In order to qualify for a badge you must fulfil the criteria listed below in a single game. Unlike the feat awards you can die before completing the badge and you will not lose your progress towards it.
You can view your current badge stats by selecting "Dropship" from the main game menu, then select "Awards". Please note that the game is often slow to update the details on this page. If you don't see a badge you know you've obtained just try looking again later on.
There are 32 badges in total split into 4 groups. Listed below are each group, the badges within that group, and how to obtain them (using the in-game descriptions).
If you're unsure about any of the criteria listed, or you have any tips on how best to obtain a specific badge, please post a comment and I will either try to help you out or add your tip to the guide
A couple of the badges below may have confusing criteria. These are "Point Offense - Get 8 Attacks" and "Guardian - Protect friendly control points with 8 Defenses or Denials".
These are related to obtaining kills when at a control point. To get an "Attack" you and an enemy must be standing in range of a neutral or enemy controlled control point (basically standing on the circular "base" of the control point) when you get the kill. The combat message in the lower right of the screen should say you got an "Offense". You will need 8 of these in a match to get the badge.
The "Defenses" and "Denials" are pretty similar to the above but must be done on a friendly control point (one your team controls). A "Defense" will be when you and your enemy are standing in the control point when you get the kill. A "Denial" will be when the enemy is currently hacking your control point and you get the kill.

If the achievement progress shows all 32, but you don't have the achievement, I won't be able to offer any help unfortunately.

There are 32 badges total in the game, and they all need to be achieved in ranked matches. Remember you need at least 4 people in a match be able to achieve badges and experience. You can view your badges under dropship from the main menu, then awards. You can boost these in a ranked match as well, just invite a friend to your ranked match. Here's a spreadsheet by Wulfaur to keep track of which ones you need.

No longer possible to be earned due to server closure.
You must earn each of the following in ranked matches (requires four human players to qualify as ranked) to earn this trophy. Just work down the list and do the next one on the list. Switch off which team is going for badges, and which one is dying for the team going for the badges. If done correctly you should be able to boost all of these along with all ranked trophies in the game in less than 8-10 hours for all four of you. For all but one of the badges you should set the custom match to medium difficulty (which makes killing VIP’s and such easier), and with no bots, 8 players. For one of the matches (total) set it to 12 players with bots balanced, and work on killing all of the bots (not each other). Once you can get the heavy do so. All four of you should be in the top two (three for the badge). You can see which badges you have earned in the dropship, however, there is a delay, and it says that I don’t have one of them even though it was the last one I needed for this trophy.
Only descriptions for the non obvious ones. The team that is currently going for the badges will be referred to as team A, and the team that is helping team A get the badges is team B. Switch each round by going into “spectator” mode, then joining your same teammate each time to keep it even:
Combat
Specialist: Kill 8 players with equipment (20 XP) – Use the knife to also get Blades ‘n ‘Nades
Point Offense: Get 8 Attacks (20 XP) – Have team B capture one CP and have team A kill them by the CP
Armor Combat: Kill 8 players with the Heavy Armor (20 XP)
Infantry Combat: Kill 20 players (30 XP)
Anti-Vehicular Combat: Destroy 3 vehicles (30 XP) – Go after convoys as well using rocket launcher and det packs (see Goal Oriented for details on how to control which DCM’s come up)
Retaliation: Get 4 Avenges (20 XP) – Have team B kill one of team A, followed by the other team A killing that team B member… repeat five times for each player
Tank Combat: Kill 8 players with a Tank (20 XP) – Combine with Steam Roll and Test Drive (the four for the tank)
Marksman: Kill 15 players with non-vehicle Weapons (20 XP)
Conquest
Objective Support: Assist in the capture of 4 Control Points (20 XP) – You have to let your teammate hack the CP, then you stick around until it is captured. This is easiest on a map with 4 CP’s having team B two behind team A doing the same thing. Repeat for the other player (switch hack and stay)
Conquer: Capture 4 Control Points (30 XP) – Just have one team A player stand by a Team B player by a CP and wait until you both get four complete captures (consider doing Sapper here too since you will only need four more hacks)
Enduring Service: Complete a game (must have been in 30% of the game) (10 XP)
Distinguished Service: Finish at least 3rd place in a game with 12 or more players (15 XP) – See main description above
Guardian: Protect friendly Control Points with 8 Defenses or Denials (20 XP) – Team A captures a CP while team B burns in and stands in front of the same CP (no need to attempt a hack) eight times for each team A player
Sapper: Hack 8 Control Points (30 XP) – You do not need to capture the CP, just successfully hack it. Hack back and forth while standing next to each other
Honorable Service: Finish a game with the highest teamwork score of your team (20 XP) – This will happen naturally
Battlefield Victory: Win a game with your team (must be in 30% of the game) (40 XP) – Team A will get this
