Ok, Im about to turn lvl 55 and I really don't know if I should go Prestige or not... I understand that it might be better in the long run, but then I lose everything!! Need Help!

In the long run, going Prestige keeps the game fresher for you and you get to have a fancy medal next to your name in the lobby. However, losing everything you have played long and hard for is not as much fun as you think. Now in my case, all of my favorite guns were available right from the get go...(MP5, M249 SAW and AK47). But what I missed most were the perks like 3 Frags, Martydom and the P90.

Honestly, going Prestige doesnt signify a thing except that you play alot of CoD 4. It has ZERO reflection on skill and that is the fatal flaw in the whole Prestige mode!! So if I were you, I would just weigh the pros and cons for you and make your descision from there!!

Go for it, its fun to experience the multi-player from the beginning again, plus you get a cool little symbol! It's either that or work on all the challenges and get golden guns and stuff... which just like achievements are pretty much just stupid e-penis enlargement to me.

I'd just stick with regular level 55, but then it takes me ages to go up ranks as I don't play that often.

Think about how long it took you to get the weapons you like to use most of the time and decide if you can be bothered battling through 20 or 30 levels again until you reach the stuff you have now.

I wouldn't exactly call it a tough decision, but it really depend on whether you want to have a new emblem next to your name or not. I don't think I'd like losing all of those weapons it took so long to aquire though.

Do it. But don't get golden weapons until your on the 10th prestige or you will regret going prestige. Once you are lvl 55 again prestige so you can max it out as soon as possible.

I would definitely recommend that you do prestige. Just before my first prestige, I didn't know if I wanted to do it but it really is worth it if you plan to keep playing. I haven't played Call of Duty 4 in a while but prestige is definitely worth it, if you are going to keep playing it a lot. It keeps the game fresh, which is a great thing!

Yeah mate,

You've gotta prestige. It stops the game getting boring and it gives you something to aim for

Go for it - it's no big deal - ok, so you loose all of your unlocked stuff, but you level up pretty quick and gain them back. I mainly use the M5 w/red dot, and the M5 is one of the 1st guns you start with anyway - 25 kills later - I have my red dot sight back.

This morning i played with a guy who just flipped his prestige and started the round at lvl 1 - at the end of the round (playing headqtrs), he was a lvl 5.

If you play alot this would keep you playing for a reason

If you play one in a while then i suggest just keep you guns.

No way. I learned the hard way after prestiging 5 times that earning and unlocking the same stuff over and over is not really that enjoyable. I wish Infinite Ward hadn't been so lazy and made an enormous rank system with many unlockables that took a long time to finish instead of just forcing us to do everything again just for a new symbol. The funny thing is that people still thinks this obnoxious sytem constitutes a "deep" rank system.

you might as well, who cares if you lose your guns, you get em back soon enough, plus it'll keep you playing for awhile. And of course it doesn't show skill, no ranking system is an indicator of skill.

I wouldn't do it. I had Red Tiger for my AK, M21, Dragonov, M40 and I lost all of it. I would lose all of it anyway since the account is a 1 month free trial.

I did it the first time and hated my self until i got my Barret back so when i hit level 55 again i just left it there. And i don't get how losing everything you worked so hard for makes the game more fun, But that's just me.

Well technically, you have another level to go before you have to decide. Anyway, I remember when I had to make the same decision. I went into prestige and found that it was much easier to level up the second time around.

I did the 1st prestige but I didn't like the fact that all your challenges completed get wiped and all your unlocked weapons get locked. I'm having plenty of fun without doing prestige another time.

Depends if you think you will still play it a lot.

I don't play it nearly as much as I used to, so just staying at level 55 and keeping all my weapons is better for me.

i think you should. i would have stopped playing the game long ago if i didnt go prestige... although im getting close to 55 again and i wont go prestige again since i figure i might go with some new games.
