    I wouldn't call them sad. Id be well into 3rd/4th prestige if I could play Cod whenever I wanted. There's always the hardcore ones. Prestiging once already isn't really that impressive.

    It's not the prestiging that i said was impressive, it was that in seven of the games i've played with him, that he's set off a nuke in.

    That was impressive.

    Tbh i don't see the point in not prestiging, saying you wanna max out all the guns is kinda pointless cause you will get no xp from it anway. I played my first 70 with the Scar and M16, now on my second i'm using the Tar and since last night the M16 again!!!! ☺

    Prestige and Having a life are incompatible i reckon, was gutted when i did it early in COD4 however I didnt know about the extra custom class MW2, that would definitly come in handy..............guess Ill cross that bridge when i come to it, in about a month or so at the going rate.

    95% no, 5% maybe.

    I did a few prestiges on MW1, generally stumbling home drunk and up for a challenge only to regret it the next day. Not worth it whatsoever.

    How is it pointless?
    I could say the same about Prestige.
    Maxing out the guns and challenges is only a side issue to those happy to not prestige.
    I play the game to enjoy its gameplay more so than any gain of xp.
    Playing as a team in team based modes is great fun when played corectly.
    Unfortunately you have far too many statwhores seeking xp more than working as a team.
    Its no coincidence a lot of these statwhores are the guys crazy into this bling bling prestige drivel.

    lol@Statwhores - These are the maniacs running around like headless chickens with 2 shotguns right? Usually found in the soulless caverns of FFA or DM games, occasionally wandering into a team based game only to be frowned upon and shunned. (I bet their the same noteless wonders singing in the server room )


    I dont even know what me k:d ratio is or how to find out (i dont see it in barracks?)..............and in truth nor do i care. I too like a good team game, dont even need to speak to each other, good players can tell by the map what the others intentions are and where everybody should be and whats about to happen. Perhaps only once every couple of days do the planets line up and present that scenario but when it does its worth it.

    Barracks > Leaderboard > kills Ratio is to the right.

    You're ranked on the kills though, not the ratio, so i don't know why everyone fusses over it.
