Yep... I like to have a lot of slots because depending on what mode i'm playing my kits could be different. Oh well.. prestiging isn't for everyone but I think it's fun enough.
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.
Some people want/need those extra custom class slots.
You keep all playercard related stuff, although you oddly still can't edit it until you earn that ability back.
You also keep recticle customizations per gun (once you unlock that ability again), but not camos. So as soon as you attach a red dot you can use your yellow smiley face.
But honestly, prestige is no fun in this game. You lose too much and it comes too soon. You won't start seriously unlocking pro perks till the mid 30s, some of the better weapons come at the end. And it locks you out of all of the customization stuff for no good reason.
They really screwed up leveling in this game, IMO. There are way too many challenges and you level up insanely fast, and unless you want to stay at level 50 for a while, there's no time to enjoy it.
They call it "prestige mode" but it's not really a separate game mode. All it does is reset your perks, equipment, challenges, etc. back to level 1, put an icon next to your name, and gives you another custom class slot. You keep your emblems and stuff but none of your weapons, attachments, or perks.
There are 15 prestiges now instead of 10 which I assume is why they set it up to level-up quicker. If you want time to enjoy stuff in the later stages then don't presige right away.
I agree, I'm at lvl 47 and I think that prestiging will take me maybe 40-60% as long to complete in this game as it did in MW2. And that's playing at a pretty leisurely pace (with quite a few wager matches included in my play timer).
BTW pat, did you get the game for the PS3 or 360?
What about the prestige lobbies? Same stuff, just only for people who have prestiged?They call it "prestige mode" but it's not really a separate game mode.

Hardline Pro was so easy to get. I got it in 1 round.
Got Slight of Hand Pro last night too.
Trying to get Ghost but no one uses sentry guns.

True, although for me I'm thinking that won't be as big of a deal as it was in MW2. I no longer have/need 3 UMP classes since there's only two or so different perk setups I use for all the weapons, no more tube class (THANKFULLY!), no sniper class, etc. 95% of the time I'm using one of two classes, at least at this point in my BO career.
I unlocked Second Chance Pro entirely by accident yesterday (I had 2/3 challenges completed for some time but the final challenges was headshot an enemy while in Second Chance). It was pure luck and since then I've been getting revived left and right by teammates which has boosted my k/d even more.

Had a chance to try the SP the last couple of nights, got the tail end of a rental. I don't know if anyone else has played through it, but I like it so far.
