How to unlock the MP - World War II Victory Medal achievement

    February 16th, 2023 3:00 AM UTC. I’m afraid in the words of Porky the Pig That’s all folks! If you already have a request in we’ll do our best to process but unfortunately we won’t be accepting any new requests.

    More than half of all tracked gamers on TA that have completed this game used our solution!

    SERVERS GO DOWN AT SOME POINT TODAY FEBRUARY 16th, 2023!! - Once servers shut down, YOU WON’T be able to get your achievement any more even of you already were processed for unglitching so get those achievements fast!

    Please don’t wait until the last minute! We are nearing the end. Thanks!


    Please get all other achievements first. Please note that my friend cannot "reset" anything so please refrain from requesting that. They can only possibly unglitch progress on your first place map wins specifically. Resetting would not be allowed by XBOX policy ToS even if they had that ability smile If the subject line of your message, or your message itself asks for a "reset", you may be ignored. You might get a courtesy reply but as we're pushing through 30+ a week, and this is on our own free time, that's not guaranteed.

    This achievement has known issues, that can potentially cause it to become unobtainable for some. However, do not despair. All hope is NOT lost.

    #1 - IF you already know your achievement is glitched skip to #2 for potential fix.

    First off, go for this achievement first and try to unlock it at the same time with American Campaign Medal. At this point literally no one plays this game so you will need a boosting group of 4 xboxes / players as this is the minimum amount for a match to start. Work out who will go first, second, third, etc. in your group. Anyone who is not going first should have a secondary account setup ahead of time to use until it is there turn to go.

    When it is your turn to go, run through the 6 maps in Objective Airborne game mode. Select ranked matches and custom and input in the map you are going for. Complete the match ensuring the first placer gets flags 1 & 3 and co-caps flag 2 with teammate. This should take less than 2 minutes per map with load screens. Complete 2 rounds in this manner for your first win. DO NOT press the 'B' button upon match completion as many theories have this pegged as potentially one cause for unobtainability. Once timer counts down you will be back in menu screen. Repeat step and all players choose a new map under custom. Repeat until this player has all 6 wins in first place.

    #2 - IF you already know your achievement is glitched or it becomes glitched from boosting this part is for you.


    PLEASE READ ALL


    So I've made a new best friend. They work for DICE. They helped me unlock my achievement on November 1st, 2015.

    This a for the Medal of Honor: Airborne "MP - World War II Victory Medal" Achievement.
    (Came in first place on every map in any game mode in ranked matches). This solution has been created if you have already "Glitched" the achievement and it has become unobtainable for you.

    With the help of a lone DICE Employee, working on their own time we looked into this achievement. In early November 2015, successful troubleshooting of this achievement occurred. We discovered that some # X of 6 categories of the stats listed as Map A (i.e. Insert Map name) Highest Rank i.e. "MAP_AVA_BESTRANK" (Avalanche) had values from "1st" to "12th" (indicating the highest place you came in on this map match-leaderboard) instead contained values of "0th" place. We then solved how to unglitch all the "0th" places and this allowed them to revert to the previously attained "1st" places (or highest places previously attained) on any glitched map categories. Then once 1 map was played on ranked, and we obtained first place, it allowed the achievement to finally unlock. It is not 100% known what causes a stat to get glitched to "0th" place. Maybe it is quitting a match early or pressing the "B" button upon a match completion rather than letting the count down timer go, or it could just be issues with the patch that was released shortly after the game came out. They do not have access to the code and EA has given up on this game, so the chances are we will never really know and there will only ever be theories.

