Climbing up the ladder
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Nice little idea. Remember the good ol CoD4 days when the first account to tenth prestige was just one guy? It just took one week to accomplish. Don't you miss when everyone who had the game had a fair chance to make it to the max level and have fun with the game. These were simpler times, before challenge lobbies were needed to rank up.

In CoD4 it took about 125000 XP to get through one prestige. I'm gonna simplify that to 1.2 million XP just to make it easier to understand.

CoD4 - 1.2 million
-12 million to tenth prestige
WaW - 1.5 million
-15 million to tenth prestige
MW2 - 2.5 million
- 25 million to tenth prestige
BO -2 million
-30 MILLION to 15th prestige!

I found it outrageous back in World at War how long it took to prestige and Black Ops has DOUBLED that!

My suggestion is that Treyarch makes it take SIGNIFICANTLY shorter to prestige. Of all the problems in Black Ops, this one annoys me the most. If they make it only take about 1 million XP to prestige it will make the game a lot more fun to rank up and it will STOP THE GLITCHERS AND HACKERS because they will be fine with how long it takes to prestige in the game.

Let me make one final comparison before this is done. In CoD4, there was a 10th prestige account 7 days after the game was released, I've heard it was just one person who did it. He probably had around 5 days playing time. Machinima played for 28 DAYS nonstop and had 17 DAYS playing time to make it to 15th prestige.

And Treyarch wonders how why so many people boost.

The Scummy Boosters are still going to do their thing since they couldn't do legit anyway. They shouldn't lower the requirement to top level prestige. It should be challenging to get there. You can always tell who the booster is in the lobby. All you have to do is look at their time played under combat record. If they are less than say 15 hours of play time per prestige then they aren't legit.

its not even hard to rank up, all you have to do is do 1 prestige every 3 weeks which will be a piece of cake if you want to get 15th before the next cod

Dude what kind of math are you doing? lol.

Ok so you have 84 hrs total of game time. You have successfully completed 3 full levels. 0-1st prestige, 1st-2nd prestige, and 3rd-4th prestige. Since im not for sure what level your at on your 5th. I'll do it both ways for ya.

So at 84 hrs total game play with 3 full levels completed that would put you at: 28hrs per prestige

If you have already completed your 5th and are sitting at 50 right now that put you at: 21hrs per prestige

Both of which are well above the 15hrs per prestige threshhold. Next time use a calculator.

Boosters are gonna boost. End of story.

They don't hurt you, or ruin your game play experience so just let it go. No need in bitching over it. IF you are THAT upset over boosters, then it's time to put the game down, go out side and enjoi life. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Make friends, and stay away from Call of Duty.

/Problem Solved no?

A good player can prestige in 15 hours. A decent player can in 20 hours. It's not all that bad. Of course that times 15 I think is fair because it's an option. If you want to show everyone you're really good you can do it. If you want to stay level 50 you can do that. EASY.
