How to unlock the Committed achievement

    Somehow my solution became the top rated for a time and I have no idea when that happened. The last time I checked it was like the fifth one, so apparently a bunch of other solutions were culled by the site or deleted by their owners.

    Now under a normal situation, you would boot the game once a week for 12 consecutive weeks. Obviously this is a crock so everyone has been trying really hard to figure out where this game delimits one week from the next, so that someone could just swap their timezone back and forth to complete this achievement in a single day.

    The universal conclusion on how to determine the day and time you need to do this on: "fuck if I know". Whatever date methods the developer is using to determine week starts/ends is arbitrary and changes every year. Making matters worse is that a day that works in one country tends not to in another, without any obvious correlation between them like time zones. There is no way for anyone to know without simply busting their ass to experiment on their own.

    So, the best we've got is for some poor bastards to figure out what the current year's magical day is on their own and hopefully share their results with the rest of the class in the comments. Your only remaining option is, as HolyHalfDead puts it, "betting on every horse in the race" by starting the game 7 or more times per day for a week, though anyone who can grasp odds and sports betting knows that you would lose a spectacular amount of money this way (or in this case, time.)

    In the end, I'd say just bite the bullet and boot the game once a day for three weeks. Even the methods that are supposed to be rock solid and work 100% of the time are rigmaroles (I mean, just take a glance at any other solution for this achievement) that do not work on certain days, at certain times, when certain planets are aligned with each other, or when you're not standing on your head with a strawberry ring pop stuck in your ass.

    FENIKXTo the 2 guys above me: you got it by booting up the game every saturday/sunday for 3 months? Or using the -12/+14 method on a saturday or sunday? And what day is it exactly?

    Whats a ChundyThey both mention the trick in their comments, something is off tho as one of them got it on a Saturday and the other a Sunday. Try each day at those exact time and then if it doesn’t work my comment above will be a backup plan for you

    LvxJust did the -12 +14 trick and it unlocked after 8 tries for me? Maybe I miscounted but it felt very early. Saturday/Sunday GMT+1.

    NOTE: For this achievement, the people who have posted solutions are correct (FOR THE YEAR IN WHICH THEY WROTE GOT THEM)

    **IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GO FOR IT IN 2010**

    The day to go for this achievement now in 2010 is by using WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY. If you have a choice Wednesday is preferred, as the way to do it, just use the time zone change on the dashboard-system preferences-console settings-clock-then change the time zones from -12 to +14. MAKE SURE that the dates and times are changing as well as that the time is changing to either Wednesday or Thursday. This achievement took me about 10-15 minutes. I had to wait until the time zones would not set me back to Tuesday.

    As a little side note for people who attempt this achievement in the years to come, just push the days forward. Therefore, in 2011, the days will be Thursday and Friday. And so on and so forth.

    Since people are having problems with the new year, I can ONLY assume the dates have been push forward another day. It could very well be THURSDAY and FRIDAY. Read the guide carefully and be mindful of the year. It WILL work if you count the calendar ahead from this guide.

    Post comments below if you are having difficulty with this and I'll be glad to help.

    EDIT 3/21/11:
    Judging from the comments, this achievement appears to be working on Thursday at 1:30 GMT. Hope this helps, if you need any other advice please comment and I'll get back to you

    EDIT 12/30/11
    It seems that this now works at 18:30 GMT on Friday. Therefore it is no Friday-Saturday

    The intended way to get the achievement is to boot up the game one day a week over the course of three months. What this and other solutions suggest is abusing the timezone setting of your console to change the date your console reports to Xbox Live, because setting it enough timezones ahead or behind your real one can place you temporarily in a different calendar day. This is a significant boon because if you can target the specific day Brothers in Arms decides the week begins, you can finish this achievement in 30 minutes. For instance, if the game considers 6 AM Monday to start a new week, you can boot up your console at 6:10 and get one week's credit, then set your timezone back an hour to 5:10 and get credit for another week, then set the timezone back up an hour and the game thinks it's an entirely new week at 6:10 again; repeat until the achievement pops.

    It's simple enough in theory, but the specific day and time is a point of contention and completely up in the air in light of a complete lack of any repeatable theses and wildly varying reports of success. The day of the week you need seems to change with the console region and your country/location, while nobody has nailed down the specific gateway time to attempt it.

    To nutshell the entire thing, it's tons less hassle to simply slot out ten minutes for twelve consecutive Wednesdays to boot up the game and get the achievement the "hard" way.

    Games MasterI got mine today doing a saturday-monday switch in the uk (GMT +1). I waited until past 10am so that I'd skip the whole of sunday but it seems to be sunday-monday for 2014. It looks like the day changes by 1 every year so expect it to be monday-tuesday in 2015.

    Eric FiltroMe and a friend can confirm that you need to do this on a Monday night. I am in Central Time, and got it at 8:30 p.m. My friend got it the week before, Monday night, at 10:30 p.m., Central Time as well.

    I unlocked the achievement today on 18 August 2020.

    I am from Germany so, if you have the same timezone like Germany your time to do this with the timezone switch is TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY ( i started at 14.00 am )

    -12 +14 Method worked for me perfect.

    Hope this will help you guys.

    Freylis xFor 2023 players, I just obtained this achievement by doing this trick on a Friday night at 5:30 P.M. PST. So it seems for 2023 it is Friday - Saturday.
