A lot of people are posting the same theories and mixing up the emblem with the COD4 one. The COD4 one, which is shown below is obtained through the Spectre IV challenge completion:

THIS IS NOT THE EMBLEM IN QUESTION. The emblem we're trying to unlock is this one:

According to 402, this emblem is obtainable in the game without hacking or modding. Proof of him saying this is shown on his Twitter account as well as the pictures below:

So now that you all know what emblem we're looking for, here are some of the THEORIES that people have thought of and proven to be wrong. Also, no one has obtained this emblem without hacking the game.


THEORIES IN THE TRASH:

Complete all Prestige challenges: FALSE. This is not the way to unlock the emblem and here is YouTube proof of someone completing all of them - [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnM-kZud2QQ"]Complete all Prestige Challenges[/ame] (Start the video at 1:05 to see proof)

Complete all Challenges in the game: FALSE. Even people who use JTAG to get all titles and emblems do not obtain the spinning skull emblem. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=510BC0Tq76k"]Complete all Challenges[/ame]
The game doesn't know the difference between hack and legit.

All Achievements Unlocked: FALSE.
100% Completion on Campaign, Spec Ops , Multiplayer (1100%): FALSE.
YouTube proof for both: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VClFA6kaMak"]Complete all achievements and trophies[/ame]

1000 AC-130 kills: FALSE. Like I said before, that unlocks the COD4 emblem. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnWtFys1fIs"]AC-130 + COD4 Spinning Emblem[/ame]

1000 Nuke kills *Not call in 1000 Nukes*: FALSE. YouTube proof: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMpUTGpG-Gk"]1000+ Nuke Kills[/ame] (Average kills with a nuke is say 6-9 per game. This would take approximately 112 nukes but if you want to be realistic and say 6 kills per game, you would call in about 167 nukes)

X amount of Days/Kills/Wins: FALSE. We have all seen the leaderboards, which is flooded with hackers that have over 100+ days of gameplay, killstreaks, or win streaks. YouTube Proof: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei4d_pWdHHc"]X Amount of Days Played, Kills, Wins[/ame]

Get killed by an AC130 1000 times: FALSE (Thanks to You must login or register to view this content.-Thank him You must login or register to view this content.)

[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqJLxTbTuP8]YouTube - 1000 AC130 Deaths[/ame]

Complete all HIDDEN Challenges: Hackers have pretty much found all of the hidden challenges in the game and completed them. The game doesn't consist of many hidden challenges and even if it was a hidden challenge, then modded game lobbies would unlock every challenge despite it being hidden.

So there's the few theories many of us have gone through in order to get this emblem, and thus far, we're pretty much out of luck and ideas. Hackers have looked into the .csv (game codes) to find something that may stand out, and so far the only thing they found is the following:

"level 70 and pr_marksman_ak47_4"

You have to be level 70 to unlock the AK47, unfortunately the Marksmen challenge only goes upto 3 (III), which doesn't help us at all.

It also doesn't have anything to do with any of the DLC content as 402 said that the emblem was obtainable on the PS3 way before the first DLC came out.

Post any new theories you guys have. We're going to find out how to get this emblem!

Also, please refrain from posting theories that have already been proven wrong. We need NEW ones.

Remember the forum rules. For your convenience, I've posted a link to them:

Ok just to blow hole in said video

At time 0:45 did not have title L86 light mac gun silver title (Note when he get's to the "Emblems he said he did all but one title so this is why he didn't get it, I feel this is worng)

At time 2:23 Needs one more kill for the ranger Marksman challeange meaning 2499 kills, But has done the Ranger: Vereran III Challeange which you need 2500 kill's can you see the problem here?

How can you have 2500 kills to do the Ranger Veteran Challange, but still need 1 kill to get the Ranger Marksman Challenge???, the maths are wrong here, Can some one please tell me how you get 2500 kills, on one challenge, but only get 2499 kills on a different challenge for the same gun when you need 2500 kills to unlock both challenges?

If the maths don't work out, and the video shows what you need to do to get the Veteran Challange, and what you need to get the Marksman Challenge, I just can't put much beliff in the whole video.#

So itzbigant91, can you now show me a video of a ligit fully unlocked challeanges for every thing, emblems, title, and so on and still not have the spinning 10th emblem??

notice that prestige challenges DO NOT reset so he can get the 2500 and complete the Veteran challenge at ANY prestige.

he is showing people that its not obtainable when completing all non-prestige challenges too when u are at 10th prestige, not just every prestige challenges; including weapons.

What about all challenges completed with all accolades have to have 1000 each.

trust me, no one out of all these players will ever get 1000 of the warming up, near sighted and a few other accolades. doubt it would be a combination of completing two seperate things. like 1000 nukes and 1000 emp.

it might be something like the hidden challenge sidekick (get three kills in a life with a secondary weapon) and also 6fears7. so maybe think along the lines of the ak 47 and what can be done, possibly relating to '4'. right now im leaning towards it not able to be unlocked at all and some sort of hidden challenge.

by the way, general question; did someone find all of the hidden challenges or did infinity ward confirm all of them?

I have just found out that the 10 killstreak with no rewards equipped was a hidden challenge, I didn't know that was a hidden one (I found it on the COD wikia and did the challenge cause I liked the emblem, thought it was a regular challenge). But if they have one hidden challenge having to do with no killstreak rewards equipped I'm actually starting to think my theory could be right. Could be 1000 kills with no killstreak rewards equipped or a certain streak without rewards equipped. Or possibly 1000 killstreaks (2+) with no killstreak rewards equipped.

And as far as I know the ak47 thing was found in the scrapped files. Along with global thermonuclear war. The ak47 thing just stood out. And the 4th prestige thing can't be right because that'd be completely unfair.

Im not sure if these have been mentioned, but
because u can get any kills by useing emp, how bout a killing 1000 ppl in total when emp is in effect,
or
I know this would take for ever, but do all challenges on every prestige, and 402 did say it takes detication, so why not this.
I AM NOT SUGGESTING TO TEST THIS, IT IS A THOUGHT.
thanks and rep

Well as everyone can see in the emblems menu, the 10th spinning skull is along with all of the prestige challenges, and maybe, you need to get 1000 kills with no killstreak rewards used? Maybe that's why they give you the ability to not use any (at least I think you don't need to have any equipped). And 1000 kills with no killstreaks equipped sounds like it could be a challenge. And it would explain why nobody has unlocked this emblem, because who would go 1000 kills without killstreaks xD.
Or get a certain killstreak with no killstreaks equipped.

Edit*- I don't believe ak-47 challenges on 4th prestige is correct, because I don't think they'd make people suffer for going past 4th prestige.


I have like 10,000 kills with no kill streak rewards. When i do my headshots in Cagematch.
