Firstly if this has already been reported, then I am sorry to post it again.

Anyway on to the glitch, I Loaded into one of the EA titan servers and I notice that I didn't have any unlocks, my rank was fine just no unlocks.

So I disconnect and reload in, I see that this time everything is fine unlocks, rank Etc...

So I start playing and up pops an ribbon that I already have, I didnt think much to this maybe you can get the ribbons more than once.

I carry on playing a minute later up pops another ribbon, then a basic badge and this keeps going on all the round, I finish up with 5 ribbons, 4 badges and 1 medal, all that I have received before, plus as a nice bonus a rank up, 1 unlock and 3764 points.

Now I now of the rank glitch were you spawn as a private and get your badges again, but with me I spawned at my normal rank with all my unlocks.

Strange don't you think?

Anyway here the Pic's of all the stuff I got......

I'm quite sure that has been debated around here already. It happened to several people.

Ok it happened again last when I was playing, I started getting awards that I already had (ribbions, medals and badges), it wasnt the rank glitch I already know about this (my rank was fine as were my unlocks)

Now has anybody heard of this bug/glitch, I was speaking to friends a bit ago and he said it was happens when you change your PC clock and its cheating.

Thing is I havent change my PC clock (I did have to re-install windows a few weeks back, but if that was it wouldnt it have happened then and not now).

He said its been posted elsewhere and that EA are reseting people for it (I havent seen the link myself he didnt send one) and he says its on the in-game news ticker.

Any help would be great.

I have got this as well(currently proud owner of 2 good conduct ribbons, 2 basic explosive and pistol badges!). I dunno exactly why it happens to me, but mostly its when I play a server which have in my favs, which I log into straight away. SOOOOOO...... my theory is that EA loads your stats, but cant 'compute' your rank fast enough to give you your rank, hence, private bug. Feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong......

Great post mate well done did you even bother to read all the post's?

I'm guessing not so If you haven't anything positive or helpful to add, then go bother someone else.

I'm not sure what cause's it, but all I can find on the new ticker in game is to make sure your time and date is right so the stats update right.

I have search many different forums including the EA one and they is no mention of this so called cheat/glitch/bug or that people are going to get reset, I can find one post even sounding like it.

As Ive said before, when it happens (its happened Twice now), my rank and unlocks seem fine, I just receive awards again I already have and get the points again for them.

I haven't seen or heard anything and I have even touched my setting from when I last installed windows and that normal when I do.

Now has anyone heard or come across this so called clock cheat/glitch/bug?

I just can't see how even if you did alter you PC clock setting how it would do this.

Also he said loads of people were doing it, so has anyone here done it, or heard of some one doing it?

Super Point Glitch - Works in 1.06
This glitch was found by "Fred" I am just posting it here for your info. I did test this and it works well, I got 5800 points in one round..... muhahahaha!!

Ok, I'm going to explain this nice and easy. So you log on, and sometimes you join a server and then you see that your a recruit and you say "WTF?" You find out your rank by looking at the scoreboard. This happens at random and shows you as a recruit at times. Well, take advantage of it. You can earn all of your AWARDS ALL OVER AGAIN during that. I was just Captain Silver and then i noticed the glitch in a 64 player FALL OF BERLIN MAP. I tried to get my awards again and it worked. In the process, I had gained about 4000-6000 points in just 2 hours. i'm now Major Gold.

Basically, you just check if it says ur recruit and then you try to earn awards in the server.

Awards Earned:
Collecters Badge (Whole Set) = 1520
Recon (Bronze, Silver) = 520
Explosive (Whole Set) = 1520
Pistol (Bronze, Silver) = 520
Resupply (Bronze, Silver) = 520
Soldier Merit Ribbon = 50
Good Conduct Ribbon = 500
Scores (Points Earned Normally) = Around 250

Total = 5920 rounded = 6000

Thats quite a Bullbustin' Glitch.

********************************************************************************************

So its just another crappy EA glitch, that happens randomly and by accident and is nothing to do with cheating or changing the PC clock.

I cant recomend trying whats posted above because its still a glitch and once EA sort it out you might end up getting reset.

i serously doubt they'll reset everyone, because it happens all the time without trying. most likely what would happen is they would look for certain awards being awarded more then once, and then adjust players. it would be unfair to reset everyone because of their system. literaly, this happens to everyone at some point in time, with a certain award.

It happened really bad with me, over a 3 hour period. I quit the game fully, rebooted and waited 15 minutes before reconnecting, tried diffrent servers, loging in and out, nothing worked. It continued to award me the same award every round i played and met the requirements. it didnt make a diffrence too much since i already had 38 unlocks at the time, but i stopped keeping track after my 7th ribbon. it took 2 days before the ribbon finally showed up in my bfhq, and strangely even though it was awarding me the ribbon the 2nd day, it was doing it but i wasn't receiving the points just the award. i probably got it 15-20 times, though it only gave me points for the first 7.

They'd have to reset everyone's account because this happens to everyone, at some point in time.