    Leaderboards can not be reset, but instead individual gamertag unglitching of the vital statistics can occur. As there is no way to know with 100% certainty that our process will not have adverse effects on other achievements, it is MANDATORY that you complete ALL MP achievements prior to this unglitching in order to not make something else unobtainable. It is also HIGHLY recommended that you complete all other achievements for other the same reasoning and you have "45/46" at time of request. Although many gamers have rolled the dice and it does not seem to have adversely affected single player obtainability. Again that is solely at your own risk for SP achievements. Hence the length disclaimers and exclusions from liability :)

    ***FAQ***
    Can your friend at DICE help with other games?
    They have now successfully helped with Battlefield: Bad Company 1 & Medal of Honor: Airborne. In the future, I may attempt to contact them regarding similarly coded glitched achievements. Need for Speed: Carbon and Army of Two: The 40th Day are potential candidates. Any games / achievements that are unobtainable as the result of a server shutdown would be beyond the realm of realistic fixing. However, at this time no additional games are able to be assisted with.

    I just finished the game a few minutes ago, epic run due to the shutdown being delayed. Guess I'm out of luck, at least I got 1000G

    FOR PEOPLE WHO NEVER PLAYED THIS ONLINE YET. This guide SHOULD work.

    Alright, so it's obvious this achievement is glitchy, I got it last night (from the time I write this obviously) on June 13th 2012. Because there are so many variables to take into account, i'll explain what my situation was, how I got my achievement, then i'll go on to explain the additional details.

    READ THE ENTIRE GUIDE IF YOU'RE USING THIS TO GO THE SAME WAY I DID BEFORE DOING ANY BOOSTING. I will also add a summary of the boost at the end of the post.




    So to start off, I never played this game until tonight. I did have one achievement prior:

    Medal of Honor: AirborneGo Go Go!The Go Go Go! achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 5 pointsGet pushed out of the plane in any mission


    Had a buddy come over and put it in to try it while I was doing something. But that's neither here nor there.

    Case in point, I never played online at all. So I updated the game, and got on for the session I joined. In the session, there was me, another guy, and another guy with two consoles (basically him and a dummy account... Obviously).I was up first to do mine. Here's what we did:

    1. We jumped on Ranked, Team Objective

    2. We did every map in reverse order (because of randoms playing on Remagen at the time. The order was:

    Husky
    Neptune*
    Avalanche*
    The Hunt*
    Destroyed Village
    Remagen

    *Look at ** at the bottom

    3. All we did was run the flags. Basically, my teammate would run to the middle-2 person flag, while I captured Flag 1, then I would meet him at Flag 2, then run to Flag 3 to capture. I did this on all the maps ensuring that the flag captures made me be in first place EVERY ROUND. I DID NOT get kills every round, only the couple maps I have starred. And I also did all 6 maps CONSECUTIVELY.

    WE DID NOT hit B at the end of the match or quit any matches. We just sat and waited for timers to run down.


    NOW, im going to explain some variables.



    ** These three maps, we had done the following achievements:

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - Pistol WhipThe MP - Pistol Whip achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 39 pointsKill an enemy with a pistol melee attack

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - Paratrooper's BadgeThe MP - Paratrooper's Badge achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 47 pointsKill an enemy with a melee kick

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - Human Flak GunThe MP - Human Flak Gun achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 29 pointsKill an enemy player with a grenade while he is parachuting

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - Combat Infantryman BadgeThe MP - Combat Infantryman Badge achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 42 pointsKill an enemy player while he is parachuting

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - Purple HeartThe MP - Purple Heart achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 30 pointsRecover full health after being in verge of death state


    I still ensured I was in first place every round by adding a few kills to my count.



    Also, I believe it was on Neptune, NORMALLY the guy on the opposite team would kill my teammate once making sure the leaderboard was:

    1st: Mikhail Krauser
    2nd: Booster 1
    3rd: Booster 2
    4th: Booster 3

    HOWEVER,

    During this Neptune match, I did see the leaderboard as

    1st: Mikhail Krauser
    2nd: Booster 1
    3rd: Booster 2
    3rd: Booster 3

    Because no one got points on the opposite team. So this happened once as far as I noticed.



