As the thread says......WHY DA FOOK DID NO ONE TELL ME PRESTIGE IS LIKE THE NAMA OF COD!!!!!!!!

As you may or may not know I am now the most AVERAGE PRESTIGE PLAYER out there...YEP....PRESTIGE LVL 8.....KUDOS...you might think...FOOK THAT :eek:

Upon clicking on the PRESTIGE button and getting some warnings about this and that (really should have read them I suppose

) I click to become part of the "BEST OF THE BEST" to get that shiny bullet symbol next to my name that says "HERE COMES THE THUNDER".......and guess what I am robbed like a fookin tourist on holliers in SOUTH AFRICA...

MONEY - GONE
GUNS- GONE

Not even a pair of decent boots left....ffs....LMFAO....Its the NAMA of COD, after working like a mad bastard to get a gun I think will make me UBER good, I am back running around with the default MPK5 and a "CHICKEN NUGGET" by my name.

So this is a heads up to all the new COD guys out there that never played the series before (MP):p Think before you blow the lot.....

PMSL :cool:

Hahahaha that is pretty jacked that they reset the money you've earned. I know that they give you custom slots but is there any other reward for prestiging then?

Wonda-Boy · 15-11-2010 02:28PM

Na I aint sayin they a gold digga....I just sayin that Im broke broke......

Everything resets....Money the lot.....and all the slots are custom are they not. I mean you can pretty much change everything anyways so what else can there be.

Ah well, just gonna have to go down the "COD:WELFARE OFFICE" and ask for a FAMAS till I back on my feet.

Hercule · 15-11-2010 02:36PM

enfield is the best/most reliable gun in the game tbh - get that early and be happy

Wonda-Boy · 15-11-2010 02:42PM

Yeah, I did notice that....very little recoil if I remember. Just have to open up a can of whup ass with the MPK5 I suppose....but better get cherryghost riding as shotgun.

mmm not sure about that the galil is pretty dam good with the supressor

Wonda-Boy · 15-11-2010 02:56PM

Do you actually lose damage with the supressor....does not seem like you do to me. Only the sound changes....I think its more range that gets nerfed.

Angron · 15-11-2010 03:52PM

In fairness, what did you think prestige would do, give you a shiny new emblem for nothing?

That's what hax are for.

It is probably damage over range drops quicker (as takes 4 bullets at 50 metres instead of 60 kind of thing). Shooting someone point blank would be the same.

Wonda-Boy · 16-11-2010 02:06AM

Earning money back is the killer you get far far less for doing the same thing....Dang I got shafted!!!!

Still, I got my FAMAS back.:p

Soby · 16-11-2010 02:14AM

Least you got a extra custom class slot :P

Wonda-Boy · 16-11-2010 02:15AM

lmao....only cost me 55K in COD dosh and every weapon bar 4!!!!!

shawpower · 16-11-2010 01:05PM

Before people prestige, they should spend every CodPoint on all the emblems they can buy.

Hecklar · 16-11-2010 01:05PM

haha, Hate that, I swore id never do that again after previous cod games.

What level do ya have to be at in this one to prestige? is it 50 or 75? im only a mere 30 somthin at the moment.

Wonda-Boy · 16-11-2010 02:29PM

Yeah LVL 50 to prestige in this COD, I did not know WTF this was all about....the prestige that is. I just taught it was the next step to take and that I might lose the perks and that to make it a tad harder thats all. Fair enough taking weapons but taking the money is just pure "PIKEY-ism"

Unlocked the FAMAS again last night thanx FOOK! So at least I have something decent to fire.

cypharius · 16-11-2010 10:44PM

Do the pro versions of perks go away as well?

I don't know how people use the suppressor. I tried it the last two days. It takes an extra bullet or two to get what are usually classed as "long range kills".

To avoid coming up on the enemies radar........

Anyway, before you prestige and throw away all your money are you better off unlocking all the emblems on your guns before you hit prestige?

Wonda-Boy · 17-11-2010 11:46AM

Its a pure GAME RAPE man I am telling you....everything goes. Face paint, Perks, Money. This game would SCALP ya if dandruff had a going rate!!!

Game has mad bugs still, the unlocks that come with prestige are not working for me like the unique playercards that unlock with every lvl prestige. I am lvl 22 prestige and none have unlocked for me yet :mad:

At least when I die I look good going down......

weiland79 · 17-11-2010 11:51AM

So what happens if you don't prestige. Do you go up to level 51,52 etc?

I'll be damned if i'm giving up my M16.

Wonda-Boy · 17-11-2010 11:58AM

No....I think you just stay lvl 50 and just keep getting money. I never played the other CODs so I am not sure.

If you play the game an awful lot just prestige you will get everything back...and if you really good at the game deffo do it as you wil be getting points left right and centre no probs. And be back with all the stuff in no time.

Guys, you lose everything when you prestige except emblems (layers, images and backgrounds).

So all guns, attachments, camo, perks, grenades, challenge progression etc that you've unlocked and bought are lost and will have to be unlocked & bought again from P1L1. Also, you lose all your COD points. You'll end up at zero funds when you start again.

So before you prestige, spend all your money on buying the layers, images and backgrounds. The layers are expensive to buy them all, and there are over 480 images and over 180 backgrounds to choose from. So make use of your COD Points before you lose it.

If you don't prestige, you just sit at level 50 for ever. You can work your way through all the challenges etc, and have access to every gun in the game, but your XP doesn't go anywhere and you're money eventually will become useless as you'll have nothing left to buy.

If you prestige, you have to go through the pain of levelling up again, but you get access to extra custom slots at the odd prestiges; 1,3,5,7 etc, so you can have up to 10 different weapon loadouts. You also now get access to prestige gamemodes (basically identical but only against players who have prestiged). You also get new Icons, that appear beside your gamercard in the lobby. Lastly, at the higher prestiges, you get Facepaint*, Clan Tag colours, Golden Camo for your weapons, and "Final Riddled Background" at 15 - whatever that is!? (source: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Prestige_Mode#Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops)

Also, you get the M16 and MP5K from Level 1 by default so won't have to go without it.

* I'm not sure what difference this Facepaint is to the normal stuff you unlock at level 31... Anyone?
:Edit: Apparently this is Face Tattoos, so I'm guessing you can get creative with them, similar to the emblems??

claiva · 17-11-2010 01:10PM

I usually Prestige a few times but don't think I will in this iteration of the game. There is way too much to lose and its bloody hard to get the pro versions of the perks :eek:

I'll probably press the button when a double xp weekend come around. Anyone know when there is one due ?

I think its the opposite, 20/21 hours to prestige , once you know what you have to do to get pro it doesnt take that long. As for cash its easy to make , with the contracts.

Why did no one WARN ME!!!!
