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:

Did you not read my post?

It's not on the front page in that exact form.
It's also an amalgamation of the theories posted in this thread.

And yes I read the first page.
That's why I don't make dumb**** remarks like the one you just made.

I think we need to know, rather speculate, if the challenge is a grinding one or just a one time thing. Most of the theories revolve around the emblem being unlocked by grinding but I think it could be unlocked by doing a specific thing once. Then again it would have been unlocked by now.

well youve heard (thought) wrong. about half the people have played 20 days.

now what if u completed them pre-10th prestige? would it be impossible to get? 1000 of warming up and shooting your own team mates? cmon man. u would have to suck so bad for u to have ever 2 of those. people gotta think these things through.

OMG all these new people in the thread Not Happy or Sad
first off please read the first page, second most people have been on this thread for months (like me).
we all know what is wrong and right. so please stop throwing in these random theories that have already been proven wrong.
yes in the game code it says PR_marksmans_iv_ak_47 which means PRESTIGE marksmen, this only goes to 3, so the emblem is just probably bugged. so dont say all this in the thread like its new, we all know it for ages.Claps

anways im starting to lean towards the fact that its an awarded emblem and not one that can be unlocked through gameplay. We will probably never know or find out when no one cares about it anymore.

i bet its something really stupid ie: something we are all overlooking thats more obvious than it seems because in the 402 tweet he answered the guy like a joke as if it was really funny and we were all overlooking something or...
it's something near impossible; 10 flawless games w/ +10 KD in a row, etc
