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:

Ye according to the pc version coding of MW2 you must complete the ak74 challenge (4 i believe), which doesn't exist atm. So if you cant complete the challenge you cant receive the reward (spinning skull emblem).

I think the extra challenge will come with an extra patch in my opinion.

Good ideea, as all killstreaks but 1000 EMP's and 1000 Nukes have their own challenges.

man this is really starting to get annoying, 402 says its unlockable but wont say how. if he is lying that would be really annoying, seeing as all the effort people make on finding out. but about the marksman ak 4 code, this code was made waaaaaaay early when they started making the game, so has most likely been changed. but for all the mw2 matches that has been played, all the actions that has been performed its still not known how to unlock it legit. and what i wonder is that at first in the challenge lobbies, this was the only emblem not to unlock, now that its a sticky everyone gets it when the host has it. so maybe its not a (hidden) challenge but something really random that you have to do, or something in the museum or what ever. aaaahhh i want to know this is pissing me off.

Maybe complete all spec ops before the IW best time? It doesn't have to be multiplayer to unlock it.

I have read the previous pages and have heard the code references the AK47, but I was told (by someone who works on COD games) that the spinning skull emblem is unlocked by 10th prestigious + completing prestige specific challenges.

I've heard this has been proved false from people on Youtube, but the only video I see that has everything completed had to have been hacked.

His online stats are not even close enough to have completed all the challenges. Stats @ approx 1 min in.

So, are there other videos on Youtube that show 100% complete without hacking? Possibly you have to get to 10th prestige and complete all the prestige challenges, and have a score that makes sense at that level...


theres a video of a guy who boosted every challenge No emblem but anyway the game itself cannot tell the difference whether its legit or a hack.

I really wanted to earn this emblem even though its been tainted by hackers but with Cod:Black Ops Coming out soon the challenge necessary to unlock this is probably to ridiculous to complete by then.:cry:
