(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:



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.

sounds good but any idea about how many prestiges and what the emblems are gonna be?

nice only red the 1st line though

That's what DICE did for Medal of Honor. Rainbow Six Vegas is also the same way. That system is ok, but I think now ranks and prestiges is just the traditional CoD. And doing it that way doesn't mean it couldn't still be hacked.

We can only wait and find out. You can see some emblems in the MP trailer.

damn the emblems are my favorite part haha

they should just rank it like socom 2, there was 4 ranks and if you were ranked 40,000 and under you had your wings, 100,000 you were a cookie, and the rest you were a scrub.

I think he's talking about Split-Screen, which is (correct me if I'm wrong,) what made it so ridiculously easy to hack MW2. Treyarch didn't have the ability to load and save split-screens (right?) in W@W which is why it still remains to be only hacked by a select few..

Not trying to flame or anything but, isn't it go like, after the green levels ( Like MW2 lvl 1 - 29 or something ) its about 3-4 levels to change from like silver to gold emblem? So wouldn't there be a lot of possibilities instead of 50? Oh and i know you said "I'm not 100 % sure"

Wrong it was made to prevent boosters! A hacker can change the amout of time play so there prestige hack done

The split screen hack was found first, but that was patched like 2 days later. That was back in December, I know all about it because that's how I got to tenth. After that split screen had no effect on hacking in MW2, it was all jtags from there.

Well there was only 3-4 levels to change from silver to gold because MW2 had so many ranks. And your right I'm not 100%, but like I said 50 makes the most sense.
