Definitely. I'm at 65 and was planning on getting to 70 before double XP started this weekend, but apparently double XP starts today. Should make it easier to hit 70. I've already told the wife (she understands the concept of double XP weekends from my time in CoD4, so she knows what it means  ). I plan on being at least level 50 1st prestige by the time double XP ends. I might even switch to HQ for a couple of days to speed up the process. If anyone wants to join me in my quest, you're more than welcome. |

Prestiged. Hating every freaking minute of it, but at the same time, I wanted to prestige eventually and doing it during Double XP weekend will at least minimize the pain. It especially sucks because, outside of the guns (I'm a UMP and SCAR fan), all of the unlocks that suit my playstyle happen around level 30 or later. Of the 15 perks I had on my classes prior to Prestige (5 classes x 3 perks per class), 12 of them unlock at level 25 or later. I used Scavenger on two classes and Hardline on one class, and that's it. Also, I used Claymores on 4 classes and C4 on 1. No cold blooded, no stingers, no teammates willing to shoot anything down, no fun.  I tracked my stats for the night pre and post prestige. Prior to prestiging, I averaged 12.3 kills and 9.4 deaths. After prestiging, I averaged 12.3 kills and 15.5 deaths. The 9.4 pre-prestige deaths per game was actually the highest I've ever posted since I started tracking (beginning of Februry), and I've only topped 8 deaths per match two other times during that span... so 15.5 deaths per match is essentially more than double what I'm used to. SUCKS. |

SUCKS. Nah man, prestiging is fun. I've done it 5 times now (on my 6th)  I try to change it up each time, as to what I use and my tactics. This prestige I found out that the Mini-uzi is actually pretty awesome! And the MP5k, as expected, sucks! Pretty much the only gun I can never bring myself to change is my akimbo rafficas as the backup on my sniper. Need the fast quick swap time, way better than pistols... I also found out that the until now entirely disregarded M4A1 is not that bad a gun. It kills just fine. When you prestige, you already have access to the UMP, Barret, Intervention, FAMAS, and the RPD. Well four levels in anyway. All great guns. The SCAR gets unlocked mighty quick too. Don't fret! The only annoying thing is unlocking the attachments, and also if your favorite guns are very high level, tough luck. Scar takes 300 kills to get FMJ and then 40 wallbangs with it to get the extended mags, and M1014 (unlocked level 54, why god why) takes a whopping 400 kills to get extended mags (if it were unlocked earlier, maaaybe. level 54, no way). Pistols are also a huge pain to get attachments for, they're so damn weak and hard to aim. For my earlier prestiges I was really big on the "lag knifing" (marathon/lw/commando, blah blah) but one prestige I never even unlocked the tac. knife because it was such a pain and my regular knife worked just fine. I also enjoy naming my classes something different each time. Last prestige I named them all after pokemon. This time I named them all generically and matter-of-factly as I hadn't ever done that before. On my last one (9th) I'm just going to pick my favorites. In fact I think on my 9th my sniper rifle will have to be the intervention because I love the class name "Divine Intervention," which would be not cool if I actually used the Barret. |

mw0swedeking: Ooh, daddy like. I may have to steal that. ryan: Yeah, I was going to mention the M14 being unlocked super late, but I never use it A lot of people do, though. Once you get to the 28-38 area you unlock a ton of important things. Ninja, Stingers, Cold Blooded, Claymores, Rafficas, etc. Being unable to have a good anti-air class until then is truly agony, yes, as nine times out of ten your teammates can't be bothered to shoot down aircraft for some reason.

As I said, I have no problem with the guns. The UMP/SCAR are my 2nd and 3rd favorite guns, and my first favorite (the TAR) is a relatively quick unlock. My problem with prestige is the other stuff. No Cold Blooded, no Ninja, no Danger Close, no One Man Army, no Last Stand, no Stingers, no Claymores, no C4, no fun. I'm over it now, since I've gotten Cold Blooded, Ninja, Stingers, and Claymores back (as well as my beloved TAR), so all is right in the world again (although I still miss my OMA and C4). I'm never doing it again, though. If I want to experiment with new setups or playstyles, I'll devote one or two of my six classes to new setups and try to complete challenges. |

I actually like the Scout Sniper class (Cold-Blooded) as well as the First Recon class (Ninja), and hey, I even kinda like the Light Support(?) class (Danger Close). But yes, no C4's or no Stingers, I feel your pain with that. Even then I still like to prestige. I'll just play with peeps to make sure there's atleast someone reliable to take down aircraft. |

