P I N S

Assault Rifle Efficiency Pin
Get 7 kills with an assault rifle in one round, you can switch between different assault rifles, you are only required to get 7 kills before it ends. The Assault class spawns with assault rifles.

Sub Machine Gun Efficiency Pin
Get 7 kills with an SMG in one round, you can switch between different SMGs, you are only required to get 7 kills before it ends. The Engineer class spawns with SMGs

Light Machine Gun Efficiency Pin

Sniper Rifle Efficiency Pin

Resupply Ops Pin
Resupply 7 teammates in one round. The assault class carries small, deployable ammo kits that can be thrown by pressing on the D-Pad. When a teammate who needs ammo walks over, you will get a point bonus for supplying ammo. You can get multiple resupply bonuses from one kit.

Maintenance Ops Pin
Get 7 repair bonuses in one round. The Engineer class spawns with a power drill that can be taken out by pressing on the D-Pad. If you walk up to a damaged vehicle you can repair it by holding the right trigger, you will receive a point bonus for every 15 health. You will not get points if the vehicle has been damaged by a teammate. A good strategy to get this is to sit in the passenger seat of a black hawk helicopter (5 seats) with your power tool equipped, as you fly around you will take damage and can repair the helicopter as you fly in it by looking at the floor while repairing.

Medical Ops Pin
Revive 5 teammates in a round. As the Medic class you can revive teammates with the defibrillator, which can be used by pressing on the D-Pad. If you see a teammate die, you can revive them by pressing the right trigger while looking at their body with the defibrillator equipped. Bodies will disapeer after about 10 seconds of the person dying.

Surveillance Ops Pin
In a round, get 5 motion tracker assists. As the Recon class you have access to a motion tracker that looks like a small ball, throwable by pressing on the D-Pad. The ball will mark an area around it on your radar, and any enemies in that area will be marked on the map for the whole team to see, if someone you marked dies, you get a point bonus.

Grenade Launcher Efficiency Pin
Kill 4 enemies in a round with grenade launchers. The grenade launcher is an attachment that can be found on the primary weapon of the assault class that can be accessed by pressing on the D-Pad. A good way to get kills with grenade launcher rounds is to aim for someone who isn't moving or light armored vehicles such as the ATV or Transport car. You can kill people on foot with the grenade launcher but it can prove to be difficult.

Rocket Launcher Efficiency Pin
Kill 4 enemies in a round with rocket launchers. The rocket launcher is equipment that can be found on the Engineer class. Pressing on the D-Pad will bring it up. Very effective against all vehicles, less effective against foot soldiers.

Shotgun Efficiency Pin
Kill 4 enemies in a round with a shotgun. Shotguns can be used on any class but replace your primary weapon, the 40mm shotgun attachment for the assault class also counts towards this pin. After reaching Rank 2, you will be rewarded with your first shotgun. To use it, go to your kit selection screen and change your primary weapon to the shotgun. When using the shotgun, it is well advised that you use it only inside of buildings or when defending/arming crates, as the range is very limited.

Handgun Efficiency Pin
Kill 4 enemies in a round with a handgun. The handgun is on all of the classes as a secondary weapon, and can be switched to at any time. The handgun is far weaker than a primary weapon and is normally only used if your primary has run out of ammo. Handgun kills become very easy on enemies who are already hurt or enemies who are not paying attention.

Melee Efficiency Pin
Kill 4 enemies with your melee weapon in a round. The melee weapon is your combat knife, and is accessible on every class. The melee is an instant kill but there is a slight delay from the time that you press the button to the time that you kill someone with it. Melee kills are only possible if you are directly next to your opponent, but can be far more useful than shooting at times. You know you have killed someone with your melee attack if their dog tag appears on your screen.

Emplacement Efficiency Pin
Kill 6 enemies with stationary weapons in a round. A stationary weapon refers to the Heavy MG turret or the Laser Guided RPG turret. The RPG turret is highly effective against vehicles while the Heavy MG turret is highly effective against people on foot, use accordingly.

Explosive Efficiency Pin
Kill 4 enemies with explosives in a round. Explosives can be found everywhere, from frag grenades, to C4 charges, to tank shells, you will very likely pick this up while trying to get other pins.

Kill Assist Pin
Get 7 assists bonuses in a round. You can get an assist bonus by shooting someone without killing them, and having another teammate kill them before they are healed by a teammate. Spotting an enemy and having them killed by a teammate will also give you an assist bonus.

