Talk:Callsigns/Archive 1

I dont know who said killing me would get you a title But killing SOLDGAMBLE does NOT give you a title, I dont have any idea about how to get the "hello my name is..." title please change ur list to take my Gamer tag off it thank you

A lot of people have been adding random callsigns to this page. Should we make it so it's confirmation only? 18:23, November 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Technically people shouldn't be adding information about the game that hasn't been officially released yet anyway. Moozipan Cheese 18:40, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

K Factor and Headrush
I received the "K Factor" title before I had 1000 kills total, let alone 1001 penetration kills. Are we sure that's not supposed to be 101 penetration kills? Also, "Headrush" may have something to do with killstreaks. I received both "Headrush" AND "Streaker" after a 22-0 Domination game. Maybe "Streaker" is 10 kills without dying and "Headrush" is 20?

^sure as hell didnt get a 20 kill streak and have headrush

^K factor was orginally listed here as 100 Penetration kills before some loser changed it too 1001, which is definatly wrong.

Men Raising Iwo Jima Flag
It says it's rewarded alongside the "Blood Brothers" title. But I have the "Blood Brother" title but not that emblem. So is it unconfirmed? TAK The Voyager 02:29, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

I won this by planting bomb and winning a match of sabotage

Same here, i have blood brother but i dont have the iwo jima emblem. i guess i'll try what this guy said and plant a bomb to win in sabotage n hopefully that'll work. anybody else have any ideas?

I received it after killing the bomb carrier in a game of S&D, can anyone confirm? 86.4.11.52 22:31, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Added Picture Support
I added an additional column for a picture of each title. I put the Armed and Dangerous title as a test, you can delete that with a better one if necessary. I have already seen some additions to the article which is great! Eventually we can get rid of the Image column as we have all the pictures.

These are called Titles
Why cant we search them by titles, I was confused cause i couldn't find them for more than an hour, I even started making my own category cause i could find this page, we need to be able to find this by Titles as well as Call Signs

How about information about what unlocks each?
 * That'd be great, but half the time I have no idea why I got a particualar callsign. I received 'destructive' or something for firing missiles at UAVs, though.
 * This is just guessing and forum crawling, but-
 * Page 1

1. FNG - Default callsign, 2. S.S.D.D. - Reach Private class, 3. Sgt. - Reach Sergent class, 4. 1st Sgt. - Reach First Sergent class, 16. Flyswatter - Shoot down an enemy helicopter or airplane
 * Page 5

18. Overwatch - Call in X number on UAVs,

Organization
I can see a lot of activity going on at this page, and because of the multitude of discoveries it seems the buzz will continue. I'd suggest organizing it in some manner now before it gets to be very time-consuming. I'm not sure, but it seems some are unlocked from challenges, and others from leveling up. Maybe we can make a collapsible table (or something similar) including acquisition and appearance? Myko Ducor 02:31, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I was thinking about organizing the titles by their groups, like a group for the titles with the snowmobile backdrop, a group for the rank titles, a group for the titles with the bullet backdrops, etc. but that might just make the list more cluttered up since to my knowledge there are only maybe four or five title groups that have the same backdrops. Organizing the titles by the pages that they're on might work well (unless the pages are different on different platforms, then that wouldn't be a good idea). We do need to make a table, though, with columns Title, maybe Appearance, and how to get it. Maybe we could sort them out into their background groups in the table, and leaving a space in the table to separate different groups? ~Mp5shooter

UPDATE: To whoever made the table, very nice work, and thank you very much. ~Mp5shooter

Yeah, you needed a table so I made a small program which converted it into one. :p IntelOrca 19:27, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Good lord this page has gone to hell. I used to be proud of my little creation, now it looks like it ran away and started doing crack. Well, maybe not that bad. Here's my suggestion - make it into a table like this. I don't think we should do it now, since people will just add things and screw it up, but wait until we have a source that includes all title names, background images, and unlock requirements. It'll take a hell of a long time to do, but I think the end result will be the best we can make it. 05:37, November 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * What we really need is for someone to get into the PC game files and see which titles are unlocked when, and how.--WouldYouKindly 05:42, November 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * That, WYK, would be great. I've never been much of a "files" PC guy, so it won't be me.  There's got to be someone on the wiki who can do it.  05:51, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's looking much better, thanks to all who helped bring my creation back from the brink. Still more work to be done though, don't stop now! 03:30, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Excellent work, whoever made the table. That's what I had in mind, and keep it up! Myko Ducor 23:43, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Tons of guesswork
Is there any way someone can get into the game files on the PC version and tell us what is unlocked when? It'd save a lot of time and effort.--WouldYouKindly 04:38, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

flags…
I have thought that it might be a good idea to make the lists of the flags alphabetical. This would have been taken into effect by the time anyone reads this. Thanks, Attack Rhino 06:33, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Corrections/Questions about Callsigns/Titles
Is "Impaler" correct? I've never gotten a kill by throwing a knife at someone, and I have that Title.

