Battlefield: Bad Company

Bad Company 1 Glitched Achievement To Finally Get Fixed... "Hopefully"
Written Saturday, August 14, 2010 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

When the release of Bad Company 2 rolled around earlier on this year, many of those looking for a fix for the "I Am Bad Company" achievement pretty much gave up hope. After all, it's not very often a developer patches an old glitch when their new game rolls out into the limelight.

The achievement that required you get all of the online awards was glitched and looked like one of those that would remain that way forever and a day, that is until recently.

DICE's QA Manager, Joe Grant, recently gave those looking for a fix a lot of hope on the official Electronic Arts forums, stating, "We are releasing a new server update on the 24th August. We have a few last checks to make but hopefully it will be fixed once and for all."

While that isn't entirely definitive - damn that word hopefully - the fact that they are still looking into it is welcoming and hopefully they can get it fixed once and for all. Then we'll never receive an e-mail on it ever again. EVER AGAIN!!

We hope...

[Thanks John Smith]

I was lucky to unlock this before the patch, only recently. Simply followed the steps given here by the x360a community to unlock it, and it had. But, I have seen plenty of people - both here and on the EA forums - making lists of gamertags that were affected by the glitch, so I can say with confidence that a lot of Xbox Live users are going to be very happy about this.

Not entirely sure if this will do DICE any great justice, however. It's been so long now - 2 years?

I was nowhere near this achievement in the first place! But should I decide to return for the "Beans Bullets Bandages" achievement, it's nice to know "I Am Bad Company!" has been fixed if I ever considered grabbing that one along the way! In my eyes, this is too little too late though :/

the squad patch was the only broken one i think. and they fixed that a long time ago. the only thing still broke is if you had all but that last patch and when they fixed it it would not unlock unless you contacted DICE and they would fix it for you.

but yeah if you still needed a few badges, it wont be glitched for you

Being an EA game I'm surprised the servers are still open for this. Better get it quick though, I'm sure they'll be taken down in the next year or so for sure.

the next game they should fix is gears of war 1 achievements. you need more kills than the description of the achievement. still ive got all kill 100 with xxxxxxx weapon or style.

i bet when gears of war 3 is out then they will fix this . lol first ghost buster and now bfbc1. lol whats next.

anyway how is bfbc1 like . is it fun , or will it be boring since i own bfbc2 and mw2 , so will i find it crap , since im used to the newer games.

@9 you're really gonna go out of your way to antagonize someone? Considering the game was released in June of 2008 yeah I'd say the comment "taken their time about it have they not?" is pretty god damned fucking appropriate...

full disclosure - this update doesn't affect me because I've never unlocked nor will I ever get all the online rewards but I just had to comment when I saw the ridiculous comment by Ryamus.

Its not already fixed: If you started the game after the last fix yes you could get cheev. Anyone who played it before that, even with the fixed squad, cheev still didnt unlock when you got em all.

I doubt they can fix the fact that my awards appear and disappear off of my account pages. No server fix will patch that up. I went to the little request help thread on their forums, but they didn't know what to do for me, even though I sent them a screen shot of my full award chest.

Now I would LOVE a fix for the goddamn Special Operations achievement in Rainbow Six Vegas 1. A lot of that game's achievements were damn hard and I did that last one four times (about 2 1/2 hours each time) and it still won't unlock. I tried deleting the DLC, redownloading the DLC, clearing the cache for both instances, etc.

This is a prime example of why you shouldn't give EA your money. The only company full of more incompetence than EA is Activision...
Then again, with IW gone, Activision might move to 2nd place with EA taking 1st.

They need to fix that last pin in BC2 that I just cannot get. The "defend four flags in a round" pin. I heard it's a typo and you actually have to get six. I actually did get four once and it didn't unlock.

@#19- With it being Battlefield, I don't see them closing down the servers anytime soon. Hell, BF2:MC still has a few servers running and it is much older than Bad Company. Less popular too.

@#34- Not entirely true. Mine popped a couple of days after the patch to fix the glitched award was released. I started the game around the time that it was released... I may have been lucky though, as the guys I was playing with had theirs glitch on them.

@34 you're wrong. It only glitched for people who had all the awards except the glitched one before the first patch. I played it before the patch and I still unlocked it.

#62, there is nothing to be thankful for, they delivered a substandard product with defects that took 2 years to fix, they deserve a bunch of shit for their mistake and shouldn't get a pat on the back for fixing something that should have been caught in q/a before release or fixed very soon after release. I don't want to jump on the EA sucks bandwagon, because they back some great games, but their responsiveness and desire to fix their mistakes in a timely manner is a disgrace to the gaming community. The Aof2 issue is really amateur hour stuff and no I won't be thankful when they finally get around to fixing that one.
