Callsigns


 * For callsigns in-game characters have used, see Category:Callsigns.



Callsigns are a feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Similar in appearance to nametags, they show up on screen whenever a player gets a kill, completes an objective and so on. They are very customizable, with at least 594 possible titles in game. Titles can be anything from "F.N.G." to "Suppressor" to "Surgical". With the titles come a visual background that has something to do with the title. Also available for customization are emblems, of which there are 294. Emblems are little more than small pictures that are just another way to distinguish yourself from other players.

Weapon Specific Titles
Some titles are unlocked by completing challenges with specific weapons. It is possible to unlock five separate titles for a weapon, but not every weapon will have all five. The five weapon specific titles are rewarded for:


 * Mastery (all attachments, Maltese Cross)


 * 500 Kills (prestige only, grey)


 * 250 Headshots (prestige only, reticule on head)


 * 2500 Kills (prestige only, silver skulls)


 * 2500 Headshots (prestige only, gold skulls)

Below are examples of the five types of weapon specific titles along with the weapons that are eligible for each type. Note: You can't make Headshots by Launchers so you need Multikills

Prestige Specific Titles
Some titles are only awarded after a player has committed to prestige. Below are the non-weapon specific titles awarded for completing certain challenges or attaining certain levels after starting Prestige mode.

Emblems
**Note: These may be attributed to subsequent or additional challenges that follow the listed title unlock - please confirm
