    I've gone through Prestige once and am currently at level 25 or something.

    I'm pretty sure Kev hasn't prestiged yet. Neither has Jon I think. Clive already has a different Boards tag which rules him out, so that leaves maybe Johnny or Ken???

    :confused::confused:

    Can't really remember exactly what level either of those guys are...

    I'll be online a lot tonight also as the missus is off visiting mates for the night. Sweet...

    Eagle Eyes Claiva. Your k:d went from .89 to .91 last night with my help icon7.gif

    and YES, I am addicted.

    Ahah!! I would have guessed Clive just going on the levels, if I didn't get distracted by different Boards tag. It was about what I thought you were at alright. Think Johnny is a bit higher. No idea about Ken.

    See you tonight for some witching!! ;)

    We used Eagle Eye's gamertag most of the evening. I played a while after on my own, it's 1.44. Will be online later.

    I did a few prestiges in MW1 and have no interest in doing it in MW2. It's absolutely meaningless and whatever value it does hold is completely devalued by those who've got there illegitimately.

    I've lost a lot of interest in MW2 also, and want to have the full arsenary of weapons available when I do bother playing it, as opposed to *having* to play to unlock something decent.

    Im nearly at the end of prestige 2 and im not going any further for a few months. Few games coming out next month I will be playing and I want all my guns playing clan matches.

    I prestiged once and I am currently level 49 on my second IIRC.

    I wont be doing it again as I dont see the reason to keep doing it. Everyone is different but it doesnt matter if im prestige 10 level 70.

    Once i get to complete some of the prestige challenges i'll be happy :pac:

    I prestiged the first time and I'm level 69 now and will prestige again. Why? I kinda like the challenge of going through the ranks again... i like blazing through the first 20 levels and then the pain of getting all the weapons etc... Holy crap, maybe I'm a masochist?!? Anywho, I think I'll probably keep going until it ultimately drives me crazy... Doubt I'll get to 10

    Right, OP was a bit of a mess but I'll try and respond.

    People dont have to prestige, 99.9% of level 70 Emblem-rank-comm.jpg people would kick first, second, third...tenth prestige ass at the game!

    Why?

    Because they play it for skill, not for this gold_star.gif

    I personally think EVERYONE should prestige once.

    This goes for the people in this thread.

    Why?

    Because you get more challenges for your weapons & perks (Prestige challenges) and these are a great target for you, like 1,000 kills with a weapon as opposed to just 500 for the standard challenges.

    If I see a lobby full of level 70 Emblem-rank-comm.jpg I know its gonna be a good game, with people who are pretty skilled with their wepons, have all their killstreak layouts set to fully maximise their score and thus creating an all around, harder, but better style of gameplay for the likes of me playing them

    Prestige if you want, don't if you don't want, but for christ sake, don't give out to people who dont play the game the way you want them too.

    I bet if we were to look at peoples XBL / PSN we would see that most (if not all) their played games were not at 100% completed

    So why should this game be any different.

    I personally am not a big fan of 'finishing' games with every single teddybear picked up along the way

    I play for fun..... If I kill a 4th prestige with a toothpick and i'm only level 35, this is what happens.....................
