I'm ribbon hunting to help with the rank. I'm frankly tired of these two... how on earth I'm supposed to get a 40 in teamwork is beyond me.

I've tried many different maps, even low-pop ones in an attempt to just cap endlessly. Closest I've got was a 29 on a high-intensity Camp G. match where I ran around the whole time with my medkit out, reviving along the way.

Any tips?

Go in a squad where there a lot of people going to shoot rockets. Make sure you are support. You can get so many if you make sure people are getting ammo all the time. I think I managed 55 this way.

Camp Gibraltar is one of the best maps for this - especially the usual Toll Station stand-off. Also, pick up kits off the ground and throw down the med/ammo hubs. Pick up assault kits and revive people, etc.

Not only will it get you the ribbons, it actually does, you know... help the team.

I still don't have the 55 teamwork score. I think I have hit 54 twice.

Use the support kit or the APC.

Also make sure if you have a ribbon in mind on our server that your still helping your squad and teamwork is your primary goal and not the prize.

The good thing about these teamwork ribbons is that they promote even the lowliest statpadder to help out the team (even if it's only until he/she earns the ribbon). ;P

As an aside, the "supporting member" tab should tell you that teamwork is always my priority.

If you can fly, run a transport squad as support having your squad drop motion mines. The Toll Station standoff also works really well.

I have gone past 55 teamwork score multiple times leading squads on our server without getting the ribbon. From the profiles I've looked at, very few players even have the ribbon. I think your time could be better spent on another ribbon or badge.
Have you tried the engineer or support badges? They are fairly easy to obtain and give a good point denomination.

what kind of points does EMP grenading give you. Not that i am implying spamming if you get teamwork points, but if it does, bring them along as a support. Assuming they are teamwork points.

Edit: I just checked a screenshot, EMP nading someone does give you teamwork points, so use them, but dont spam a lot. (<<pun>>) Seriously, dont spam, its statpadding, but also a very usefull way to rack up points in CampG

To be honest I think the TG server is both the easiest and hardest place to hit the 55 teamwork point benchmark or higher. Though I think teamwork points are a somewhat iffy thing to work for because you get so many partial points in the chaos under heavy fire I never really kept track of things.

Leading a squad will reward you with "Squad Leader Success Points" if your squad members complete a set objective or 'assist' each other under an objective marker. These are Teamwork points and the easiest to get if you have a good squad following orders (dur...its TG).

Following squad objectives set by the squad leader will net you squad points. You have to have a squad leader setting orders in game though, and not just over VOIP.

Healing/Defibbing/Repairing/Resupplying squad mates will net you heal/revive/repair/resupply points and squad points. However you are locked out at 1 point per player every X minutes (I don't think anyone ever cared to check the statpadding limitations and if I'm mistaken please correct me). You get one squad teamwork point for the squad ranks at the end and you get 1 of the action points toward badges and ribbons, but you only get 1 point total to your score. Yes, 1+1= 1 in BF2142.

Healing/Defibbing/Repairing/Resuppling team mates not in your squad will only net you the action points, but since you're already limited to 1 point per player to your score the end result is the same as helping a squad member. I'm not sure if the statpadder cooldown is longer or shorter though.

Kill assists will net you teamwork points if you are not already on the statpadder cooldown with the person who gets the kill point. So if you revive someone and get a kill assist with them immeadiately afterwards you will only get 1 point towards your score from the revive and the kill assist is ignored due to the cooldown. It'll still show up on your global score as a kill assist (hence the +teamwork kill assist message) but your round score will not change.

EMP hits will also net you teamwork points, however they are partial points per person/vehicle/target hit with a short cooldown so if you EMP lock someone you could potentially net a lot of points. This, however, may only be fully utilized in Northerstrike if you EMP lock a full Goliath (5 people + the vehicle + the repair blocks = crap load of emp points). A fully loaded APC may give you a similar point affect (6 people + vehicle) but the people will just pile out and hunt you down making EMP locking a short term affair.

Destroying strategic objectives will also net you teamwork points on a slightly long cooldown per objective type. Blowing up the sat track, orbital strike, emp, and UAV commander assets will give you a point, but you're not going to get a point again for keeping them down after they are repaired unless you wait a while. Oddly enough destoying a repair block on the Goliath or a console on a titan will also give you a strategic point, but only for the first block/console destroyed and no additional points until the statpadding cooldown has passed. On the flip side, repairing an asset will give you the repair point, but I've already covered that.

A titan attack/titan defense point earned in titan play counts as a partial teamwork point, though I've never really sat down and tallied up how they work. Its a different take on the kill assist with the difference being that you aren't helping one person make the kill, but you are helping the team objective of destroying/defending the titan.

Commander points are also teamwork points with Commander Assist points being partial points and Orbital Strike kills as full points per kill. Good luck getting 55 points as commander though since you need a LOT of assist points to get 1 point and the score is factored for rewards before the round x2 modifier for winning at the end so you need to get at least a 110 commander score after winning the round. The point process for the CO is discussed elsewhere on the forums.

Driver assist and driver skill points are also teamwork points, but I'm stumped at how to actively get those since I'm more of a ground pounder than an armor jockey. The most notable, and previously abused, instances of such points are titan airdrops from the transport and swapping seat with someone without leaving the vehicle. I've also gotten points for doing fast action pickups with the FAV by driving past someone at full speed and them jumping on as I zip by. The drive kill assists scores, however, work on the same system that kill assists do.

I think that's everything, but I may have missed one or two.

BTW, doing team damage will net you -1 teamwork per person hit and -3 per person killed so you could get -4 points per person if you aren't careful (-1 for damaging first, and -3 for the kill if you don't stop). Be careful about that if you're throwing grenades and rockets into hot spots with CQC going on. I'm pretty sure EMPing a friendly nets you negitive EMP points which are still partial points, but I never really tried EMPing locking a friendly armor for obvious reasons.

TG is the easiest place to get teamwork points because if you are a halfway decent squad leader you will get decent squad members a majority of the time which means squad leader success points. Under a defense/attack order your squad can rack up some serious teamwork points just by doing general squad stuff. TG is also the hardest place to get teamwork points because everyone, their best friend, and their best friend's grandmother is expected to be doing all the things listed above. Everyone is reviving, healing, supplying, repairing, and killing which means people will constantly be in the statpadders cooldown giving no points for additional aid. Case it point, things like this are just all too common.

The hardest kit to get points for would be the recon kit. The easiest would be the assault/medic and support/supplywhore play styles. Theoretically a support squad leader has the greatest point potential with EMP, resupplies, and squad leader success points. Next would be the assault medic squad leader with heals, revives, and SLSP. At the bottom would be the recon sniper for obvious reasons.

If you're going for teamwork points then its crucial that you start taking a 'teamwork' mindset instead of a 'squadwork' mindset. It is very likely that you will always be on the statpadded cooldown with your squadmates since you get points with them though normal activity. Its the unfortunate sob in another squad that you revive/heal/repair/resupply that will increase your point potential because if its just a chance assist you probably are not on the cooldown with them.

I Know its lame, but go Titan, and Defend the titan. Every Titan D kill is a teamwork point. Likewise you can assault the titan as well, although in my experience, its easier to die attacking those damn things.

chafed makes a good point. another titan tactic is to go engineer at the beginning of the round and constantly repair the titan guns once they start getting attacked. later on, switch to assault/support and start in on titan defense.
