(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alot of people have been throwing around ideas about prestige awards, I am just here to provide some facts and my opinions on the subject.

Before I start please note this.
pres·tige [pre-steezh, -steej]
–noun
1.
reputation or influence arising from success, achievement, rank, or other favorable attributes.
2.
distinction or reputation attaching to a person or thing and thus possessing a cachet for others or for the public: ~Dictionary.com

In a nutshell this discription I gave you means that to be prestigious, you have reputation on your success. So basically the reason this was put into the game was to show your "prestige" by starting the game over again. This was not added to make you mad when you loose all of your guns.

Ok now prestiging in black ops. Many people are suggesting rewards for taking a step back and loosing all weapons. If something like this was added to black ops it surely couldnt be something that gave the player an advantage such as a new weapon or perk. If this is done i believe it may add some new options such as more player customization features, or extra camos. Now lets suppose this feature was added. Now everytime you prestige you get a fancy new gun camo, or say a nice new helmet for your soldier. So now that I have put all that hard work in reaching my prestige, I make other players who have not envious. So this results in these other jealous players to get on their computers and google..."Black Ops Prestige Hack."
This is the main flaw I see in adding prestige rewards. If other players see that you can unlock fancy new clothing or shiny new gun camo, then why wouldnt they want to unlock it all in one go?
We all know prestige hacking was a problem in MW2, and wether you like it or not, you know it was a problem. Now that rewards are thrown into the mix, every lobby will be filled with tenth prestigers.

Thanks for reading this all guys. I just wanted to give my opinions on this topic everyone has been posting. This did take a while to type, so a thanks and rep+ is always appreciated

They cant add extra "Guns" per prestige it makes the game unbalanced, CoD is all about balance. Camos and Classes or more Customization on guns (Custom CAMOS or ability to put a stock/other on guns that dont have them) would be nice

Lol, balanced, that's why in MW2 we have the UMP, OMA, Noob tubes and commando .
In WaW we have tanks and MP40's.
Cod4 has P90 and m16

but everyone can use a UMP, Noob Tubes...so its balanced...

if you get extra guns when you prestige its unblanced cos not everyone will have it and it might be ridiculously strong compared to the non prestiged guns, like the UMP>F200

This is true.
But also if CoD guns all had the same damage people would just use LMG's.
Its a fighting battle to please everyone which cant be done.

I hope there isn't either. I'm going legit this time whether there is prestige hacks or not and I would rather have my 10th mean something than just being called a hacker.


with the people these days you'll still be called a hacker :confused:

MW2 and COD4 lobbies
im pretty sure that trey archs main goal is to make this game hack proof so that the leaderboards stay legit and the ranks are actually done by skill, not by going into a lobby and pressing up on the D pad
