get that first one!! I remember my first gold medal. It took me like 3 weeks!! It was infested with players when the game first came out and was very competitive to get one. But I stayed true to the game and became better and better!!!

I promise you that you will get there as well!!

You will probably pass my first account, but on my second its very difficult to do. I get gold in almost every round I play now. If you want to play with me, add me to your xfire and join me. I own my 24/7 Dragon Valley server as well, if you like Airmaps.

Having alot of gold medals doesn't exactly measure skill dude, it measures whoever can revive whore the most

For the record, i have 308 gold

Getting a star in general to me is awsome. Just being up there in the top 3 makes me feel like I play like a pro. I only have 5 gold stars but I have 19 silvers and I think that's good for only less than 300 hours.

lol. Hey NiMee, your PID = someone else's username. When we try to look at your stats, some guy from the US who's name is 94510135 comes up instead.

i think a better way to look at it is your gpr, golds per round to measure your whoreage/skill meter better, 0.26 per round for 1158 on my main and 89 for 0.48 on my second account. it also factors in half round etc as well tho. but you could have 4000 hours more than the next guy and only 15 more golds. 0.79 total medals per round on my second :-), best way that i think when you start out to know if your going to be any good and compete with the best in infantry is if even when you sucked your accuracy has remained around 23-30%, i have noticed people with ratings around 12-22 really never got any better at the game, sure they knew the maps better etc but never got that knack for winning most head on firefights because of lack of reflexes.

I try and get a good score. I feel satisfied with anything 50+. Gold is always good, but I dont see it as a necessity.

Lol I try for gold. It's hard against some of the other TCS guys though x_x. Karkand is always a guaranteed gold for me though....

I have 57. Most of them are from Commanding.

Gold stars are like any other award or stat. They are what YOU want them to be.

Does having 57 make me better than someone that has 25 but rarely commands? LOL, I don't think so.

I'd like to say I try my best every round and most times I do, but ditractions arise.

You know how many times I've been killed while lighting or putting out a cigarette? Plus now being an Admin there are other things going on I've got to watch.

I try and do well every round but do I "go for the Gold" everytime I walk onto the battlefield? No.

I have about 190 hrs and have 22bronze, 18silver and 12gold.
not that much, but i really don`t care for the Medic and support kits. I like fighting in the front line. So i`m mostly engineer - not he most points racking kit you can play, but where would your team be without one

Every time I play BF2, the Commander gets the gold star, the top vehicle-ho gets the sliver and I end up with the bronze star.
I focus more on my accuracy and KDR, then going for the gold. Every once in a while it pays off and I get the gold.

LoL @ Karkand Whores...

Anyway...

Many things increase and decrease your change of getting gold, no matter how good you are.

Example:

Where you Play
When you Play
Team Balance
What you play as
&
Who you are Playing against.

So for you Unreal_Insanity...

I assume you always play on the same server or few servers. You play alot of Karkand, so your only competeing against Medics and Maybe some Lucky Armor Whores.

You also have a very very high Win Ratio, Meaning your rarely on the Stink team.

(Example of Stink Team vs. Winning Team, Wake Island, Top China Player - 168 Points, Top USMC Player - 35 Points)

For me, my playstyle alot of the time prevents me from getting the Gold, I play smart in BF2 so I get plenty of kills and try not to die alot. But as a result I have a Average SPM, but actually not half bad considering the hours in all Maps. So where I might get 4th or 5th Overal, with a 3:1 Ratio.

The Dude whos got 23 Kills and 18 Deaths takes the Gold, but we end up losing the round by 7 Tickets or less... Yeah great job buddy!

Anyway... You can all ask youself why you play this game, My answer to that question is:

"To Try and Win Every Round and Use my Skills as A Player to Best Improve the Teams Chances For Victory"

P.S. I have plenty enough Gold Stars to make my statements Valid