Savior Pin
Get 2 savior kills in a round. A savior kill is a small bonus you get for killing an enemy as he was trying to kill your teammate, if your teammate dies, you will not get a savior bonus.

Avenger Pin
Get 2 avenger kills in a round. An avenger kill is a point bonus you get for killing an enemy shortly after he has killed one of your teammates a short while ago. If you take too much time killing your enemy or he does not kill your teammate, you will not get an avenger bonus.

Nemesis Pin
In a round kill the same enemy 5 times. Self explanatory. This is probably easiest in Squad Rush, where the teams are smaller and rounds last a generally long time.

Payback Pin
In a round kill your Nemesis. To get this pin, you have to kill someone who has previously killed you 5 times in a round and gotten a nemesis pin off you..

Marksman Pin
Get 5 headshots in a round. Self explanatory, aim for the head.

Combat Efficiency Pin
In a round reach a killstreak of 6. To get this you must kill 6 people in a single life. For tips see Combat Excellence Pin.

Combat Excellence Pin
In a round reach a killstreak of 8. To get this you must kill 8 people in a single life. This can be done at any time in the game and multiple times. The best way to get this pin is to play smart and play the way you want to. Running and Gunning wont get you very far towards this pin, a good way to get kills from a safe distance is by using a UAV. Tanks can also be an effective way to get kills while keeping yourself protected. To get this, play in the way you feel the most comfortable and try your best to not die.

Gold Squad Pin
In a round be a part of the best squad. To get this pin, your entire squad has to do well so that your combined total is higher than the total number of points every other squad has. A good way to do this is play your best with a team of friends who generally do well every game. Having a whole team of snipers will not often give you a high amount of points, but having one or two squad mates play as the Medic will increase your chances, as Medics get a large amount of experience very quickly from reviving or healing teammates.

Ace Pin
In a round be the best player. To get this pin, you as an individual must have more points than anyone else in the game. A good way to get this would be to play as a medic and revive/heal your teammates constantly.

[Runic Aries]

Wheels of Hazard Pin
Roadkill 3 enemies in a round. To roadkill an enemy you must run them over with the vehicle. This works with any vehicle including the UAV. Jump in a vehicle you are comfortable with and try to run people over, helicopters are not recommended for this as it is very hard.

Naval Warfare Pin
In a round kill 4 enemies with Sea vehicles. Sea vehicles can be found in bodies of water (or sometimes on the shore). All you have to do is get kills using the vehicle, it can be a roadkill or a kill using any of the mounted weapons found on the vehicle, sitting in a passenger seat and using your primary weapon also counts towards this pin. Sea Vehicles can be found on the fallowing maps:

• Isla Inocentes
• Laguna Presa (PMC Only)

Air Warfare Pin
In a round kill 5 enemies with Air vehicles. An air vehicle is classified as any type of helicopter including the UAV, luckily air vehicles are very easy to get kills with providing you know how to fly them. If you do not know how to fly helicopters, you should try to use the UAV or take a gunner seat in a Blackhawk (5 seat) helicopter. If you are in the passenger seat of a helicopter using your primary weapon, any kills you get will count as an air vehicle kill. Air Vehicles can be found on the fallowing maps:

• Port Valdez
  Laguna Alta
  Isla Inocentes
  Atacama Desert
• Panama Canal (UAV Only)
  Valparaiso Village (UAV Only)
  Arica Harbor (UAV Only)
  White Pass (UAV Only)
  Nelson Bay (UAV Only)
  Laguna Presa (UAV Only)

Tank Warfare Pin

• Panama Canal
  Port Valdez
  Valparaiso Village
  Laguna Alta
  Isla Inocentes
  Atacama Desert
  Arica Harbor
  White Pass
  Laguna Presa

Car Warfare Pin
In a round kill 4 enemies with cars. Cars are classified as any land vehicle that is not a tank. Getting kills with your primary weapon while in a passenger seat will still count as a car kill, as do weapons mounted on the car such as the turret seat in the Humvee. Cars can be found on the fallowing maps:

• Panama Canal
  Port Valdez
  Valparaiso Village
  Atacama Desert
  Arica Harbor
  White Pass
  Laguna Presa

Anti Vehicle Efficiency Pin
In a round, destroy 4 enemy vehicles. The best way to destroy vehicles is by using explosives like C4 charges or Rocket Launchers. Destroying friendly or unmanned vehicles will not count towards this pin.

Squad Member Pin
In a round obtain one attack and one defend order. In a game of Conquest, you can send orders to attack and defend territories by tagging them the same way you would tag an enemy (pressing the button while looking at them). If you attack or defend a flag that has been tagged then it will count towards this pin. You must do this to one of your flags and one of the enemy's flags in a round.

