My Frustrating Start with Emblems
Alright so I was grinding MW2 prestige levels like crazy. Felt like I’d been stuck forever. Saw folks online flexing these wild prestige emblems I couldn’t unlock yet. Got impatient. Started digging around, heard whispers about “quick tricks” to unlock ’em all fast. Figured, why not give it a shot myself?

First, I jumped into a private match hoping for some exploit. Tried messing with settings:
- Spammed weapon challenges while changing loadouts mid-match
- Abused decoy grenades near spawn points
- Camped extraction zones in DMZ for hours
Didn’t work. Got absolutely zero progress on emblems. Just wasted 2 hours getting kicked for inactivity twice. Felt stupid.
What Actually Moved the Needle
Switched tactics next day. Focused on specific low-key multiplayer modes nobody plays:
- Grinded knife-only matches in Cyber Attack
- Farm-fested killstreaks on Shoot House 24/7
- Used decoys again BUT paired with tactical insertion
Suddenly noticed emblem challenges creeping up by 3-4% per match. Not huge, but way faster than before. Felt like finding cheat codes written in crayon.
Stupidly Simple Trick That Finally Worked
The real “trick” was way dumber than I expected:

- Ignored camo challenges completely
- Stopped caring about W/L ratios
- Only used weapons I hated (looking at you, RPG)
Played shipment hardpoint like a maniac. Finished matches stupid fast. Progress bars shot up faster than a stimmed operator. Unlocked the final prestige emblem after a 4-hour session of pure chaos. Felt equal parts relieved and exhausted. Game basically rewards throwing logic out the window. Can’t believe this mess actually worked.
