"You are my bro, bro"
I'm curious...can you use the "Unlock gear" option in the prestige shop on anything as soon as you prestige, or do you have to wait until you unlock said gear in your current prestige? For example, when I prestige the first time, will I be able to unlock Dead Silence as soon as I can create my own classes, or will I have to wait until 55 to unlock it?

As soon as you prestige, you can unlock anything. Since you already unlocked everything in your first play through. Also, I heard that once you unlock something, it stays unlocked for all your prestige's. Can't confirm that last one though.

I was wondering about this - I don't know anyone who's prestiged yet.
I'll have four tokens available at the end of this prestige.
Does that man I can unlock three perks and a favourite gun from level one, from here on?
It's everything used in 'create a class' right and there's no reason I can't spend all four at once?

Thing is, the first time you unlock something permanently you'll have to level it once again, since everything will reset after prestiging

Not just the first time—every time. Unlock Gear only gives you the base model of the item automatically on every prestige. It does not retain your Pro Perks or Weapon Level.

Returning to a previous question in this thread, am I to understand that if I use Unlock Gear to grab the MP7, I get it at the beginning of every prestige without having to unlock it again?

And it's because of this that I don't really mind having to level stuff up from the beginning again ;D waiting for "gear" like Dead Silence and the MP7 is a serious pain

Do we have any confirmation yet if Campaign or Spec Ops give additional prestige tokens, and if so how and how many?

Oh damn. I thought he'd mentioned at some point that you could get tokens in Spec Ops.
Alright.

He did. I guess they removed that functionality later. Can we get titles and emblems from Spec Ops though?

No, you can change your callsign using titles and emblems earned in MP while being in Spec Ops. What i'd like to know is: What if i'm prestige 10, didn't buy extra classes and don't have any tokens left because i always bought double xp?

Does reset stats not require a prestige token? (I'd considered this, but I wasn't sure).

Can you unlock perks with equipment unlock or is it strictly guns and grenades?

Bowling has said you can unlock perks as well.

Is there any reason why I have only one prestige token even though I have prestiged in CoD4 (Prestige Lvl 1), WaW (Prestige Lvl 3), MW2 (Prestige Lvl 10), and BO (Prestige Lvl 10)? Is there something I'm missing, how do I get the four tokens as I've heard others say they've gotten for their previous prestiges?

I've Prestiged twice now. Here's my 100% confirmed info...
- Whatever you unlock in the prestige shop, you keep for the remainder of the game. (Unless you 10th prestige and then reset again I assume) I unlocked Dead Silence, the MP7, and the MSR after my first Prestige. - When I prestiged the second time, I did NOT have to re-unlock those guns and did NOT have to use another Prestige Token. So I keep those guns FOREVER now.
- One somewhat disappointing thing is that while I keep those guns, I DO have to re-uprank them. I've gotta re unlock my camo, attachments, proficiency, etc.... The guns are re-set to Level 1. - Same goes for the Perks, my Dead Silence was no longer Dead Silence PRO. - All of my challenges reset, even the ones based on the guns that I bought in the Prestige Shop. And I didn't see any Prestige Weapon challenges. In previous games they would tally my life-time progress with the guns, the amount of kills and headshots. In this one, all challenges are reset and the only prestige challenges that remain are the ones based on the Killstreaks. That's it for what I've found out. Hope it helps.

Glad to see someone else used a token on the MP7. It's such a beast.
However, my prestige challenges for each gun (veteran and challenge) did stay when I prestiged. Not only that, but they're actually available before you even prestige at all, they're just not visible. The first time that I hit 500 kills with the M4A1 (which I used for a lot of my first play through) I got 20,000 EXP for M4A1 Marksman [whatever number] and M4A1 Veteran I. When I prestiged, the marksman challenges reset but the veteran challenge did not.

Really? Maybe I missed something. Because everything looked reset to me! I'll check again. Lol, thanks!

When I prestiged, the marksman challenges reset but the veteran challenge did not. After double checking, I honestly don't see ANY challenges that stay after prestiging. Not even the PRESTIGE challenges stayed for me. No challenge in the game continued, everything was re-set both times.

Weird. I've heard some of my friends are having trouble, up to and including not getting a token when they prestige. So who knows.