M-Com Attacker Pin
In a round blow up 4 crates. Crates can be found in the Rush playlist and are the primary objectives marked on your minimap. You can blow up crates by using explosives, Damage 2.0, or by using the traditional method of blowing them up with a timed charge via the button. You can only destroy crates as an attacker, blowing up your own crates via friendly fire will not count towards this pin.

M-Com Defender Pin
In a round defend 6 crates. When playing as a defender in a Rush game, you can earn defender point bonuses for each kill you get if you and the person you kill are inside of the Defender's base.

I N S I G N I A S

Long Service Assault Weapons Combat
Kill 500 enemies with Assault Rifles. Playing as the Assault class you can spawn with an assault rifle of your choosing. As you get kills with assault rifles, you will add a little more to this Insignia. You do not have to use the same weapon and this can be done over multiple games.

Long Service Light Weapons Combat
Kill 500 enemies with Sub Machine Guns. Playing as the Engineer class you can spawn with a sub machine gun of your choosing. As you get kills with sub machine guns, you will add a little more to this Insignia. You do not have to use the same weapon and this can be done over multiple games.

Long Service Support Weapons Combat
Kill 500 enemies with Light Machine Guns. Playing as the Medic class you can spawn with a light machine gun of your choosing. As you get kills with light machine guns, you will add a little more to this Insignia. You do not have to use the same weapon and this can be done over multiple games.

Long Service Sniping Weapons Combat
Kill 500 enemies with Sniper Rifles. Playing as the Recon class you can spawn with a sniper of your choosing. As you get kills with sniper rifles, you will add a little more to this Insignia. You do not have to use the same weapon and this can be done over multiple games.

Long Service Tactical Weapons Combat
Kill 500 enemies with shotguns. You will obtain your first shotgun at Rank 2, and can place it on any class replacing your primary weapon. The shotgun is best used indoors and at very close range. This can be earned over multiple games.

Long Service Radio Warfare
Place 100 tracer darts on enemy vehicles. You can choose to replace your handgun with a tracer gun any time after reaching Rank 1. The tracer gun is a small laser designator and anything hit by it will appear on your team's minimap. Tracer darts can also help remotely guide rockets into vehicles. Multiple tracer dart tags on a single vehicle will not count multiple times.

Distinguished Sidearms Combat
Kill 100 enemies with a pistol. Pistol kills are easiest on people who are already injured or do not know you are there, I do not recommend going head to head against someone who is using a primary weapon unless it is a sniper rifle.

Long Service Resupply Ops
Resupply 100 teammates with ammunition. Playing as the Assault class lets you drop ammo kits for teammates to pick up, the more you throw near your teammates the more resupplies you will get. This can be earned over multiple games.

Long Service Maintenance Ops
Repair 100 friendly vehicles. Playing as the Engineer class lets you use the power tool, which you can access through the D-Pad. Approach friendly damaged vehicles and get close enough to use the tool on them. 100 repairs is quite a lot, but by going into the passenger seat of a blackhawk helicopter (5 seats), you can fly in the helicopter and repair it at the same time. This is VERY useful as helicopters are often being shot at.

Long Service Medical Ops
Heal 100 teammates. Playing as the Medic class lets you throw down medkits for your teammates (and yourself) using the D-Pad. An injured teammate will have a large + sign above their head, you can run up to this person and heal him with your medkit. Play supportive instead of being a soldier and you will get this quickly.

Long Service Surveillance Ops
100 Motion mine spot assists. Playing as the Recon class lets you throw motion tracking mines using the D-Pad. Any enemies near these mines when you throw them will be lit up on your screen and minimap for your team to see. When a teammate kills someone you tagged with a mine, you will get a motion mine spot assist, if you kill the person however, you will not get an assist bonus, only a regular kill. Throw into large crowds / crate buildings for best results.

Squad Resupply Ops
100 Squad resupplies. Similar to Long Service Resupply Ops (above) but only members of your squad that are resupplied will count towards this one, regular teammates will not count. Squadmates display names will be green, while teammates who are not in your squad will be blue. This can be easily boosted with a friend, simply have him be in your squad and stay in a safe location (defenders base or a base no longer in use is optimal). Have your friend fire off a few shots and reload, then resupply him. This can be earned over multiple games.

Squad Repair Ops
100 Squad repairs. Similar to Long Service Maintenance Ops (above) but only vehicles occupied by squad members will count towards this insignia. This can be earned over multiple games.