    I also wanted to note that I popped these ALL AT THE SAME TIME which I think is necessary. So if you're hosting a boost session and someone hasen't started the online, LET THEM GO FIRST:

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - EAM Campaign MedalThe MP - EAM Campaign Medal achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 146 pointsPlay every map at least once in a ranked match

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - American Campaign MedalThe MP - American Campaign Medal achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 0 pointsBe on the winning team for every map in ranked matches

    Medal of Honor: AirborneMP - World War II Victory MedalThe MP - World War II Victory Medal achievement in Medal of Honor: Airborne worth 0 pointsCome in first place on every map in any game mode in ranked matches



    Once I popped these achievements, the other two boosters attempted this method (they had previously done some boosting or had some achievements for playing the maps) and neither unlocked it. Meaning this could prove my method that you need to assault these achievements all at once, or it could just be luck.


    SUMMARY:

    I DID:
    Come 1st on all 6 maps
    Did all 6 maps back-to-back
    Start Fresh (meaning never played online)
    Do the kill/health achievements during two or three games
    Come 1st every round
    Captured all the flags without the enemy doing so
    Wait at the end of the match for the timer to end the game

    I DID NOT:
    Get kills every round
    Have a perfect leaderboard of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Once had a tie for 3rd.
    Quit any matches



    This may still be luck based, or I may have found the way for new people to the game unlocking it. Regardless, don't be selfish if you're boosting a session, if one person has not done any online, LET THEM GO FIRST.



    I appreciate any comments anyone can give, if you vote negatively, please explain why. If you want to vote negatively because "This isn't a proper solution/exact way to fix this achievement" well too bad. This achievement is glitched, that's obvious, and so you have to get lucky. I explained how I unlocked it, and it's a higher chance than most guides i've seen for new people.

    When my boosting group of 4 people ran through the maps for WWII Victory Medal, 3 out of the 4 of us unlocked the achievement. This is the process we followed:

    1. Only one person went at a time. I started on Remagen and went through the maps. I didn't do Avalanche because I had boosted many times on there before. However, the achievement didn't pop after doing the 5 other maps (though American and EAM did), so I did Avalanche once more and got my achievement.

    2. The second guy had never played the game before at all. We ran through all six maps and he got American and WWII at the same time.

    3. The third guy had boosted kills and objectives before, like me, and probably had only played on Avalanche. We went through all six maps and his achievement popped.

    4. The fourth guy had tried to get WWII Victory many times before. He had all other achievements except it. We still ran through all of the maps, hoping the fact that we all had it would help, but he did not unlock the achievement.

    So in theory, there are several factors that influence your chance of receiving this achievement.

    1. If you played the game before the update and received the American or EAM achievements, you probably won't get it. This means that you should try to get WWII Victory Medal at the same time as American and EAM.

    2. Try to boost WWII Victory Medal earlier rather than later. The three people who got it in our session had all started boosting the game in 2012 and had never touched the multiplayer previously. We also had only boosted kills and objectives previously, meaning we never played the game with randoms.

    3. When boosting the achievement, do each person’s six maps in a row.

    4. Do everyone’s turns in the same session, with no one leaving to go to the Xbox Dashboard. This may well tie into Shin Gatsurai’s theory that having other people with the achievement in your games increases the chance of it popping.

    5. For the actual winning of matches, you only need to capture all of the flags in Objective Airborne; no kills are required.

    I hope this helps some more of you get this very elusive achievement. If you have any questions, please PM me!

    Homunculus FuryIf you are new to this game, when going for this achievement. I will assume you are boosting with a group of 4 people.

    most likely you are going to screw one of you out of the achievement.

    The reason being the only way to ensure you unlock this achievement is you have to unlock it at the same time as the American Victory medal.

    There is no way around this. The best way is to use a dummy account until it's your turn. Or make sure that you are not on the same team as your partner when they get their last win. Remember the name of the map and just replay with the partner that just won.

    This is only guaranteed for people who have either not finished all the other MP achievements or have not started this game yet.

    If you have unlocked all the MP achievements and not this one. I'm sorry but you are not guaranteed to unlock this. I don't think you will ever unlock it.
