Xbox 360 'Best Squad' Achievement Glitched.

StrongbowTJ · 09-07-2009, 07:54 PM

Just wanting to let the guys at Dice know that the 'Best Squad' Achievement is glitched.

For most people this Achievement will just randomly pop up mid game (without the in-game patch) or pop up at the end of the game even though they were'nt in any squads.

For me and quite a few others it won't unlock at all, in my case I have been in the best squad on each map almost 3 times now and still no Achievement and no patch.

I know Achievements don't really mean much to most people, each to their own, but to some it's a big thing (lol).

"Best Squad" Achievement Glitch. - Xbox360Achievements.org

So over at xbox360achievements we have a thread going (link above) with people who can't unlock it and other people who have unlocked it randomly, so If you guys at Dice could look into this please, maybe not right now becuase your all busy with the servers and what not, but if you could sort it out it would be nice for us "Achievement Junkies".

Thanks in Advance.

P.S If you guys here at the forums are having troubles too please let me know here, thanks again.

Can anybody in the know clear this one up? Is the description wrong or is it glitched?

"But, there is a minor desync here. The UI is not communicating with the server when it is presenting the Top Squad to your client. The client calculates this for you, and it's sometimes mistaken. The server on the other hand is always right."

I guess this "minor" desync isnt worth patching then? So the "solution" is to just cross your fingers and hope that it unlocks? Pfffff

i havent gotten it yet either, and i just was in the top squad on all 3 three maps today!

PerrySmith · 10-07-2009, 09:34 PM

I got it about 20 seconds into my first ever game.
Just came up and I was very confused.

General_Jewels · 10-07-2009, 09:55 PM

i had the same problem, but it randomly popped mid-game. i guess keep playing.

StrongbowTJ · 11-07-2009, 03:47 PM

I got it aswell, djonsson must be wrong, alot of people including myself have had this unlock mid game when not being in a squad.

So if you want the achievement don't play in a squad.
