I just want to know if anyone else has had problems getting any ribbons in SF yet?  I'm positive I met the requirements for both the Heli ribbon and the Armored ribbon.  Had plenty of time in each and had more than enough kills, and yet no ribbon?  Also, whats the deal with the Air ribbon?  There's no planes!  And while I'm on a roll, I don't know what the deal is with the "grenade" badge and the "Night Vision" badge.  I can confirm to all the veteran requirements as far as the kits go, but only have the basic tactical weapon, zip line, and grapnell hook.

well all i can say is i hope you met the reqs in the same round for the ribbons and as far as grenade and nightvision badge they do not exist.

No, I didn't do both ribbons in the same round.  Tried for the Heli ribbon on the Iron Gator map, and the Armor on Devil's Perch.  I've checked everywhere and the reqs seem to match.  I know for fact I met the requirements, but still no ribbon.

sorry i should have worded that better, i ment reqs for each individual ribbon ie:22kills and 20 mins or whatever it is needs to be in same round.
but it sound like you did that so im not sure whats up?

I got my hele ribbon on the iron gator map the other day so I'm positive that its working, and i think perhaps its just the amount of time that you have to be in it in the round that your missing.  20 minutes is a long time to stay airborne ;-)

I got my armored transport badge yesterday on Ghosttown.

But as I said before in different threads it seems like the award system in SF servers is pretty messed up as I met the requirements for several badges multiple times but didn´t get the awards.

Armored Transport Badge?  You mean Armored Service Ribbon...  As far as the badges go, I haven't had any problems with obtaining those.  Just the Ribbons.  Also, from my prior ribbons, the time requirement wasn't a consecutive thing.  As long as you accumulated so much time throught that round and had enough kills you were awarded the ribbon.  Has it changed now?  The time requirement is consecutive, meaning once you hop in you have to be in it the entire time in one shot?

I think all of the stat sites out there have based their medal requirements on the medal_data.py file in the game directory (UBAR has as well I believe).  Maybe this is just a programming structure that I'm unfamiliar with, but I wouldn't put too much faith in that file.  It doesn't look all that professional in my eyes.  I would assume EA's medals are awarded on server-side code that could very well be different.

Frankly, I wouldn't worry too much about all this stuff until you hear something official from EA.  This should be addressed now that they are back from the holiday weekend.

Actually, if I remember right, its the "Armored Transport Specialist Ribbon" or whatever.  The name on BF2S is incorrect, according to the one I actually received...unless I got a new one or something which I doubt 8P.  Anyway, Ive gotten all 3 of the ones you're ABLE to get however - my complaint is for some reason, my Crew Service Ribbon didnt appear in my BF2S ribbon list, yet it appears at the top where it shows what ribbons/medals/badges and such I have received and what date.  When I try to update at the other BF2 Stat page, it shows 3 Red x's where the new ribbons should be, so I know the server knows I got it...I'm just assuming the BFHQ is bugged as far as stats are, along with BF2S...

Has anyone gotten the SF Army service ribbons yet? I have the time and have played the maps. They just do not show up in BFHQ or the game. I have not had any problems with badges or other ribbons.
