Post: Prestige Misunderstanding...READ

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Weeks ago Treyarch made a poll on the Black Ops site asking how long should a prestige take (worded much differently). A lot of people took it in a way that you must play that amount of time before you can prestige. This conclusion was also posted in the news section. Now the idea was that this was to prevent hackers, but I don't think that would do much at all. However, I do think Treyarch worded it wrong and caused a big misunderstanding.

I think they were asking how long should reaching the highest rank approximately take. For example, MW2 took about 2 days to reach rank 70, WaW took about 1.5 days to reach 65, and CoD4 took a little more than a day to reach 55. In that poll 24 hours won the vote. Now when the MP teaser trailer came out someone said something that gave me an idea. I payed close attention to the ranks of everyone in the trailer. I came up with a conclusion and posted a thread with this:

I compared some of the ranks seen in the video to the other CoD games and here is what I noticed:

Highest rank seen in the video is 41 and thats Brigadier General(one silver star), in CoD4 that was rank 43.

Someone was rank 34 in the video, that's the Lt. Colonel rank(silver leaf), in CoD4 that rank was 37.

Same with the rank Major(gold leaf), level 31 in BO, but level 34 in CoD4.

So we must be looking at less ranks than CoD4, I'm guessing about 50.


EDIT: OK some people are doubting this part saying I'm wrong. First of all, I may not be 100% right, it's just a GUESS. They could change it before the game is released for all I know.

50 ranks would put the approximate time to probably 24 hours for the average player if they don't increase the EXP needed for each level by too much. That's why I think that poll was the reason they put 50 ranks. They could still require you to play 24 hours to prestige, but I doubt it. I'm not 100% positive on this, but it makes sense to me and I just wanted to explain to the rest of you what I found and see if you agree.

If you read it all, thanks for not being lazy. :p

NP Carling26 agrees. Winky Winky

Personally, I agree with the original poster. When I first saw that poll, I didn't think it was a time lock, I thought it was them trying to figure out how many ranks they should put in. I also can confirm that he is right, and there will be between 50-55 levels if his theory is correct.

No offense to you, but that would be really dumb as if people did end up hacking, they will find a way to get around the time thing, as all of us normal gamers would have to wait. So if you get what I'm saying, that would be a bad idea. (Just pointing it out, not hating. lol)

I agree with you, I said it is was dumb. That is what people believed Treyarch meant and that's why I made this thread.

Yeah, thats what alot of people don't understand. The exp between ranks. People always said Omg 70 ranks thats alot, but its less exp inbetween ranks, where as cod4 has less ranks but more exp between exp. Correct me if im wrong.
