Hey, i notice on my stats page that it says i have attained the required time for the ribbons in SF (insurgent, rebels etc.) But they have not appeared in my BFHQ and arent enabled on my stats page, anyone got the same problem or heard of this before? Im sorry if this has been said already but it is four am and im way to half-dead to search anything. But if you could help me that would be great. Thanks.

I have the same thing - I have well over 5 hours in just about all of them and none of the ribbons have showed up. I just posted the same thing and then found your post - I haven't had any replies yet but can't wait to find out!!!

There's a billion threads with people *thinking* why it is, but NONE of them are correct.

Answer is no one really knows.

This guy should have the MEC SF ribbon if the above is right.  He doesn't.

Chuy has the full database set of info, he can easily run a SQL query to get the lowest common denominator for us to determine.  He hasn't done this yet. Surely there are enough people with the badge now to get this info right?

If Chuy doesn't want to do it, Chuy can give me the raw dump and i'll do it, I love sifting through data.

Sure he has a DB full of data. But if there is an IAR requirement, he won't find it there.

Very true. I can't fathom a IAR requirement for a service ribbon though. I guess this is where people can help, by identifying their combat and team score from the game they noticed they received it.

It's very possible this is a futile exercise, as the requirements, like the MEC and Chinese ribbon, may completely change as per the next patch just around the corner.  I recall nearly everyone were just 'given' the 2 ribbons...

he doesnt have a db full of data. he is just translating what EA has on their massive data storage units into a pretty web page. he HAS a db but its for the website bfs2s

P.S. there is no IAR requirement for the SF ribbons just time and its approx 50hrs in THEATRE and 25hrs as a country. THAT IS NOT WRITTEN IN STONE SO DONT QUOTE ME>

hehe I'm not doing this on purpose man... just gotta think about it from all angles. It's no so easy being Chuy!

The problem with the community helping is that these ribbons aren't announced in-game. They just show up! By the time someone realizes they have it, their memory of what happened may be skewed.

I was almost sure it was 50h in theater but i used to jsut go by what my stats page says.

And also, the SF medals do not require 4,500h of playtime, its more like only 250, its almost identical to the ones for reg bf2.

Maybe if they ever release the patch.....the SF Ribbons problem will disappear.  But then again I am sure that there will be a new problem.

Looking at a friend of mine stats,  It appears the the service ribbons are awarded at 50 hrs in the theater.  He just received the SPETZNAS service ribbon and has 50:05:??.  Based on that I would say that the 5 hrs is 50 hrs.

It is some combination of Theatre time (everyone is pretty sure its 50 hours) AND X Hours as an Army. The amounts MAY differ for each ARMY. i.e. only 25 for SEALS 30 and 35 for others. i.e. I have 50 in Insurgent THEATRE and no ribbon because I don't have enough Insurgent time.

So you couldnt for example get the MECSF ribbon by only playing SEALS and racking up 50 hours on Insurgent theatre with 0 hours as MECSF.
