Question about prestige

tbh

Ok, not sure of the best way to explain this.

Let's say for arguments sake that you hit level 70 at 100K XP, and you get offered the choice to prestige or not, and you decide not to.

Lets say that you if you had prestiged, you get to level 2 at 105K XP.

So, you play on non-prestige for a bit, get to 107K XP and then decide to prestige. Do you automatically level up, or is it only the points you earn after you prestige that count?

i get what your trying to ask but no the more experience you take in to prestiging does not cause you to start at say level 10 you begin again at level 1 with nothing!!

Nalz

And only for the Ump45 I'd be proper flucked! Just getting a positive K/D ratio in TDM or FFA will do me to begin with

Fact, you don't get to "save" XP before prestieging, and use them later.

You start back to a zero (Level 1) and need so much XP before going onto Level 2. Same as starting the game first day, but with a different Badge is all.

cheers lads. A hard decision to make shortly

ditto - i just got to level 70 yesterday - 40k XP and i've got to choose

i'm leaning towards re-setting, if only to keep it interesting and to get an additional custom slot

Push that button mate , nothing worse than seeing a rank 70 with 5 stars .
You get an extra create a class which i find invaluable , If your unsure about it just do it the once , you'll find yourself playing better at rank one because you feel you have to try a bit harder, the only thing i find a bit unfair is ninja isnt given till 29 , but other than that you have got 2 great guns in the famas and the ump .
Good luck

push it push it push it push it push it..........no pressure

lol nooooo dont push it, i did and i regret it !! now i just get pwn'd by campers and n00btubes, no ninja or cb for HC....
and i don't play as often any more, so i'm unlocking perks really slowly,
go for it if you have time on your hands and will play regularly, for me i don't, so i'm sorry i prestiged !

Nalz

I am too, I miss my claymores and AK47!

uggy

I always reset when possible. The sooner (if...) I get to 10, I'll get to enjoy the AK forever.

Think I'm around 66/7 after my first prestiege, so hopefully sometime in the next week.

I did my first prestige last week. At first I regretted it cos I had to use the FAMAS again... but now I'm on level 8 (I think) already after playing for about 3 hours and I find that it's more challenging and you really have to rethink your style again.
It is a good feeling when you kill someone with all the perks/weapons and you're there with the FAMAS though!

The worst part is not having cold blooded, so when air support is called in, you really have no choice but to hide!

Nalz

It will be the first and last time I do it I'd say. I'm not the greatest at the game. At 4days my k/d is below 1.0 (.84 I think) so I can't afford to do without an ACR / AK or even the SCAR.

El Guapo!

Im only on level 29 so Im a long way off prestige mode but Im just wondering..........What is the point in prestige??
What benefits (if any) are there??

MiCr0

extra challenges, extra custom slot and some new titles

Twilightning

Level 23 6th prestige here, definitely worth it! It's a shame to see all that XP go to waste. What I really want is the 9 Lives title you get at 9th prestige. That and all the extra class slots are really worth having! I'll have 9 when I hit 7th prestige.

SCAR is unlocked at level 8, so you'll get it pretty quick!

I just checked and I unlocked the Vector last night, so I must be at level 12. The Vector is actually pretty damn good. Just a pity about the range, so I wouldn't use it on wasteland, but on the other maps it works great.

I'm the opposite , that is a great gun for wasteland .

Really? The range is pretty bad, so in the open it's not going to do you much good. You must be constantly in the fox holes?

If i was you i wouldn't at the moment only because if you are starting the league (as reference in other tread) you won't have all the perks/attachment/guns your used to and would be at a bit of a disadvantage. If your not worried about the league i would prestige at least once. I found when I prestiged I got used to quickly not having the perks or attachment and seemed to play a better game and it was much sweeter beating someone. Although I did die a lot as well.

go back to your roots . get a famas or a nice m16 something that requires some aiming rather than holding down the trigger . get a gun and stick with it took me so long to prestige then as soon as i did i stook with a famas became absolutely unreal with it . now im doing the same with the aug. so trust me whatever the gun u'll end up doing good

Yup usually always in the middle , only way of getting me out is with a noobtoob :mad: :mad:

The main thing that annoys me when I prestige is that you don't get Cold Blooded or stingers until about level 30 so basically you're screwed from air support until then

definitely the worst part about it...especially for a sniper with the no name tag plus I miss the M93
But it's worth it...I'm using guns I normally wouldn't and trying to get the badges for each..

I orginally really regretted the first time I prestiged. But you get over it and move on. It makes the game more challanging and helps keep interest up for those who like completing objectives etc.

I do miss claymores, scvanger, ninja, cold blooded and the AK everytime I do prestige though, I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

Currently 4th prestige(whatever the 1st red badge is ), level 40.

Oh and everyone should prestige once as you get the extra prestige challanges then.

well i've arrived at the end of level 70 :-)

It's like that red button in the room. The ump45 is the savior...I'm now on level 22 and I'm still using it

The heart is racing , will i ,wont i , you press the button , it asks "more info" or "cancel" Yes you say to yourself and you press it you feel great , on top of the world for those few seconds then you look at the lonely 1 and you think oh f**k why did i do that.
Once you get past 30 which really shouldnt take that long your laughing , plus the extra create a class i find invaluable.

MiCr0

ump for the win
i've 1k kills with this, and another 1k with the aug

oh well - back to 0 :-)

MiCr0

just 2434700 xp to go

I did the same last night, on my second time around Prestige. My problem is that you get no benefits from P2. No custom class. Just one different icon.

Nalz

I'm not going to do it again. The once seems fine