Squad Medical Ops
50 Squad heals and 50 squad revives. Similar to Long Service Medical Ops (above) but only healing a squad member will count towards this insignia. You must also revive 50 dead squad members with your defibrillator. Easiest to earn playing as a very squad oriented support player. This can be earned over multiple games.

Squad Combat Assistance
100 Squad Assists. Similar to a regular assist, but the person who you assist in the kill must be a squad member. This can be earned over multiple games.

Squad Teamwork Ops
20 Squad defend and 20 squad attack orders. In a game of Conquest, you can send orders to attack and defend territories by tagging them the same way you would tag an enemy (pressing the button while looking at them). If you attack or defend a flag that has been tagged then it will count towards this pin. Respond to 20 of each to earn this insignia.

Squad Retaliation Ops
20 squad avenges and 40 squad assists. This can be very easy, to get this, playing as a squad is essential. If you want this insignia, stay near your squad and try to remain in contact with them.

Squad Tactical Ops
200 Squad spawns off you. This will come in time, all that is required is to have 200 squad members choose to spawn at your location while they are respawning.

Squad Surveillance Ops
50 Squad motion mine spot assists. Similar to Long Service Surveillance Ops (above) but a squad member must kill the person you spotted for the assist to count towards this insignia. A good strategy for this is to be in constant communication with your squad members and telling them where you tagged the people they need to kill.

Distinguished Marksman Combat
100 Headshots. This will come in time but you can get this much faster if you aim for the head. Sniping can also help you get this much faster as you will most likely be aiming for headshots.

Distinguished Combat Efficiency

When a vehicle drives over it, the mine will explode and so will the vehicle, do this 100 times for the insignia.

Distinguished Melee Combat
Kill 100 enemies with the combat knife. The melee is an instant kill but there is a slight delay from the time that you press the button to the time that you kill someone with it. Melee kills are only possible if you are close to your opponent, but can be far more useful than shooting. You know you have killed someone with your melee attack if their dog tag appears on your screen.

Conquest Good Conduct
Capture 100 flags. You must capture 100 M-Com stations for this insignia, this will take time but for tips see Flag Attacker Pin (above).

[Runic Aries]

Elite Multiple Target Combat
Get 50 Double kills. A double kill, is killing two enemies within a short time limit. Double kills are not very common but an easy way to get multiple kills is by using Destruction 2.0 to your advantage or destroying vehicles. Important houses such as ones with a crate inside and vehicles are more than likely to have multiple people inside.

Elite Melee Combat
200 kills with the Combat Knife. The melee is an instant kill but there is a slight delay from the time that you press the button to the time that you kill someone with it.

You know you have killed someone with your melee attack if their dog tag appears on your screen.

Distinguished Grenade Combat
Kill 100 enemies with grenades. All classes have grenades on them however they are hard to get kills with. A good strategy is to throw them ahead of your target unless they are not moving. Best thrown into crowds or inside buildings.

Elite Marksman Combat
Get 500 headshots. To get a headshot bonus, you must have the killing shot on an enemy be a bullet to the head, not hard to do since shooting the head has a 2.0x damage multiplier that makes it an instant kill with almost every gun. Earn 500 to get this insignia, remember aim high.

Distinguished Artillery Combat
100 Kills using Mortar Strikes. The mortar strike is a piece of equipment that can be substituted for the C4 charges on the Recon class. This must first be unlocked by getting 4000 points as the Recon class. Once unlocked, you can equip by pressing on the D-Pad, and used by holding on the location you would like to use it on. The location you choose to mortar strike will be brought down by a rain of explosives, therefore: it is not smart to use on an area you are near.

These Awards can only be accessed via the SPECACT DLC which can be purchased on Marketplace or obtained through Dr. Pepper codes. Currently there is no way for residents of North America to buy this DLC from the marketplace but here is a guide on how to get the Dr. Pepper promotional DLC for free, this works in all countries. Each of these Awards also counts towards your achievement progress.

SPECACT Assault Excellence Pin
Get 8 kills in a round using the SPECTAT version of the M16.

M16 SPECACT Efficiency Pin
Get a killstreak of 5 using the SPECTAT version of the M16. The M16 is strange for some people to use as it is burst fire, my recommendation for this if you are struggling is to use slow, controlled burst fire at mid-long range, and rapid trigger pulls at short range.

SPECACT Engineer Excellence Pin
Get 8 kills in a round using the SPECTAT version of the UMP 45.

