Not getting veteran knife badge after 50 kills

IETK · 08-25-2006, 01:02 PM

I did search before posting this new thread and I found some related but they are before the requirements were changed so I ask; I have 58 kills and the basic knife badge I manage to get my 50th kill yesterday and no drumroll or veteran badge was issued then I noticed that the account servers were down, I rejoin a couple of hours later and I received the Valorous unit ribbon with the drumrolls and message in game, after that I started knifing everything that moved to see if my veteran badge would register but no luck, went to a different server got a couple of knife kiills and nothing, I ask if anyone knows what happened there.
BTW while trying to get my basic knife badge I also got a purple heart.

Purple heart is not good, you get it for having a 1:4 Kill

eath ratio.
As for the knife badge, I don't know what to do, just wait some time and keep playing.

I'm still waiting for my basic "shock paddles" badge... I've got 18 kills with them

If I'm sneaking up on a sniper, I will always use the shock paddles because it is gaurunteed to kill and much cooler to see "JonFrey [shock paddles] Sniper"

tee hee

When I got my knife badges, all of them required an IAR (In a Round) amount of kills Basic=7, Veteran=10, Expert=18. It's cake to get those badges now...EA just keeps nerfing the awards, soon you'll sign up for your account and get all the badges, ribbons, and medals after the first kill.

I got my expert knife medal after 1.3 for some reason. I don't remember getting 18 IAR, but who knows.

Make sure your on a rank server and besides the IAR requirement, you should get it soon.

Can't tell you how many medics I've shot. They seem to come running up to you like they're your pal, trying to hug you and all. Kinda wierd, but I shoot 'em anyway - no matter how affectionate they seem to be. Don't need all that huggin' stuff to wrinkle my BDUs.

lol well I'm reasonably dodge at knifing- something really annoying happened lately though. - I was still going for the basic one (my KD ration is crapped because of attempting to get that damn knife badge) I got up to 6 kills and I was looking for my last - I found it (a guy parachuting) I went up to him, stabbed him, heard the stabbing sound - but then the screen froze....it was the end of the round!....oh for one more bloody milisecond - I would've had it!
