I'm on my first prestige and I've already decided never to do it again. I lost all my completed challenges, like getting 5 enemies with a single airstrike, killing every enemy on the opposing team without dying, etc. Prestige may keep other people interested in the game, but it is not for me.

Yeah it is really just for bragging rights. I think it is a nice option to have just so you can keep playing for xp once you lose that feeling of getting xp for doing stuff in the game it takes something away from the experience.

I am never doing it again. Complete waste of time and life. I have a clan and they need me so I am not going back to level one. It was stupid of IW to put in such a dull feature. Hopefully Bad Company will be better.

Total waste of time. I'de like that guy who said the silencer red dot combo to give proof, and still, would it still be worth losing all you stuff 5 times to get just THAT combo.

COD4 is a great game but TO ME i think that anyone can jump into it and be a good player(sort of like halo except gaay people that camp tend to be better in halo) now for example if you just jump into gears of war your gunna get owned. GEARS2SPAM

why are you telling us this? You knew you'd lose everything, don't complain to us about it. And I don't know what the qualifications are for not having a life, according to you it's getting to 10th prestige, but whatever...

I got the game a week ago and it took me a very long time to adapt to the multiplayer. K/D was .51 but now I've got it to .89.... trying to get it to atleast 1.1

I'm at level 54 and am going to do prestige. BTW I DO HAVE A LIFE. Personaly I care more about accuracy. I want to see the day where I get 1 hit kills every time :D (except juggernaughts, they're 2 ;)).Right now I'm at 19.97%, can't seem to get it above 20.

if you stay at 55 you can get gold weapons and apparently your score still goes up, i suppose prestige just makes the games replay seem longer when i suppose all it is is a different symbol i suppose you could say a 55 is better than a 16 rank 3 prestige all thought you could argue that they would have more experience and be a better player

Play HQ, ignore the objectives and go for the kills.

I'm a level 49 without prestige (I play other games a lot mroe than COD4 online) and I am never going to do prestige. It's really pointless, and I'm not willing to sacrifice all my challenges, guns, and perks for a cooler looking medal.

It does not matter to me because all i use is the M16,Mp5,stopping power and steady aim and you get all those at the beginning and it only takes me 25 kills to get red dot so i just do it for the hell of.

Honestly I don't mind prestiging; I like having to start over and do it again. I could see why some people wouldn't want to do it though because if someone puts a lot of hard work into the challenges and whatnot and you lose all that hard work then you get kind of pissed off and whatnot. I do like the fact though that you can use more than one attatchment once you reach a certain level of prestige.

Also I do care about the little symbols because it's more of a personal thing, like 'hell yea, I just got the chance to go prestige for a 5th time!' and it makes me feel like I'm a little bit better at Call of Duty 4 than I really am haha. Once again though I could see why certain people wouldn't want to do it.

One more thing is that there is supposed to be a new thing coming out where once you get to the 10th prestige then you can further modify your guns and I heard a little thing that different versions of the guns available are going to come to surface. Once more that I heard (but I doubt this) is that once you hit the 11th prestige (once it supposedly comes out, if at all) all of your guns do 10% more damage so yea. That was just a rumor though, we'll see if that actually sees the light of day.

10th. I am better than most people so it only took 7 days worth of playing and averaging around 35-40 kills per game. Lots of XP so wasn't that hard.

I've not prestiged once in either CoD4 or World at War in all the 200 or so combined hours I've put into them. I dont get the point. It doesn't really say much about your skill level or anything, just how much time you've put into it. I'm not threatened more by people who've prestiged more than others or anything, either, so 'intimidation' has nothing to do with it for me.

I'd rather just get up to the max level and stay there with all the options available to me.

What I think they should do is either:

a) Make it much harder to get to the max level. Maybe reduce the points you get for challenges by 75% or something. This would make it so leveling up didn't happen so quick and the whole 'reward' feeling stays longer.

or

b) Give a real incentive to prestige. WaW went a step in this direction by adding unlockable custom slots, but that still isn't very much. How about having new outfits for our character? Maybe have special perks that get unlocked when you prestige? I dunno, I'm sure that people could come up with some good ideas.