UMP SPECACT Efficiency Pin
Get a killstreak of 5 using the SPECTAT version of the UMP 45. The UMP 45 is an all-round good Sub Machine Gun, and you really shouldn't have much trouble with this so long as you use your head.

SPECACT Medic Excellence Pin
Get 8 kills in a round using the SPECTAT version of the MG3.

MG3 SPECACT Efficiency Pin
Get a killstreak of 5 using the SPECTAT version of the MG3. The MG3 is the weakest Light Machine Gun in the game which makes it very challenging for some to get kills with, my advice to this would be to play it safe, and stick to closer combat areas. Magnum Ammo can also help you with this by increasing the base damage of each individual bullet, and because the MG3 shells out a lot of rounds very fast, this becomes very effective.

SPECACT Recon Excellence Pin
Get 8 kills in a round using the SPECTAT version of the M95.

M95 SPECACT Efficiency Pin
Get a killstreak of 5 using the SPECTAT version of the M95. The M95, despite having a very high damage stat, is not a 1 shot kill and still requires headshots for the kill, that said this may be very hard for those of you who are not good at sniping. The best advice that I can give is to take your time and line up your shots, counter-sniping enemy recon works very well as a large majority of recon are very bad at getting headshots and do not move for long periods of time.

Assault SPECACT Knowledge
Get 100 kills using the SPECACT kit. This does not mean using the Assault + class as the description may have you think, this means using the weapon variation. Only kills with the M16 SPECACT will count towards this insignia.

Engineer SPECACT Knowledge
Get 100 kills using the SPECACT kit. This does not mean using the Engineer + class as the description may have you think, this means using the weapon variation. Only kills with the UMP SPECACT will count towards this insignia.

Medic SPECACT Knowledge
Get 100 kills using the SPECACT kit. This does not mean using the Medic + class as the description may have you think, this means using the weapon variation. Only kills with the MG3 SPECACT will count towards this insignia.

Recon SPECACT Knowledge
Get 100 kills using the SPECACT kit. This does not mean using the Recon + class as the description may have you think, this means using the weapon variation. Only kills with the M95 SPECACT will count towards this insignia.

From playing the demo and 1943, the "defend" ones you get by being in the base/close proximity to the flag/crate and getting a kill. Get 6 kills in a round in this position and you'll get the pin.

For the capture one, you just have to be ONE of the people to capture a flag. Do it 3 times in a round, get the pin.

[Hustlinonradio]

Gold Crate Defender Pin: When you are on the defending side of a rush match, you will get defender points if you kill an enemy that is near any m-coms that they are trying to destroy. Do this 6 times and you will get the crate

Flag Attacker Pin: This is related to Conquest mode in which you capture flags to help your team, to get this pin you need to capture 3 flags. You will get this pin if you capture the flag yourself or be one of the persons on the flag when it is captured. Do this 3 times to get the pin

Flag Defender: Similar to Gold Crate Defender except in conquest mode. Just kill someone when they are trying to capture your team's flag and repeat 6 more times

I don't really have anything to add, but I have a question.
Are there more than fifty of these awards?
Or are there exactly fifty for the achievement?

[Fanva]

I counted them in the demo and there's like 90 awards.
And isn't it MCOM Stations and not Gold Crates.

I have no idea, for some reason I wrote down Gold Crate Attack/defend for the title, but I cant double check for 3 more days, unless one of you people who kindly pirated the game wants to confirm it for me

[guillermo316]

[APX]

It's been displayed on the screen when they charge/defuse/destroy it.

M-Com Station.

Melee Efficiency Pin
Kill 3 enemies with your melee weapon in a round. The melee weapon is your combat knife, and is accessible on every class. The melee is an instant kill but there is a slight delay from the time that you press the button to the time that you kill someone with it. Melee kills are only possible if you are directly next to your opponent, but can be far more useful than shooting at times. You know you have killed someone with your melee attack if their dog tag appears on your screen.

Emplacement Efficiency Pin
Kill 6 enemies with stationary weapons in a round. A stationary weapon refers to the Heavy MG turret or the Laser Guided RPG turret. The RPG turret is highly effective against vehicles while the Heavy MG turret is highly effective against people on foot, use accordingly.

Kill Assist Pin
Get 6 assists bonuses in a round. You can get an assist bonus by shooting someone without killing them, and having another teammate kill them before they are healed by a teammate. Spotting an enemy and having them killed by a teammate will also give you an assist bonus.

