Talk:Callsigns/Archive 1

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?

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?

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-

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)

Behind Enemy Lines
I got Behind Enemy Lines by getting a ten kill streak with killstreak rewards disabled I earned this emblem last nigh, 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)

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

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 (UTC)

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

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.

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)
