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:

End of story, the solution has been found:

Put on your 'prestige 10' gold title along with the '10th prestige skull' emblem and get 1000 kills with the ak 47. dont believe me? simply go into split screen, set the game options to minimum health, no health regeneration and spawn kill. when u reach 1000 kills, u will get it. Now u wonder why the ak 47 is unlocked at level 70.

Notice: This can be done online too but this is a quicker way to get it only on your split screen account. you would have to get the kills on your own or boost for them online

It is the combination of these two emblems in conjunction with the 1,000 headers that does it. Hope this helps you guys.


I just finished that today and I didn't receive it. I had the 10th prestige title and emblem on the entire 1000 kills. I got NOTHING!

Well, i happened to be looking on google, and came across this code pasted by IW,

if ( !player playerHasAmmo() )
player processChallenge( "ch_survivor" );

if ( isDefined( player.infected ) )
data.victim processChallenge( "ch_infected" );

if ( isDefined( data.victim.plague ) )
player processChallenge( "ch_plague" );


if ( cardTitle == "cardtitle_infected" )
player.infected = true;

else if ( cardTitle == "cardtitle_plague" )
player.plague = true;

But there is no plague challenge?

Mmmmmm.

YES!!! i got a response from him, not really informative though.

my question: did your QA guy confirm that you can still get the spinning skull?

402's response: Not yet. It's a long process, still waiting for them to complete it. It technically should be the LAST thing you're able to do

it must be really hard. (TWSS)


This really makes it seem like it's completing all challenges, though it is proven false. Because technically completing all challenges is the last thing you're able to do right? Getting AK-47 kills isn't technically the last thing you can do, because people might get all challenges completed with the AK before they do it with the M4A1. Plus if it was just X amount of kills with a certain gun, I think it would be confirmed already, that's not a long process. Maybe after you complete all challenges, another secret challenge is unlocked? Possibly that has something to do with the AK-47?

I swear half of you don't read. If it's a long process it's not going to be the AK kill theory most likely. If the QA knows how to get it (most likely seeing as though he is making sure you can still get it) and it takes him a long time to get it, then what chance do we have of not knowing how to get it and it taking ages to get? many people have been trying since December on all different theories. All of them could not be the right one. 1000 nukes for example. Yeah long process, could be the wrong one though. That's wasted X amount of days trying. Same with another theory. Could waste X amount of days trying that thus making our process A LOT longer than the QA's process. Get it? If it is technically the LAST thing, I can't see it being a certain challenge. You could get them at anytime. Maybe all challenges and a super secret one that unlocks after like siimply dank said. What I think though is that we should stop trying until we get a confirmation that it is unlockable and maybe a hint. We could be following the wrong trail.

I THINK I have found the way. I'm not saying I have, but this a new theory. Yes, it does seem stupid, but it makes some sense in a way...

If you look at the COD4 10th Prestige Spinning Emblem You must login or register to view this content. You'll notice that it spins clockwise (if I'm correct). That emblem is obtained for getting 1000 kills with the AC130.

Now if you look at the Spinning 10th Prestige Emblem for MW2 You must login or register to view this content. You'll notice that it spins anti-clockwise (again, if I'm correct)

Now, going by what I've just said, I believe the way to obtain this emblem is, by getting killed by an AC130 1000 times. Think about it, both emblems are animated (spinning) 1 is obtained for getting 1000 kills with an AC130 and it spins clockwise, so if the other emblem spins anti-clockwise, it should be getting killed by an AC130 1000 times. This would take a very long time, as people don't go out in the open when an AC130 is in-bound. You automatically hide, or try to. So getting killed by it 1000 times would take a very long time.

Again, I'm not saying this is the way, but it just seems to make sense. I know hackers found something to do with the AK-47, but it doesn't mean it's true, does it? If you guys want to try it out, it's up to you.

Way to test this out- If you went into split-screen and made 2 accounts (2 diers) and have 1 killer (with AC130 and e-drops unlocked)

You put it on SnD in Rust. with all the settings modified.

Then, kill 1 player many, many, many times. Every time you get an AC130 on him, kill yourself and repeat. Just keep stacking AC130s. Also, collect any AC130s you get from e-drops. Stop when you think you have enough AC130s.

Then, make the first dier change teams to your team and leave the other dier on the enemy team (should be a new account with 0 deaths) and just keep using AC130s on it and kill it only with an AC130. Keep repeating until it has 1000 deaths (they should all be AC130 deaths).

I don't know if it makes any sense to you lot, but I know what I mean, I just can't explain it well.
