COD4 Prestige mode...

[jomari]

care to place this posting in the COD4 megathread if you'd like.

so, i finally hit 55 rank, and am currently considering prestige mode, but am hesitant to do so because of my perks.

1. so if ever i wanted to get to finish my challenges, does the points still accumulate?
2. what happens in prestige mode? back to zero right? *sigh*
3. does it affect your gameplay? ie. accuracy, less health etc?

personally, im going to keep it at 55, and get my challenges finished. then head to prestige one.

its nice. but i tried it on a different profile, and felt a bit sour when i started from scratch.

it's always a personal decision, but i've restarted prestige several times now (i'm now 55 at the fuzzy cyclops head insignia). in my opinion, it keeps the game fresh and makes me get proficient with other weapons instead of just being a P90/M14 *****... i've discovered an appreciation for other weapons like the old M16 and AK74u.

if you go prestige, your challenges get reset, and yes, your XP, perks, classes etc all get reset. you still have access to all game modes though. your statistics remain intact.

Just entered my third prestige last night. for me at least, it keeps the game fresh and interesting.

so at this point,

1. no matter how many points i accumulate in any given game, its going to mean nothing UNTIL i chose to go prestige mode, am i correct?
2. confirmed zero out on all my benefits... its a good thing i keep on telling myself...
3. hasnt been answered yet...

i still ponder on it. but would like to keep it fresh too!

I think its Infinity Ward's way of telling you to put the game down and go outside for a little while.

Plus the game can get repetetive after you reach lvl 55 and use the same weapons/perks for a while.

1) you need to get like 5k xp after you hit 55 before you can go prestige.

3) huh? outside of losing perks that might affect them, unless you magically suck more after going prestige, why would this make any difference to your health, aim, etc?

1. im already there. but still havent chose the option. not yet. i need to deal with unfinished stuff.

3. im not the best out there, and like everyone else, still learning, but i do know i can handle my own. the hard part is? the fact that there are quite a number of 14 year olds who play as if counterstrike was a toddlers toy. sad actually, kids dont go outside anymore to play activities or sports.

nonetheless, its something i am still pondering on. i love my m16 too much.

just a heads up, hate to post the same thing again so bumpin this instead...

entered prestige mode last night, great god it was a little bit difficult to stop pressing the left button (claymore *****)...

1. i did notice that i prefer using the first sniper rifle a lot more often nowadays, and its pretty interesting WITHOUT iron lungs!
2. points wise, i think they cut the points down by half, considering each match (even those i sort of NOT suck) give me a dumbfounded moment where i go apeshoot over it. two airstrikes, friendly choppers and all, and i get a meazly +53 points? oh well.
3. i miss my R700. =(
4. oh! i almost forgot to mention, my er... soldier seems lighter now. i dont know why, even without extreme conditioning. maybe you gain weight when you go up the ranks. =P talk about realistic!

Get to the 10th prestige. No more prestige after that. Get your iron cross and then worry about hitting all your challenges. Thats what my plan is.