Nemesis Pin
In a round kill the same enemy 4 times. Self explanatory.

Marksman Pin
Get 4 headshots in a round. Self explanatory, aim for the head.

Combat Efficiency Pin
In a round reach a killstreak of 5. To get this you must kill 5 people in a single life. For tips see Combat Excellence Pin.

Combat Excellence Pin
In a round reach a killstreak of 7. To get this you must kill 7 people in a single life. This can be done at any time in the game and multiple times. The best way to get this pin is to play smart and play the way you want to. Running and Gunning wont get you very far towards this pin, a good way to get kills from a safe distance is by using a UAV. Tanks can also be an effective way to get kills while keeping yourself protected. To get this, play in the way you feel the most comfortable and try your best to not die.

Air Warfare Pin
In a round kill 6 enemies with Air vehicles. An air vehicle is classified as any type of helicopter including the UAV, luckily air vehicles are very easy to get kills with providing you know how to fly them. If you do not know how to fly helicopters, you should try to use the UAV for the entire round or until you get the pin, as the UAV is very easy to get kills with. If you are in the passenger seat of a helicopter using your primary weapon, any kills you get will not count as an air vehicle kill.

Tank Warfare Pin
In a round kill 6 enemies with tanks. Tanks are found on most maps and are very easy to get kills with. Getting a kill in any seat of the tank will count as a tank kill.

Squad Member Pin
In a round obtain one attack and one defend order.
-Currently Unknown-

All of those are wrong. I probably could have found more, but I got bored and didn't want to continue. You should probably update this and look at the Pins/Insignias again.

Melee: 4, not 3
Emplacement: 5, not 6
Kill Assist: 7, not 6
Nemesis: 5 , not 4
Marksman: 5, not 4
Combat Efficiency: 6 Killstreak, not 5
Combat Excellence: 8 Killstreak, not 7
Air: 5 Kills, not 6
Tank: 7 Kills, not 6

As for Squad Member Pin-In a round obtain one asttack and one defend order.

You give orders by pressing the back button while looking at an objective. It will then either put a square around it (with 4 mini triangles on the edges), or a Diamond (4 mini tri on the edges). It depends on the if you are defending or attacking. Look at the Pin to see what they look like.

You simply give an Press the back button on the M-comm you want to arm and once it is armed and destroyed, you will get bonus points. Press the back button on it to defend the M-comm when it is Armed and defuse it and you will get bonus points.

Not positive on the defend one. But something like that. I will confirm later.

I assumed you had the full game since you were writing this. Anyways, Good job so far. Ur going to have to confirm the Squad Member Pin. I know the attack thing is right.

Ya, havn't gotten the full game yet so I'm not super clear on some of these or if there proper, thats why there are probably some mistakes. And then there are things I just dont know like what a Marksman headshot exactly is.

[SideDish120]

I can confirm the flag attacker pin works on neutral flags.

[DugDigger]

A marksman head shot is just getting a head shot with a sniper rifle from a good amount of distance. I found that I would get the Marksman Head Shot bonus when I had to calculate in bullet drop to my shots. So you won't get the Marksman Head Shot bonus if you sneak up on someone and kill them at point blank.....its all about distance from the target. Hope that helps!

[Runic Aries]

Well after quite a bit of work the guide is completely filled in with the exception of a few images, but all of the information is there. Huge thanks go out to everyone who helped me put this together.

[Mister Buds]

has anyone actually managed to unlock the assault rifle efficiency pin? i've used nothing but the assault class so far in multiplayer. i've gotten upwards of 20+ kills with my assault rifle some games and still haven't received it. anyone know why?

[wtmxwl III]

Good guide.

I managed to get the achievement for 50 awards right when I hit level 10. These achievements are nothing like BC1

i dont know why, i got 2 yesterday in the same game, and i only had 8 total kills..7 of which was with the assault rifle. just keep at it, and i am sure that you will get it soon..maybe try and switch class, and get a kill award kill for it, then go back to assault. i dont know if that works, but its worth a try, and you'll still have fun trying it!

edit: nevermind

[yonizzlechizzle]

the ensignia for 5 gold stars, does it have to be with 5 different weapons? or can it be 5 with 1 or 2?

[xhunterrrr]

What are good maps for the Naval Warfare Pin?

The only map I can think of that currently has boats on it is Valparaiso Village, so that would be your best bet. Try to sneak around to the side and unload grenade launcher rounds onto the island.

I believe it has to be 5 Gold stars on 5 different weapons, I dont think getting a Gold Star 5 will net you the pin you want.
