Finally i earned this little bugger of a trophy on August 1st 2013 at 23:51pm (now holy hour). This trophy is undeniably 1 of the most glitched trophies/achievements in existence. For the few and far between lucky people this trophy will pop on the 6th month after your first playtime on the game's multiplayer. For an exclusively elite group, the trophy may even pop after as few as 2 months! But for most....this trophy will refuse to unlock, many people having to wait as long as 10 months, even 12 months for their Dedication trophy to unlock! The rule is....well....there is no rule! It can pop whenever. I have 1 friend for whom the Dedication trophy popped on the first EVER match they played....i have another for whom the trophy refused to unlock for 1.5 years! Here are some general points i know about this trophy and possible speculations, hints and tips:

-If you have played on the multiplayer regardless of date, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS play on January 1st (new years day). For some unknown reason, this trophy likes to reveal itself infinitesimally more frequently on new years day than any other day. Haul ass onto Crysis 2 on new years day. If you are out on new years day, get a trustworthy friend to hop on to Crysis 2 on that day and finish an online match for you. For instance...i had a friend over on 27th december 2012. He wanted to try out crysis 2 so i let him try it on my alt account. Just under 1 month later on 21st january 2013 i find myself just trying out crysis 2 multiplayer on this alt before i start it on my account. BAM.....Dedication popped. This had not even been 1 month, let alone 6. This is most likely due to the crossover to a new year. ALWAYS play on january 1st and other random dates in january (if you played prior to the new year).
- The guide on ps3trophies.org states that it may be more likely to glitch if you have other accounts on the same ps3 in which you have played crysis 2. I found this to be a load of nonsense as explained above with my alt account.
- The match can be played from the beginning or from joining mid-way through. This is immaterial.
- I first played Crysis 2 MP in january 2013 yet my trophy did not pop throughout July (the 6th month on from january). It did pop on August 1st. Myself (obviously) and some others have reported a slight tendency for dedication to pop on the 1st day of the 7th month. If this fails.....play on the 1st day of every month afterwards.
- My version of the Crysis 2 game was the downloadable version free with PS+ back in November 2012. However, my trophy unlocked whilst my account was being played with a DISC version of the game which belonged to a friend who already had the dedication trophy. Maybe this helps. Maybe the Disc itself can play a crucial role in the trophy?
- Back in January...i used to play Crash site on the map City hall a lot. When i played in July, i played Team elimination on maps such as Sanctuary or Wall street. However, the first match played in Crash site City Hall...BAM, dedication pops. Try to play a game mode and map you used to play a lot.
- Unfortunately, i cannot blow smoke up your arse and tell you that any of these tips will work. These are MY personal experiences as well as very well known and reputable facts (such as the extreme likening for the trophy to pop on Jan 1st).
Thankyou guys for watching the video, i had to celebrate this trophy and raise a glass to a dear friend.
