Just want to share some of my strats for whoring points for unlocks and epenis.
I usualy play titan mode, with assault or support kits. It helps to be mindful of any upcoming badges or ribbons that you might be getting. At 500 and 1000 a pop, these things speed teh process up alot.

This link shows you the point value for the assorted ribbons (and badges/pins on the side) You cant do anyting about the time requirements except playing alot, but at least you'll know whether being a squadleader or squadmember would be preferential.
As for regular point whoring, titan on 40-48 man servers is the best. Either on sidi powerplant or suez, or any other map where the points are close together. I LOVE destroying the titan's arty. Each gives you 1 point for its destruction, and a pin worth 20 points after you destroy 5 (its 5, not 4). You can do this 10 times for 2 pins and 10 points...50 points just for rawking the turrets (means you need someone on the titan whose repairing, not in cohoots, just someoen repairing to use them).
Defending and attacking the titan is serious bling in points. While attacking, hanging in the gantry above the cargohold is the best. Either with an MG or a Baur and snipe the defenders. Those titan attacker pins are worth 20 points a piece, as is the +1 to score for the titan attack. In addition to that, titan attacker and defender badges are worth 500 points, and only require 25 hours in total titan playing + a paltry 15 kills on a titan (easy if you're good)
Try to be a squad leader too. Ordering around your squad, and esp. to attack the titan, will lead to another 10-20 points after the round is over in squad leader bonus points when they kill someoen in your order radius.
Also, you can get pins for amassing points for using explosives, sniper rifles, or shotguns and getting 10+ kills with the weapon. I like the latter since the shotgun is a fairly nice weapon and will allow me to be on the offensive.
All told, its not hard to get 2x titan destrotor pins (for the guns on the outside), 1x titan attacker/defender pins, and a handful of combat pins for 5 and 10 run streaks, and at least 1 close combat pin for 10+ kills. That's 40 + 20 + 5 + 10 = 75 in pins (a good round mind you) + 10 for squad leader succes points + 50 in regular points (a modest round) = 135 points in just one round.
Granted, this is alot of running around. But if you want those unlocks, or to at least get to a point where you like what's available, you're going to have to grind.