i think impaler is just regular stabbing someone

its probably for hitting someone with the grenade launcher enough times. i.e. direct impact. 24.3.157.238 19:46, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

I suspect impaler is just for either total melee kills, knife/riot shield etc, or total in one round. I got it after going on a stab frenzy... got about 15 knife kills in one round. Used nothing but knife and killstreak awards... which predators. I can confirm Dishes are Done as getting a payback kill with a claymore. UN REAL  15:43, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Bandolier title is unlocked by picking up 250 satchels with the scavenger perk. Thanks, added. --Mp5shooter 23:51, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Catch Scrapnel is achieved after Claymore Shot I, but its 5, not 1 kill with claymore !

So, can anyone confirm that the Pro Gambler title unlocks after completing the Air to Ground: III challenge? ParallaxFallout 19:03, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Behind Enemy Lines
I got Behind Enemy Lines by getting a ten kill streak with killstreak rewards disabled I earned this emblem last night, it can be confirmed

How to get these titles and emblems?
does any body know how to get these titles? -So Baked (or totally baked, i don't know what its called) -the title under Joint Ops and above Blunt Trauma emblems: -Marijuana leaf thank you in advance

72.47.76.195 06:03, November 19, 2009 (UTC) Yes, joint ops is killing enemy through smoke grenade cloud, blunt trauma is killing two enemys with riot shield, im trying to find leaf emblem too 72.47.76.195 06:03, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

On the images in the bottom of this article, on emblems page 2, fifth row, sixth column, there is a helmet with a norwegian flag on it. Does anyone know how to achieve that?

Removal of 'Image' Column
I added some pictures for the callsigns, I have a lot so I'll make more soon, just takes awhile.

But now that we have an actual image of the titles we don't really need a column explaining their description. I think we should just merge the image/picture columns into one so that the titles that don't have an actual image still have a description for the time being. Techtater 03:10, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * It should be a rule that images have no names. I don't care if you want to brag.

You could actually show thumbnails of the titles in the image column, and only have descriptions for the ones that don't have an uploaded image yet. IntelOrca 16:06, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Hello my name is... ???
What happened to it in the article, I also want to know how you get it.

Thanks
I would like to thank the people who help getting this list complete!

I've added some too ("Big Bada Boom", "Epic") and edited the image description and how to get for those titles i knew and didn't have any text in them.

Let's get this list completed :D

Also i would really like to know how to get "My little pwny"

Greetings Akatsuki Cybi

Akatsuki Cybi 14:55, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the table :). I'm gonna get some pictures of these titles to post on the table :D

My little pwny is only available after prestiging, that is all i know.

Images
I'm going to upload all the Titles i have at the moment. Akatsuki Cybi 17:56, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

That's really alot of work xD Akatsuki Cybi 18:39, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

There are too many.. I'm going to upload them tomorrow.. I see there are already more Images :D Akatsuki Cybi 18:48, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been uploading a few as well now... Hope I'm not screwing up your superbeautiful table here ladies... I read the rules on the page and made sure I followed them. Xzabre 21:01, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

What the
Okay, something just happened to the article, and I don't know what. Someone reverse the screwup please? >.> --Mp5shooter 22:24, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, never mind, it's back to normal. --Mp5shooter 22:25, November 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, a vandal decided to make the page his personal playground. He does it again, he's blocked.--WouldYouKindly 22:26, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok, thanks for letting me know. --Mp5shooter 23:33, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Know how to get this emblem?
Anyone know or could find out how to get the Rotating Modern Warfare Green Star emblem? Dolten 23:27, November 16, 2009 (UTC) Well I got it on my second nuke. But I think I got a few challenges done when I did that, like kill the entire enemy team in 10 seconds and one other challenge.

Here are the emblems and call signs, straight out of the game:

emblems: http://www.2graphik.com/mw2/emblems.php titles: http://www.2graphik.com/mw2/index.php


 * Those are good titles, but they don't have the names on them. :\ --Mp5shooter 01:33, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry amigo. The engine puts the text on ingame, so that they can re-use backgrounds for different callsigns. I'll try to look into it tomorrow.

Callsign and Emblem pictures
I think it would be a better idea if someone who modded MW2 (So you unlock everything) took the callsign and emblem pictures. There are major differences in picture quality now and it looks pretty sloppy that way, especially since some picture were taken with a mobile phone.

