BF2142 Awards - Tips and Tricks.

[DuVeL]

There's a good thread on the EA-forums about all of them here;

Also if anyone needs help with a Medal/Ribbon/Badge we might be able to help eachother out (not ment in the statpadding way).
I mean by teaming up on a Public Server and make a -=[dMw]=-Squad.
 
Remember, Teamplay is the way to get fast points in BF2142 and makes you rank faster, thus faster unlocking.
Hopefully we can make a -=[dMw]=-Squad on a ranked publicserver somewhere...
 
I know Kakehund needs;
-30 Titan Attack Score for the Titan Combat Excellence Badge (30 kills on the enemy Titan);
-IOR 3 Titan Consoles Destroyed and IOR 1 Titan Core Destroyed for Titan Destruction Achievement Badge.
 
Especially the last 1 is extremely difficult and I reckon only a decent squad will be able to achieve this (as in him being sniper and taking the consoles down with RDX-DemoPaks having next to him 1 supportguy and preferbly 2 medics). Maybe on a 16 player Titanmap this would be good...
 
Thoughts/Suggestions/Questions???

I'm not certain about all the medals/badges e.t.c currently. Trying to concentrate quite hard on climbing through the ranks and unlocking the new Assault Kit rifles. The default for both the EU and PAC forces really aren't that effective. :sad:

Recently unlocked theHerzog AR-Shotgun, brought me a number of kills, shame such a small clip though. But to keep on topic, I was looking at a few of the pins you can claim and saw the the Emergency Rescue Pin, needs 8 revives. However I have 24, and have not received it?

But apart from this these are the awards I should try and aim for:

• Bronze Star
• Engineer Badge [Bronze]
• Distinguished Combat Efficiency Pin

Although there are a few of the "easy" ones, I probably shouldn't keep changing from one to the other.

If you go to your bf2142stats from your sig and then go to awards you can see what you need for a certain badge (just hover over it).
If it says infront of it; IOR then it means InOneRound.
So 8 revives in 1 round, not in total. The revive pin is sometimes pretty slow to show up when you have 8 revives IOR though.
 
EDIT; if you are a SquadLeader you can get points faster. I'm probably playing again this Sunday so if you're interested we can join a server with you as SL, me as a soldier.

I thaught you got more poins as squadmember too. Seen the inside order radius msg often. Tho beeing an active SL can get you fealdupgrades fast.
you get plenty of points later on for the badges and ribbons so putting in some time with eatch kitt might be good thing.

Ribbons;
I'm currently trying to get the most difficult one, the War College Ribbon.
Requirments;
-IOR 45 Commander Score;
-60:00 Commander Hours;
-2:1 Win:Loss Ratio.

Stupid EA...
Yesterday I finally received the War College Ribbon.
Then 1 minute later BF2142 shut itself down and went to desktop.
I tryed getting on that server again but it didn't show up anymore.:sad:
Pffff. Going to look again for a decent Titanserver and hopefully get a Squad that listens to orders.
Yesterday I had 1 Squad that was defending our Titan really well but the SL of that squad didn't accept orders. The bloke even had VoiceComms and I told him that if he'd accept the orders he'd get more points. He was like; Yes but my Squad is allready defending it. Me; yes but you're still not accepting the order itself...:sideways:

DuVel;

Managed to get my Silver Master CPL today, and the Gold should be got in a few hours.  I also tried my hand at commanding on a server today and got these awards through it:

• Commander Excellence Badge [Bronze]
  
• 2 x Combat Efficiency Pin
  
• 1 x Emergency Rescue Pin

We were actually winning this round I was acting as Commander, teamwork and all were quite good. It was a bit difficult with only 10 players per side. Did have a few problems though, near the end of the map I believe our ticket was 112 and the enemies was 45. My screen froze and I got a pop-up saying that I had been kicked from the server by an admin/voted out. I was a bit annoyed at that, [not sure why i was kicked as I didn't do anything wrong]. As I was getting a pretty high score in that round, bit **** off that I couldn't be allowed the rite to finish it. :sad:

Anyway, heres an Idea for the next few unlocks that I really need if anyone has any tips in order to get them:

Pins:

• Distinguished Combat Efficiency Pin
  
• Explosive Efficiency Pin - any tips on particular places to plant them? I have tried with little success.
  
  
• Wheels of hazard Pin - i'm sure you can help me with this one DuVel.:devil:

Medals:

• Bronze Star
  
• Medic Excellence Badge - Shouldn't I already have this If I have the Emergency Rescue Pin?
  

Ribbons:

• Infantry Officer Ribbon

I really need to unlock the Voss L-AR too, I find this to be the most accurate assault weapon. I have the Baur H-AR, but It's too inaccurate for my liking. I.e. recoil on it.

Commander is pretty easy to do. Just don't forget to set teams at targets and spot around for them. Also listen for UAV-requests and suppliedrops.
Let me know if you want a rundown on what to do as commander.
 
For the rest, PublicServers are weird, some people don't like good players so they put up vote-kicks. Usually they don't work though...
 
The Pins you are talking about don't get you unlocks btw! You can only select an unlock if you rank up.
Best places to plant AntiPersonelMines = around corners, usually on titans you can use them good, otherwise on flags and so.
If you check the site I gave you the link from, hover over a medal and you can see the exact requirments.
 
I got the WarCollegeRibbon again today. It was pretty difficult though.
Now hunting down the CombatCommanderRibbon and Infantry Combat of Merit Medal. I also got my Recon service Badge today so I have gold Badges for all 4 kits now. :flirty:
The hunt for online medals continues....
