Modern Warfare 2: Tips and Tricks (updated)
Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 22:51 I'll post the most complete list once it's been 100% confirmed, but in the meantime you can see the work in progress for both titles and emblems at Call of Duty wikia. A big hat tip to KiloFourFoxTrot for pointing me in the right direction. Check out the list of awards and if you think you find one or can verify one of the unconfirmed awards on the list, let one of our websites know.
UPDATE: There still seems to be a few submissions I posted at Call of Duty wikia that have not been published or confirmed yet by them, so I'll go ahead a post the remaining items here until they get added to their post. The ones not listed are:
- Commander Title - Unlocked at level 70
- The Dragon - 50 Pavelows (in prestige?)
- The Domino Effect - set off a chain reaction of explosions, killing an enemy
- The Predator - killed the entire opposing team with one predator missile
- The Flasher - Kill (unsure of amount) so many enemies after they've been flashbanged
- Darkbringer - Destroy 25 Enemy Tactical Insertions (confirmed)
- Full Force - 10 Kills using Danger Close
- Joystick Emblem (my favorite) - Unlocked by completing Free for All III challenge
There was also a few I found that I'm completely unsure of how I achieved them. They may be unlocked at a certain level or perhaps I did something I didn't worthy of an achievement that I didn't even notice. Those would be:
- The Inciser
- Cold Steel
- A Major Pain
- S.B.D. (I'd imagine it was from something related to the silencer)
- 30 Something (Believe it's from Level 30-something AFTER you prestige)
- Last Resort (I believe it was from either a last stand kill or pulling the sidearm to finish an enemy off... not entirely sure on that one)
- Army of One - I believe I got this from completing the One Man Army perk challenge VI
Okay, that should be good for now. Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to add any additional finds in the comment section and I'll be happy to notify the Call of Duty wikia for site with your name mentioned in the find.
Now, back to those cheats:
Museum bonus level
Successfully complete the game to unlock the Museum bonus level. Go to the single player missions, select the new "Museum" mission at the bottom, and choose a difficulty. When the level begins, it is recommended you first study the layout. Get two weapons, and max out your ammunition through the crates supplied. Go to the desks by the entrance to the rooms. On the desks there is a red bell that is labeled "Don't Press". Once you press this button, enemies will begin coming to life in one room area at a time. About thirty people (all characters from the game) will try to kill you. You will hear a sound once that wave is completed. There are two waves of kills needed to complete it. Note: There are three rooms, one of which nothing happens in. Do not bother shooting anyone prior to using the bell, as it will not count.

Act I: Team Player
2. The Intel is in a classroom. Someone will announce "I think I saw one go in that classroom", and your team will go in. It is on the right wall as you enter, on a desk by the barrels.
3. As you exit the school, it is on a crate directly outside, next to a taxi.
Act I: Cliffhanger
4. Directly in front of you when Soap tells you to go ahead alone is a guard tower. Go up the ladder to find the Intel on the catwalk.

6. During the snowmobile sequence, when you are approximately 1850m from the finish, stop. Look for a small wooden fence surrounding some trees in the middle of the path in front of you, and a small wooden building up a hill to the right. The Intel is on the ground inside the fenced area with trees. Just run over the Intel to pick it up.
Act I: Takedown

16. After clearing the small lot (has a bunch of appliances and cars), instead of going right up the stairs between buildings, go left around the three-story house (floors are colored red, yellow, red), and look in the little hut attached to its side to find the Intel on some barrels.
17. As you move up the sloped street, there is a blue car on the right side of the street. In the building on that side is the Intel up on the second floor on the table.

Act II: The Gulag
25. As your team moves towards the arch with the red light, go to the stone stairs before it, and look inside the room on the far wall to find the Intel on some filing cabinets.
26. The Intel is on a desk behind the large wall of monitors you encounter on your way through.
27. After you get the riot shield and leave the room where you got it, turn left, and go down the hallway. In the first open cell on the right-side wall is the Intel on a desk.
28. Once you find the person you have been looking for, turn to your left to find the Intel on the desk.
Act II: Of Their Own Accord
29. Inside the elevator that keeps trying to close (in the hallway after you enter the building), the Intel is to the right of the body sitting inside.
30. In the room with a balcony (out on the balcony is a missile launcher), go to your left as you enter the room, and enter the door straight ahead (near the portrait of Franklin Pierce) to find the Intel on a table down a small hallway.