[EDIT]: I see someone has been uploading quite a few titles, apart from the blatant advertising that's in those pictures they are missing the actual titles. Someone should get some clean images, without spam and have the proper title in them.
 * I agree with this. Those title images that have the advertising and don't even have the title name on them need to be removed, and REAL ones used. --Mp5shooter 19:59, November 17, 2009 (

you get it from setting of a nuke

Formatting
Whenever people decide to add new titles and such, could you please follow the formatting? I didn't put them in a table, but I did the first set, (bold name, italic picture description etc.) and now that there is a table and it looks amazing, we now have 3 random out of order titles at the bottom and it looks like garbage. I don't know how to put them in the table, and my laptop wont let me change editing modes for some reason. If you can help with that thanks, and if you can put the other titles in the table in alpha order, it will look even better.

TF141 Emblem
Anyone know how it's unlocked? - 99.251.107.99 04:20, November 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I got it, but I don't know how.

Ripping images?
I have a lot of images I can upload but how do you rip HQ images easily

- Easiest done on a PC, either through image files if you can find em, or the Print Screen button. PS3 or Xbox users could take pictures of the TV, but unless you have 1. A good camera and 2. A HD TV to minimize fuzz, its not recommended. --The-Dreamcaster 13:12, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

I think all pictures should come from one source only, to eliminate crappy self shot pictures etc.

The Legend
The Legend icon is apparently a horizon with three men on horses. Could this be implying that the Three Horsemen have come and gone, and that you are either about to experience the last or that you are the last Horseman?

alpha order only please
whenever people add a new title. could you please post it in alphabetical order? Everything else is, then there is one "s" title by itself at the bottom. I would but I'm at school. thanks

1st lieutenant title
Does anyone know what level you unlock the First lieutenant title at?

Major update incoming
I'll upload ALL Emblems and ALL callsigns now as a gallery, get ready to update information on confirmed titles. --Taki 16:25, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * There you go, have fun editing all the titles in ^^ --Taki 16:49, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed pictures for following reasons: a) don't need tons of files when a gallery is there to look at callsigns b) half of the pictures aren't pictures but rather vague word-descriptions c) 3/4 of the actual pictures have site advertising on them and d) images are inconsistent in size and quality.
 * I didn't remove emblems because they don't have "names" to be identified with in the galleries. ~TAKI

Protection?
Should we semi-protect this? The page has gone from half-organized and degraded from there now. I've seen multiple references to personal experience in the article over the past week. I never thought this would be the page that would be swamped... Could've sworn it would be one of the new weapons or perks. CirChris  -Here to help! Fading  Fast... 02:49, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * I second that; how many times have I undone vandalism on this page? Please move protection from none to autoconfirmed, if there aren't any objections. Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk 05:23, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Im all for protecting this page. I have an account but im at school so thats why im unregistered 97.77.37.10 14:50, November 19, 2009 (UTC)welsh


 * Done. I would have had an aneurysm anyway if I'd had to undo one more first-person statement.--WouldYouKindly 21:47, November 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great :D Btw, I haven't heard the word "aneurysm" since I used it like 2 years ago. Overused it is more like it... 72.195.147.117 00:05, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

All Pro Title
It says that you have to get 2 collateral headshots but this is false. yesterday i was play karachi and got a collateral shot with the famas. the person in front got headshoted while the one in the back got a body shot. i was shocked at the end of the game when i got the title because I only got 1 headshot in my collateral.

Velociraptor Talon
The Velociraptor Talon is received when you get payback killing someone with a throwing knife. add it, i'm 100% sure on this...

Corrections
Hello,

I've put together my own list and been trying to help fix some (i.e. when somebody says you need 50 of something, when I know I have 70 of it and it's still not unlocked) of the corrections, along with adding new things.

What do I need to do to be able to make changes?

One I just found:

Big Brother = 3 UAVs in one match, I think once you have the Intimidation challenges unlocked + level 63 or 64 since only 1/2 are unlocked at first.

Also:

I.C.E. Man = I just got the "Shoot 3 C4 for kills" so this has to be related since it has the same design as Plastique and that was related to C4/Claymores

EDIT: N/m I registered thanks

Add images next to description?
I think this page would be much more helpful with an images column next to the description and name of each title. I can cut out the title images from the screen caps we have pretty quickly for this. If this is something we want to do let me know and I'll upload the individual title images somewhere.


 * I agree, I greatly prefer this to the galleries. We tried it before but because of all the unregistered contributers things got screwed up.  But if we can have a consistent source for every title image then I think it would work.  00:33, November 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * The page is protected now so feel free to re-add the pics.--WouldYouKindly 00:35, November 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay give me a day or two and I'll have it updated.--Elementalfiend


 * I've finished sorting out the images for all of the titles. All the images are equal size/quality to keep things clean. How do I get permission to edit this page now that it is protected? I am thinking it would be best to organize the titles by type ( general titles, weapon specific titles, prestige specific, nationality flags, ect ).--ElementalFiend 22:54, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Mad Man
Get 5 revenge kills with frag grenades (Bang For Your Buck: I challenge)

Have this callsign and haven't even unlocked that challenge. Only 16 grenade kills total, I doubt 5 of them were revenge kills.