Prestiging is how I found out that the G18 (single) is still a damn good CQC gun. Ditto on the M4 being a good all-around AR.
If you plan on prestiging again, stop using the low-level guns (barrett, M4, SCAR, RPD, UMP, PP2000, etc) at around 450 kills into the prestige achievement. Having a few of those ready to pop you an extra 10k xp each helps you get to CB/NJ a lot faster

I try to change it up each time, as to what I use and my tactics. This prestige I found out that the Mini-uzi is actually pretty awesome! And the MP5k, as expected, sucks! Whaaaat? MP5k sucks? You be trippin', bro. In my experience: - UMP is #1, with the 3-shot kill and all, and silencer having no effect on that. The irons suuuck and the recoil is a tad hard to manage, but the damage makes up for it. I have a hard time choosing between RDS and silencer, though; RDS makes it much easier to kill, but hey, free silencer. I have 1764 prestige kills with this weapon. - Mini-Uzi is #2, even though it's commonly cited as one of the worst. Dunno why. Irons are great, recoil is mild, fires fast, good ammo, good gun. I only have 232 kills with this weapon, like I said I only started using it this prestige. - P90 is #3, due to the very nice clip size, decent irons, and fast fire rate. For some reason I can never bring myself to kill anyone at range with this gun, though. Maybe it's the irons, maybe the recoil, whatever the case I'm helpless outside of medium range. Otherwise would be higher. I have 819 prestige kills with this gun. - Vector is #4, most people would rate higher but I don't know why. The recoil is quite noticeable contrary to popular belief, I can't see anything with those irons and the muzzle flash that I get without using a silencer, it absolutely chews through ammo, and it's the weakest per-bullet gun in the entire game. The recoil is probably the best out of all the guns but it's nowhere near ACR-like or even SCAR-like. Even with Red Dot or Silencer I can't hit a gosh darn golly gee whiz thing with this gun. Shame, too, because the reload animation is super cool. I have 137 prestige kills with this gun (like I said I can't stand it ). - MP5k is the worst because outside of nigh point-blank range its recoil and damage is way to ridiculous to kill anything. Burst fire doesn't work; the second bullet in a burst will already be way off target so you have to go "pop...pop...pop...pop...pop." to kill a guy, and after the first bullet or two he's already moved or killed you. Sure it's one of the fastest TTKs in close range but pretty much anything's good in close range. I have 350 kills with this gun (I've been using it this whole prestige until I unlocked the mini-uzi. I will never look back). (an argument could be said for "well you're supposed to only be in close range when using this gun, it's the best for it, you can't play right" but there are times when I'm just not, despite my best efforts, and other guns can actually handle themselves, whereas if you have the mp5k out you're a free kill if you can't get to cover in time, and what with the anti-lag measures in this game, I can hardly ever get to cover in time.) FYI I added the kill counts so you could see my level of experience with each gun, not to show off uber leet skillz or anything. EDIT: Haha after typing this up I played a single Merc TDM on Estate with only my Mini-Uzi + Akimbo Rangers class and went 28-3. SEE?? (to be fair I picked up an M16 RDS off the ground and got a few kills with that, and one kill with an Intervention I found on the ground, and like half my kills were harrier/pavelow kills anyway, and I got a handful of ranger kills, but still!) |

I like the MP5k. Recoil doesn't matter when you never aim down your sights.

I was only able to play three games tonight, but like usual we destroyed. Unfortunately my microphone was broken so I couldn't help out the team very well. Hopefully i'll be back on next week with a working microphone and more time to play.

I played a 5-6 player party yesterday that was pretty agressive. And I kept getting sucky ass teammates. I live in Norway, so if you're not from Europe that wasn't you.

it is fun to have a purpose to play fore, that is why prestiging is fun. who care's about KD anyway? it doesn't reflect your skill or something. So what you die more often? most of your opponents prestige asswell so they have the same problems, and therefore the fight will be more balanced The late unlock of the m1014 is a shame indeed, though most of my prestiges I menaged to get EM for them anyway  @ ssog, I am sorry but this list looks just pretty ugly: at least half of that stuff is considered to be lame ^_^ though you are absolutely right about the ninja an CB thing. because you have allmost no way of defending yourself against sertain things.
