1000 headshots
2500 kills with each individual weapon(primary and secondary)
up to 750 for some perks(danger close, one man army)
1000 kills with killstreaks
 
Did Korean MMO developers come up with this?(they like-a da grinding) I know IW wanted the game to last but my god, it would take years to get every emblem and title.
Anyone else think its a bit much? Maybe patch it down a little? Or am i asking for too much since they never do crap these days?

some people have too much time and they're willing to do these challenges. i don't see why they should be patched down.  
 
hell, i know someone who got the 1000 kills w/ kill streak challenge

It's how to ensure someone remains a player of the game. Getting the 1000 headshots is nothing. Getting the 2500 however, is. It's not easy, but it's a great way to reward someone for playing the game a ton. Many people enjoy getting these challenges, because it is encouraging to see something you assumed to be difficult done. Some of those challenges are not overwhelmingly difficult. Getting 1000 kills with a Chopper Gunner or AC-130 takes time more than anything, because they're so bloody easy to rack up massive rewards with. Getting headshots is difficult with some guns, such as the ACR, seeing as it has no recoil to adjust into the facial area. With the F2000 though headshots are a doddle, but you don't get the gun for long. 
 
Perks such as Danger Close and One Man Army are not seriously difficult - the real tough one is SitRep. 750 enemy equipment destroyed (Claymores, C4, and Tactical Insertions) to get the emblem for that one. Very few people get that one legitimately. Enjoy the game though, and concern yourself with challenges second. ;) "

The pistol challenges are kinda ridiculous. Nobody is going to kill 2500 people with the USP, for example.

And the sad thing is most of the people who have them cheated in order to get them

those are hard but if you play the game a lot and use the one gun it isn't bad. the most kills i have with the gun is the couple thousand one for emblem, it's the AUG one. 
 
i'm working on getting the mg40, mg240 guns and i'll prestige and work on other guns.

The 1000 kills with any killstreak aren't so bad unless you expect to get all of them. getting 1000 kills with the sentry gun or attack helicopter would be ridiculous. harrier, pavelow, predator missile, chopper gunner, and ac-130 are no big deal. Air strike isnt so bad either.

" The pistol challenges are kinda ridiculous. Nobody is going to kill 2500 people with the USP, for example. "

I have 2500 with almost every weapon I use (5)  and I am only 5th prestige and I have 1000 with predator, Harrier, and Choppergunner.

I have a friend who runs around with them akimbo with stopping power. He's really close to that title. But I agree that they are ridiculous and 98% of people will never get that title. "

Some challenges I feel are a little ridiculous. For instance, getting 40 FMJ kills with the Intervention? I've got probably 200 kills with that gun, and I'm only up to 6. It took me about 760 kills to get Mastery for the M4A1 (although I'm geting better at it, because it took less for the ACR).
 
I also think they should just give you the shotgun attachment, and remove that challenge entirely. Seriously. Why encourage noob tubing?

Almost all of the challenges aren't particularly difficult, just time-consuming. And that's the idea, IW appeal to the completionist in all of us and make us want to keep on playing until every single bar in the challenge pages reads "Done", it's probably the only reason I still play the game, just want to keep on improving my stats and getting more pointless XP from completing the never-ending stream of challenges.
