Ok so lets say I have over 50 knife kills, but no Basic Knife Badge. If I get the 7 kills in one round, will I recieve the Basic badge, or the veteran badge? This is important for my next rank advancement beacuse if I get veteran and not basic, then I will not be able to get Sergent First Class.

First you will get the Basic and then right after it should give you the Veteran.

whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????

at least that confuses me. If you get vetern it counts as having the basic too...

First Sergeant Requirements:

Rank: Gunnery Sergeant
Score: 20,000
Awards: Basic Knife Combat Badge, Basic Pistol Combat Badge, Basic Assault Combat Badge, Basic Anti-tank Combat Badge, Basic Sniper Combat Badge, Basic Spec Ops Combat Badge, Basic Support Combat Badge, Basic Engineer Combat Badge, Basic Medic Combat Badge

That doesnt mean they can't be vet. Its a MINIMUM of basic.

as long as you have 50 knife kills before the round starts you should get both basic and vet knife at the same time. (when you hit 7 kills IAR)

just cause you have the vet badge doesn't mean you don't have the basic badge....

so having a vet badge means you also have the basic....

when you earn two badges in the same round it records the vet one only, not the basic. thats why so many people were angry about not ranking up to the next level. i think its fixed tough.. not sure. used to be like that

Dude you're wrong, don't argue with him...
last versions it was a problem... if you got basic and vet in one round it would record only vet, do a search on the forum if those topics aren't delete you'll see hundreds of people complaining about it. It's probably fixed now but never checked, so before you start saying somebody is wrong do a search.

Well Thanks guys, but it shouldn't be a problem now. I earned my knife badge today on the first try, so I don't even need to worry about this. I knew it was a problem before and I just wanted to know if it had been fixed yet.

You are making the point ot the bug without even noticing.
You are Master Sergeant, but had you gotten the basic knife badge before vet knife, you would have been First Sergeant.

Wow, someone who wasn't around at the time of patch 1.03, I guess.  There were a lot of people who got promoted to Master Sergeant at the time, despite having got all the badges.  The main reason was people had got the veteran knife badge (at the same time as basic) and BFHQ only saw the veteran and decided they didn't have the right qualifications for First Sergeant.

Apparently it's may be fixed now but the legacy of the fuck-up remains.
