This Is My Last Prestige

Ok, so I'm now 11th prestige and I've took the bold decision that this is as far as i go! I know there are a lot of people out there who want me to go all the way to level 15 but as a call of duty veteran here are my reasons as to why this is best for me.

1: Individuality, I'm already seeing more level 14 and 15 prestige than I al level 5 and 6 the reason for this is simple more and more people are getting into hacked lobbies. By the time I finished playing Reflex you couldn't get a game without finding a hacked level 10 prestige. So I don't want to have to spend every game explaining to everyone else with a mic that I am indeed not a hacker. Also I want a logo not many people have.

2: Custom Classes, I have already unlocked all 10 custom class's and to be honest I'm really not that bothered about gold skins for your gun and the extra game mode at level 15.

3: Pro Perks, I have spent so long sticking to the same set up and rushing through the levels that I never get change to experiment. Traditionally if I play hard I can go up 3 prestige levels in 2 weeks. That doesn't leave much time for messing about with different guns and set ups. This time I am looking to unlock every pro perk and so far I'm loving every second of it. I have currently unlocked Lightweight Pro, Scavenger Pro, Marathon Pro, Sleight of Hand Pro, Ninga Pro, Hacker Pro, Warlord Pro and Hard-line Pro

4: Playing my best games, I always feel when you lose all your equipment and perks your game suffers I mean who's wouldn't. I usually end up dropping 0.02% of a ratio point as I go through the early levels up. I'm currently 2.83 K/D ratio and i want to push that over the 3.00 mark. I want to find out how good X Black is on his best day with all the best tools at his disposal.

5: I love this logo, I mean who doesn't love a big spider other than the level 7 prestige logo this is by far my personal best

Updated Combat Record

Here is my updated combat record after a few days of Noob slaying, I had a second perfect game on Free For All today and another 30-1 and 30-2 games.

I moved up to level 7 prestige on boxing day and must say I love the new logo. I'm tempted to actually stick on this level prestige what do you think? or should I keep going to level 14? And no before you ask there is no way I would go to level 15 I'm already seeing loads of hacked accounts on that level and at no time do I want anyone to say that mine is hacked. On Reflex I stopped at level 9 for the same reason.

Finally check out my new Kill / Death ratio all those 30-something games are really paying off, before Christmas I was stuck on 2.48 KD now I'm 2.63, happy days.

Combat Record

After seeing other members of my team uploading photos of their combat records I thought I would do the same. I also went up to level 6 prestige today and love my new prestige logo. I would also like to thank [X] White for helping me through my 15 flag captures on capture the flag to get my Marathon Pro nice and early.

Pro Perks

My usual set up of Pro-Perks included Scavenger Pro, Marathon Pro and Steady Aim Pro. I've tried a few variations and there are a few that I sometimes think would help me more but these are the ones I keep coming back to time after time and here are the reasons why.

1: Steady Aim Pro

Overview

Steady Aim reduces the size of the hip fire crosshairs to 65% of their original size. Its pro version reduces the fire delay after sprinting and the knife lunge recovery time to 60% of their original values. Note that the actual knife lunge animation is not shortened; Steady Aim Pro simply decreases the time it takes for the user to put the knife away after a lunge.

Pro Challenges

Quick Melee – Melee two enemies consecutively within 5 seconds.
Sprint Kills – Get 100 kills after sprinting.
Hip Fire Kills – Get 150 hip fire kills using Steady Aim.

I use steady aim for the simple reason that when I run into another player by the time they have brought their gun up to aim and shoot I've already killed them as I have fired directly from the hip i would guess that around 80% of my kills from my primary weapon come from the hip. This is a massive reason why i have a very good Kill Death Ratio at 2.50

2: Marathon Pro

Overview

Marathon doubles the player's sprint duration. Its Pro version gives the player unlimited sprint duration.

Pro Challenges

26 Miles: Sprint 26 Miles using Marathon.
First Blood: Get the First Blood Medal 10 times.
Captures: In Capture the Flag, get the Flag Capture medal 15 times while using Marathon

I use Marathon Pro as I'm a big fan of Light Machineguns, The only drawback to them is they slow you down almost to a snail's pace. Marathon Pro just helps ease the pain of this drawback.

3: Scavenger Pro

Overview

Scavenger allows the player to see and pick up ammo bags left by dead players. These bags replenish one magazine of ammunition for each weapon the player carries and one lethal grenade. Its pro version allows the player to pick up one tactical grenade with each bag and spawns the player with maximum ammo.
Notably, Scavenger no longer replenishes weapon attachments, launchers, or equipment. However, Scavenger Pro does give each launcher an extra projectile.
Scavenger gives the player model a backpack and ammo pouches.

Pro Challenges

Resupplies — Resupply 150 times while using Scavenger.
Grenade Kills — Get 5 Lethal Grenade kills with a resupplied grenade.
Kill Count — Get 5 kills without dying 5 times.

I use Scavenger as I hate running out of ammo especially when you're on a large kill streak. The last thing I want to do is look for a new gun and end up with a shotgun or something equally pointless. Another great advantage is unlimited grenade refills.

New Week

I've had a fantastic start to the week not only have I just reached level 48 so I can nearly prestige again but I had a great run of free for all matches getting 30-2, 30-4, 30-6 and 29-3 resulting in getting up to rank 3 on the Free-For-All leader boards.

I'm mid way through my level fifth prestige, Its going well and it's great to be staying ahead of the majority of people I see online. I have got it set up quite well in what I do when I prestige. Firstly I go lightweight with my MP5 and play capture the flag. This is a great way to Level up early as its high points and easy to knife other players. This enables me to get to work on my Marathon Pro by getting 15 flag captures, once I hit around level ten I switch to a light machine gun and play mostly free for all and Team Deathmatch. with Steady Aim and Scavenger. Once I make level 21 it's the stoner all the way.
