I got mine easely.

Just find a server with a 30 minutes + timer.

You'll have enough time to get your 5 kills and then die over and over.

Geting killed by the enemy, jumping off cliffs, crashing in things while in a vehicule all work.

The Suicide button won't count.

Also don't get 6 kills. It'll screw up your chances (had to retry it a 2nd time cause I got 6 kills)

When I was geting mine I ran into my own team's artilery.

Of course I did not punish the Commander.

He still went and started calling me an idiot.

Told him I was going for the medal and needed 20 deaths and that I did not punish it.

He said that was fine and all but that didn't mean I had to run trough his artilery. Hmm you don't get punish from it by so freaking what? lol

Yep that is all you need.

And again don't get 6 kills or your screwed. It's easier to get it on a server with a timer since you have no idea how long a round will last on a timer less server (most timer servers have a higher flag count as well)

You CAN get 6 deaths...as long as you die 21 times...I think as long as the diference between kills/deaths is 20 AND you have killed at least 5 and died at least 20

I am in shock that so many people are willing to get that medal!  Wow, that is one I will never attempt to get.  Why would anyone ever want to earn that medal, I just dont understand it.   Killing yourself also gives you negative points if you weren't aware.  I would also get EXTREMELY furious at someone who kept running into my arty.  I am not fond of getting negative points for someone else's ignorance.  Heck, I get pretty steamed up when someone jumps in front of my vehicle and gives me teamdamage point...and yes, I do enjoy the game very much, but sometimes, it can be a real pain to play with so many players on my team that are out to ruin my day.

I'm confused by what about the purple heart makes you people want to get it. I mean its the medal they give to the n00bs to make them feel better. I am proud to say i have none, and hope to never get one.

Trust me, I didn't want it once I found out what it was for.

First time I got one I thought, 'Wow! A purple heart! I must have just died and done something real cool and heroic like taking loads of enemy with me! Yeeeeeeeeeees!'.

Soon as I found out it meant that I'd been bent over the knee of the other team and spanked 'till I cried for my Mommy, I wasn't so chuffed.

But...I've got it now...and you haven't...so there!

I didn´t really ever tried to get a Purple Heart and I don´t even want one but whenever I have a bad day I either get 5 kills but only around 17 deaths or I get more than 20 deaths but don´t even manage to get the necessary kills.

I have a.. what's the word, ultimate fear of a purple heart? Yes heh I know its heroic, and I know really good medics that have more than one (grin) purple heart. But whenever I'm stuck on 5 kills, and have 10+ deaths, a HUGE banner that says 'Beware, Purple Heart ahead' just lights up in my head and I tell my commander I'm changing kit to sniper to provide support.

Talk about cowardice in the face of the enemy. Lol

Some of you guys have bad mathematical skills.

1:4 K/D ratio. That means 4 times as many deaths as you have kills. So...

5 kills = 20 deaths
6 kills = 24 deaths
7 kills = 28 deaths

etc. etc. etc.

What I did was get the 5 kills first, then just ran out in front of the enemy and get shot. The 20 kill streak will help you obtain the Legion of Merit Ribbon (although you only need an 8 streak)
