Can I leave the game on overnight connected to a ranked server? I have this crazy hour requirement on the medals. Any other tips for getting some ranks? As you know I'm a stats whore. PS. Just became a sergent last night and got my knife medal (played on a pistol and knife only server).
Nope you'll get Idle Kicked. Easiest way to get awards is play on a big server (map Size 64) With a low playercount (24 or 32 slots). Rounds last for hours, so it's wasy to get alot of kills. Alot of these are called High Points Servers. Be on Xfire tonight, and I'll show you some. Sommat else I found that helps, Know the map. Study the maps on a busy server, find the "Crossroads" where most battles happen, then hang out there. X
I added like 12 hrs yesterday camping as a sniper ... http://bf2s.com/player/44461662/ I just spawned in Wake on the carrier as a USMC and sat in a boat ...
dude, i climb up the tallest thing i can find, and snipe. i spent a half hour doing that lastnight, it was sooo funny watching people running in circles trying to find me. its also nice when its beside a flag point, cuz you can jump down when the coast is clear, lay some clays, and run back to your perch. people jump out of their vehicles quickly, so have nades on hand to toss down at them. then my fav thing to do, is watch the road for buggies, and try to shoot the driver.
i may break down and buy it and see how much i can log over the summer with no classes... could be a bit absurd
