this is my point, skill is nothing to do with prestige, prestige is just how fast you can short cut your way to get a better badge, so its not 'prestige' at all is it when you think about it, i played to where i am without playing a single game of 'headshots' or any other form of extracting XP from the game.
i chose to stop where i am because more often than not when i play i am against someone of superior rank and more often than not they get their ass kicked, so tell me the point of having a gold cross or red star if you still cant win without help because their are alot that cant,
for the ones that can i apologise but u know its true cos you have seen em ureself
