pussy. :P In all seriousness it makes the game more fun. But, that's my opinion.

If you don't prestige, eat a dick - Ice T

It's just people finding something to bitch about while showing others their 1337 videogame skillz.  I don't play MW2 that often, so once I hit 70, I will most likely stay there so that I can pick up the game every so often and play with all the weapons I want.

Someone should post that haters gonna hate picture, seems fitting here. 
 
Uh anyhow, I haven't done it yet but with how I play games (I blame WoW) I would feel like I was doing a whole lot of nothing if I didn't prestige and continued to play. I feel like I need to always be working towards something. To each his own though.

Fuck Prestige.  The AK47 is my favorite weapon.  I'd get to use it for what, an hour every few months if I Prestiged every time I hit 70?

Suck a dick.

I like having 1 additional custom loadout slots with each prestige and I also enjoy unlocking everything again and also getting new titles/emblems w/ a new icon next to my gamertag, so I'm all for prestiging.

Because only the cool kids prestige.

Going through the prestige process a few times now, I've found that each time I try some new stuff. New weapons, tactics etc. If for no other reason it's been good that way.
 
In my experience online, people who don't prestige don't really get bothered by others, unless they're talking sh!t. Then the whole "why don't you prestige you $^$@%&" comes around. Which I kinda agree with. If you're going to be running your mouth about how great to are to everyone in the world, then I think you should prestige. By definition, prestige is merely bragging rights.

I don't mind it because my favorite weapons (UMP45) is unlocked from the start. Plus Lightweight, Commando, and Marathon are all there from the get-go.

I heard a little kid talking to a level 70 guy and he said "Fuck you, i will not take you seriously as a player until you prestige you piece of shit, you suck." 
 
It made me /facepalm irl.

It's pretty lame if you just sit at lvl 70 and don't prestige.  
 
The whole point about MW is to unlock crap.  "Oh snap, four more games and I get my P90!" 

" It's pretty lame if you just sit at lvl 70 and don't prestige.    The whole point about MW is to unlock crap.  "Oh snap, four more games and I get my P90!"  "

I prestiged multiple times because i wanted to. 
 
Some people don't and to them i wish them the best! They'll kick the crap out of me from 1-25 everytime and thats the price i pay :D

I couldn't get to the top level in COD4  in the two years I've owned it. So if I ever DO prestige in this game... yeah I'm fuckin' staying there. Takes me long enough. No time to play COD ALL the time, there's so many games coming out. 
 
So if I'm not prestiging due to how time consuming it is... people who'd bitch about that are requiring to get the life.

I myself do get a little peeved when I see someone kicking it at 70 because I personally want to try to reach 10th prestige 70. When I see someone sitting there with all their high-powered guns with all attachments and camos, it makes me think "what are you not good enough to do it all again?"  
 
From reading these responses I guess that is the case ahah. But to sum it up, some people just want everyone to do the same as them? I'm sorry if I personally have ever harassed any of you. 
 
Whoops (:

I really don't care if a person  prestiges or not.I probably will because I love constantly unlocking stuff.

i never heard of anyone talking shit about prestiging. i am only second prestige on 4 and i'm like level 20. i got bored of the game. i plan on prestige soon as i'm level 68 going to be tonight maybe. who knows i might get bored and stop playing the game.

I'm a dude who stayed at level 70 because I have a clan to support.

In a popular online game, people will use any excuse to insult others.

Play a game how you feel comfortable and don't worry about others.  If all else fails do like Billy Madison and say "All the cool kids stay at level 70 and don't prestige."

I don't know why people make such a fuss about it really. 
 
In the end it does not mean anything. If your happy with not prestiging, then so be it. 
 
I however find it gives you a few extra hours before you become totally bored of it.

I can see the appeal of prestiging, wanting to be constantly earning something by leveling or to just show off, but I play Modern Warfare 2 to shoot duders.  So on the rare occasion I was to just shoot duders, I want to have all my shit unlocked. 

I laugh to myself when I see people on their 2nd prestige, imagining how lonely they are makes me feel better about myself. :) I give 1st prestige people a pass because they probably got tricked into clicking it or curiosity got the best of them. :(

I find people who go into prestige for reasons other than to have another custom loadout pathetic. You seriously want to put in that amount of time into a game so you get a fucking emblem next to your name whenever you enter a game? And it doesn't even mean you're good. It just means you've played the game again. I sat at highest level in CoD4 as soon as I reached it, and never prestiged. All the fucks who go 'LOL GO PRESTIGE NUUB' end up getting their ass handed to them. 
 
I've seen level 1s destroy 10th prestige players. It doesn't mean crap.

Never prestiged in COD4.
