Lag on Awards?

Question #1
Ok so about 40 minutes ago we got finished playing a round of Gibralter where I went 55ish and 7ish.. out of those 55 points only about 9 of them were kills. During the round I got one pin for revives so I'm to assume that the other 30+ points were my 'healing' points as I was a medic. My question is, If I had the 60hrs and 400heals 'standard' met... and I got the 15 heals in a round, why wasnt I awarded the Gold Medic Badge?

Question #2
Directly after the gibralter round in question #1 we went to the next map in the rotation where I proceded to go 23 and 4... all 23 of those kills being from a Tank (armor, all the same kind from our base). I had reached 20 kills with about 50 tickets left for the other team...and got the remaining 3 kills between that point and the end. My question is if I got 20 kills in a round with armor...and was in the armor for 20 minutes why wasnt I awarded the Armor ribbon?

Is there mabye some type of lag? I know ive heard of people getting medals way after the fact but was I was wondering if it was true.

I've heard a lot of people receiving medals a day after they were supposed to get them. Wait it out and/or keep playing, you'll get it eventually.

Answer #1
30 points from healing would be so damn impressive. You'd be a god among medics. Kidding aside, I would say that most of your points came from squad member/leader bonuses doubling your scores.

Answer #2
Ignoring any other possible explanation like award lag and assuming you had 20 minutes armor time in the round, I would guess that you didn't quite have 23 kills with the armor that round in the literal sense and that some of those accounted for kill assists.

Answer #?
Last answer would be that if you had the Private glitch where you log into the server and it shows you as a Private in the team list then that will affect your awards because any criteria you've met won't exist.

Ya, i was supposed to get promoted to my next rank like 300+ points ago... Sigh.

BTW, he spells it L-A-G-G-Y

:P

Yeah, today I was 100 point past a rank up and I had to leave TTP go to another server and earn points before it would give me my rank up.

Its pretty common. Just have some patience and it will show up... I always thinks its funny now that I'm a brig rank I somehow get medals again that I received many months ago. I even get points for it... kinda strange. But I'll take what I can get. Most points in a round was thanks to this glitch getting over 3000. Then again I just kick ass like that. :10

So yesterday, I was all cuddled up on my couch with some Team Fortress 2, & I get this invite from a guy I've never played with before. So I'm like "ok..." & join his game.
This is on Xbox, remember that.
So we're playing & we're on the same team & suddenly I lose the ability to move [I can turn my camera, but I can't walk] & next thing I know, guess who pops up next to me?:

& he just keeps appearing until the whole bottom part of 2Fort is filled with G-Mans.
I wanna call hacks, but I don't know. I've had something like this happen to me before, only with the gravity of the game [You can imagine how surprised I was when I double-jumped & didn't land]. Has this happened to anyone else?.