 * i got the challenge without it being unlocked, it appeared on my screen and everything, then after the match finished, i was awarded it.

Blademaster
Blademaster callsign is achieved by getting 250 knife kills after unlocking the prestige achievements.

I also got the The Great White North, which is on a canadian flag Neutral, which is on a swiss flag The Exterminator, which is on a flag, but I can't tell which.

Question about Rotating Skull emblem.
Is ^this emblem the emblem we saw in the Flag runner trailer? (I mean rotating gold-plated 10th prestige icon) How to unlock this: The guy who made the callsign screens, didn't unlocked it ("the locked padlock one") Morihaus 06:44, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

deleting
why do people keep deleting the images of callsigns? It is getting on my nerves. 58.185.104.71 06:52, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

toxic
lose by tac nuke

Stopping Power Pro Emblem
I got the Stopping Power Pro Emblem when I completed the Stopping Power Pro: VI challenge (the last one which is for killing 1,000 people with Stopping Power Pro).

I'm leaving this here because you folks doing the modding have prohibited a common folk like myself from adding it in like I did with 3 other emblems.

Soooo...just an FYI if someone could add that in or however you'll do it. I'm new to the whole wikia thing due to laziness before. Don't know if there's some submission form some place. Sorry if there is.

ParallaxFallout 12:26, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Suppressor Title and AC130 Flare Emblem
The description for the Suppressor title has to be incorrect. I have several thousand kills total with 80% coming from a silenced gun yet I still only have "Silent Strike" and "Invisible."

In addition, you unlock the AC130 ejecting flares emblem (can be seen on page 1 of emblems, last emblem column 6) alongside the "Death from Above" title when getting the last kill of a game with an AC130.

Hopefully this helps.

64.234.29.50 16:35, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Epic has an error, please change.
The callsign Epic is given after unlocking and completing the Crab Meat challenge (Kill 10 enemies with a single killstreak), not after killing everyone on the enemy team under 10 seconds as stated now. That is given by completing Omnicide challenge as stated correctly on the page.

I can confirm this as I've gotten Crab Meat and the Epic title before and I just got Omnicide now.

'''"My Name Is..." Title

I have no idea who thought killing SoldGamble would give you this title, it doesnt. I logged on today to over 500 friends request and triple that of messages. I have no Idea how to get that title. Please fix your list and take me off of it. Thank you. == ==

Pop Off Title
It's listed already as "Pop Off - Complete SMG Head Shot II". Leaving this to say that is indeed when it unlocked for me. Don't know how confirming things works if that's up to the people that run this or just verification by others. ParallaxFallout 18:31, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

catch shrapnel
just got a claymore kill and didn't unlock it /: also, unlocked a motorcycle as an emblem, and it's either got something to do with the tar acog challenge or the last resort challenge (or something else?). Zombiekisser 19:52, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Still playing away, but my list already has a few that aren't on here"

Commander (earned at level 70) The Inciser (???) Cold Steel (???) The Domino Effect (I believe I got this when I caused a series of explosions to kill multiple enemies...  not confirmed though... just going on memory) SBD (???  got it with a silence, but unsure of the details) The Flasher (Killing people you flashbang - unsure of exact number) Last Resort (???) The Great White North (Canadian flag with title) ??? Neutral (Swiss flag w/title) ???

I haven't gone through the emblems list yet, but will do later, perhaps tonight. I'll keep looking for more, and thanks for this checklist, it's helped immensely. Thanks for all the work you people put into this!

MOAB - Full Throttle
Full Throttle - call in 50 armed helicopters - confirmed (Just got it)

MOAB - Complete Ultimate Sacrifice challenge (Use a nuke when you're team is losing) - Confirmed. MOAB currently says Use a nuke which is incorrect, you do get a spinning green star though

Any way to authorize me to edit these pages? It's really tedious having to leave a message and hope some admin type sees it.

Also Mastodon is listed twice.

Pessleifi 23:25, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Impaler
Just to let you know, impaler is listed twice, once as Impaler and once as The Impaler. The last one is wrong. Mystzombie 23:58, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

I got the Title "Global Thermonuclear War" when I set off my first Nuke.

I got the Title "Thermonuclear War" when I set off my second Nuke.

I thought it was odd that I got Global at the first and not the second as Global Thermonuclear War sounds more impressive.

If you check your list, you have them both at second Nuke

1 point wrong (and probably a few more) in the wiki: You get excalibur at commando VI, not at 100 knife kills.

anyone know how to get then emblem with the monkey with the crown on ??

The title Sarge
