Well, I was playing in a server that was 64 Player map size and only with 24 players. So I say to myself "When the next new round starts, I'm going to get my Veteran Explosives Ordinance Badge." So when the new round starts I decided to do it with suicide bombing buggys. So I strap 3 C4 on the front and one on each side then hop in. Well about 22 kils later and a negitive teamwork score of about 35 (I kept killing myself ) the other team has only about 13 tickets left and one flag. I say to myself, "I think that should be pleanty of time." So after strapping another buggy full with C4 I see they only have 6 tickets left. They are dropping fast. So in a neavous panic I hurry to the one base they have and I keep hearing "Enemy armor spotted!" so I know there is a target for me to destory. Will I drive in and blow up the tank giving myself that last 23rd kill needed. It says I killed him, then, BOOM! The round ends.

No badge....... nothing but a whole bunch of suicides and negitive teamwork score.

But I guess I can look at it one way. At least that round brings me close to the 300 total I'm going to need for Expert. But I still need Vet. ARGH!!

I feel your pain...I'd be happy just to get my basic!  Still working on it.  I've come close about 4 times now and nothing.  Next time we're in a game I'll help you out...spotting and stuff.  Maybe we can get em together through some coordination.

Actually killing yourself may have effected it you think? Did you get an TKs cuz someone on another forum thread  claims that it takes away from your total kills and may steal your badge away from you. Other than standard server not recording your badge problem that we all have that's all I can think of.

I dont know, I didn't get any TKs (surprisingly), but right when I killed the last guy (I mean like little less than 2 SECONDS afterwards) the round ended. I think I maybe would of gotten it if the round would of lasted for at least 5 more seconds longer.

That's all I ask.....

Eh, oh well.

No, TK's dont matter towards badges. Kills vs. TKs are tracked separately in the game logic.

Also, it's pretty common to miss out on an award if you get it right near the end of the round. I think that the routine which checks for awards doesn't run every 2 seconds, but probably more like once every minute or so, in which case if you meet reqs right near the end of round, you probably miss out. ^shrug^

yeah , dude i knw how gutted u feel , ...remember the time i was goin wif my old acount for purple heart which u require a min of 20deaths !!!!!!! and 5kills , so i decided to take care of the eazy 5kills , 2 minutes later - done , tickets are still high up there , so the next objective was to die 20 times, as i was spec ops i c4ed myself, then spawned then c4 , and so on ..it got to the point where i had 19 deaths and 3 tickets for my team left on karkand ,then when i spawned again hoping 2 die once more 2 get the cursed purple heart , IT WAS ALL OVER ....

No Purple Heart medal....... nothing but a whole bunch of suicides and negitive teamwork score...lol
*Nowdays i gave it up realising how dum i was trying 2 get it in 1st place, Purple Heart is a Medal for Noobs*

similar story with me.. except.. different...
I'm on USMC (24/7 karkand ) 64 players. I'm having a GREAT round... well I got to about 20 kills.. and than BAM teamswitch.. IT SWITCHES ME TO THE LOSING TEAM! we only have ONE spawn! and if that wasn't lame enoough... I get to 22 kills...  I'm hustling to get another kill.. I see the ticket count drop RAPIDLY from 6 down to one... I start to throw my C4 at a guy BOOM round end.
I t was all because of the teamswitch.. it threw me off.. for one, I wasn't use to attacking US guys... *SIGH*
I'll try again tomorrow.

There must be some reason why you don't have your airbourne ribbon?
