Digital Illusion Cunts Everytime

Why the fuck do they keep doing this?
They did it on Modern Combat, and they've done it again with Bad Company. What am I ranting about...?
Fucking medals/achievements that are totally impossible to achieve via normal play.
One pissy bronze trophy (achieve all the awards) is going to be all that stands between me and platinum for BC... More specifically, a few awards.
And it was the same for promotion in Modern Combat. I actually applaud their overall promotion system in MC, but again it was plagued by the same problem: medals that were totally unachievable without serious whoring.
Now that developers have fully embrace the post-release patch mentality (cunts on another level, but we'll have to live with it), why not postpone some of the ropey requirements until it's apparent from public play what is actually achievable.
Let's just look at some...
[Note: I'm not including conquest because a) I hate it, and b) it wasn't in the released game]
*50 Saviour Trophies: I doubt the servers will be running for the next 15 years while I work on this. I have about 3 of these in about 7k kills. Pfff.
*50 Roadkills with a boat: WTF? When are you even going to get one? All the fucking maps where people do actually swim don't have bloody boats on. Unless you're lucky enough to find some retard swimming up the Oasis river or in the sea on End of the Line, this one is never going to happen. Oh there is that other map, where I like to park a boat behind the crate in the little hut and beat the shit out of it...
*Emplacement Patches: these are achievable, but it would be better if emplacements could be fixed, because most of the time you might as well wear a hat with a big fucking sign saying "arty here please".
A lot of others are achievable, but it means you have to actively go for them rather than just playing the game with skill. Which is tedious.
