I honestly don't understand the big deal about prestiging. Don't let people push you into it. It's just a bad idea all around - you lose everything! All in exchange for a little icon by your name!

Some people like it because they are just addicted to unlocking stuff, but if you enjoy the game itself more than the unlocking meta-game, don't prestige.

I've never been the type to prestige, and I fought everyone last year when all my friends were prestiging. I held true, and never did because its like I told them.. I worked to hard to get everything I got and don't want to start over.
Some of the awards I got on pure accident/fluke, some were ones I would of never gotten if I had tried all day every day.

Looks like I'll once again hit 50 and stay. 5 customized slots is enough for me, as I only use a few weapons anyhow.

Thanks for the info guys.
 
Yeah, except it's really only two zombie maps total. Dead ops is a silly little diversion, not a full on zombie map.

I so would have rather had spec ops than this nonsense.
 
How close am I getting?
Just finished the mission where you start off in a SR71.

Your just over 3/4 of the way done. Once you think you have reached the very end,.. it throws one more missions at ya. At least it was that way with me,.. but then again that was 3:00 a.m. one week ago and I had been playing for almost 4 hours straight. 😉
 
I found my new favorite thing to do. Sit in the back of Nuketown with a launcher taking down spy planes. 🙂 Racks up the points fast, especially standing next to my SAM turrent

Then if the other team spawns a chopper,.. I can only imagine the frustration when it doesn't get any kills before its shot down.
 
One easy way is to equip the sentry gun killstreak and when you get it in game, throw it towards the enemy so they steal it. I haven't done this, but I've heard of others that have.

Just wated to chime in and say that this totally worked. It took two games but whn it finally worked I was stoked!!! It should have worked the first time but my teammates got it instead of the other team. Haha.

Good idea coldmeat
 
You were close, it's just something new they added in for Black Ops. I haven't prestiged yet (3 levels away, although I'm in no rush) so I can't comment on how it works. What about it Buc?

The prestige lobby is available to be unlocked by paying 50k credits once you've prestiged. I have no interest in saving up that many credits yet to unlock that just yet(maybe once I reach the tail end of this prestige, I had 75k credits last time to blow)

You're crazy. I play Zombies probably more than regular multiplayer. Wish more had gotten the hardened/prestige edition because one of the old maps is a lot of fun, but the new ones are ok too. I'm not a big fan of Five though.
 
so you shared 10 care packages in one game? I find that hard to believe, but not impossible.

Every time I was alive I got a 5 kill streak. I'd just suicide rush out once I did. So with hardline that's SAM, Care, and Sentry. I just threw them out and my teammates jumped on them. I did however keep a chopper gunner that came down =P
 
Because of the constant spawn issues, I'm going to exclusively play Demolition. I really enjoy it and I won't have to worry about spawn issues with it. I'm switching the spy plane to sentry gun so I have 3 care packages to change with hardline pro, although the sentry gun will be awesome in demolition anyway.

I haven't been able to get on the final killcam yet, which is frustrating. I got a rolling thunder earlier when we had 7300 points on TD, but just as I called it in we won 🙁
 
So i played the 360 version of the game today...and god damn, tryarch screwed the hell out of PS3 users. PS3 ress is @ like 500p~ while the the 360 is @ 600p~ yet the damn framerate on the PS3 is like 20FPS lower on average.WTF, how hard is it to port over the game successfully just like many other companies have done? Dozens and dozens of companies do this every year successfully! Way to go Activision...😡
 
Oh, not to mention Teather mode is a POS...can't port any clips to youtube longer than 30 seconds. So much for 21 killstreak youtube video

Ive noticed that many PS3 ports are poorly done. Worse graphics with worse performance. Theres an IQ comparison video on gametrailers where it shows that the PS3 clearly lacks.

I still cant get Ghost Pro god damnit. No one but me uses the damn sentry.
 
How would you even know what the FPS or resolution is on console versions? I have had zero framerate issues on the PS3, runs smooth as butter.
 
Hey Guys,
Does anyone else not like Cod Blops? Graphics are a bit shabby and the whole game feels like another treyarch disappointment, like Cod 3/5. Sure zombies is cool, but were back in the world of flamethrowers and wave after wave of boring enemies.

Split screen is no Modern Warfare either,

it feels like a bad Modern Warfare rip off.
 
I haven't played it (and probably never will) but what were you expecting? The CoD series hasn't done anything different since the jump to modern times from WWII IMO.

I disagree, I loved Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, the prospect of treyarch doing a Modern one, made me think there was a chance to do a good game, they saw the sucess of modern warfare, and after the sucess of Zombies in world at war, they must know they're strengths. I thought these factors together made for big potential... But alas no.
