Besides bragging rights, is it really worth loosing all your challenges and weapons? What do you gain from Prestige made anyway?

Well I just hit rank 70 today with a ton if weapon camo's and perks that I have work so hard to get. So throwing that all out the window doesn't seem easy.

My main question is- what do you gain from Prestige mode? I heard you get an extra custom class, but is that it?

Leveling is what makes the game fun (to me). Prestige mode in MW2 unlocks prestige challenges that will carry over to the next prestige level and extra loadout slots. There's not much of a reward beyond that, so it's all up to you if you want to do it.

Won't be long before Activision will sell load out slots. $10 sounds about right :p

No, you get it, but after 10 Prestige ranks you'll have 5 more custom class slots.

I like the higher end titles you get from prestige, it was fun to re work to fall on my M4 and F2000 even though I had both camo's before hitting 70

Ya Prestiging is just bragging rights.

But I pity the people that get to 10 legitly, cuz they will have people complain to them about rank hack :toast: (which is true for me but not everyone). after getting to prestige 6 level 70 things were getting annoying as hell to redo all your weapons.

Now i just get the o your a noob Nuker every 1 or 2 rounds lmfao.

Sorry not trying to be rude but 5 months 1-70?
jw cuz i didnt play much and it didnt take me that long maybe a month maybe, i average 12k+ per demolition map(which is like 15-25 sometimes shorter if i nuke them in first round. instead of second or third.

That's understandable if your one that doesn't game everyday. It took me about 2 1/2 months to get to 70 (almost all in Team DM and Free-for-all).

Well thats the Problem Team DM and FFA are like the worst for XP :p

play Demolition one round and you will see the difference in your xp.

i would do the same in FFA as in Demolition same Lenght about, and i got like 8k more xp in Demo
if your capable of owning it up S&D is really good also 1k per kill 1.5 or 2 for a headshot if i remember

Yeah I discovered that Demolition, Sabotage, Search and Destroy after I got the map pack and were worth waaay more XP . So getting to 70 this time will be much faster.:cool:

Please explain "extra weapon slot", does it mean that you can carry 3 weapons per class or your class number expands from 5 to 6?

Yes. So at the end of 10 prestiges, you have a whopping 10 slots! I find myself using just the 2.

Yeah 2 or 3 is really all you need IMO, I think 6 is enough and I cant see myself going past Prestige level one because I don't need any more weapon slots and loosing every was mentally damaging enough.:laugh:

M16

Barrett

ACR

...but all with M9 /Tactical Knife;)


EDIT: oh you have 4 showing oops, so only 2 are the same, still the m16 kicks ass.:p
