Reached level 55 the other day. Nothing left to do but finish all the challenges.

Thats what Prestige mode is there for.
Yes, but I don't want to do Prestige mode. I like having two primary weapons instead of a crappy pistol. I like having 3 nades instead of 1.
Prestige mode? No thanks.
The Desert Eagle is not crappy. When I get into very close quarters situations I pull that bastard out instead of my M14. Works like a charm... But anyways:
What's your custom slots like? I think this is the best part of the game I'm always changing around my slots trying to adjust them to work with a particular map or gametype. Here are mine:
For maps like Crossfire, Custom Slot 1:
M4 Carbine(ACOG Scope)
Desert Eagle
Perk 1: Frag x3
Perk 2: Stopping Power
Perk 3: Martyrdom
Spec. Grenade: Stun
For sniping, Custom Slot 2:
M21(currently leveling)
M1014
Perk 1: Weapon attachment: Grip
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Iron Lungs
Spec. Grenade: Stun
For an all purpose use assault kit, Custom Slot 3:
G36C(M203 attachment)
Desert Eagle
Perk 2: Sonic Boom
Perk 3: Martyrdom
Spec. Grenade: Stun
All purpose semi auto kit, Custom Slot 4:
M14(Red Dot Sight)
Desert Eagle
Perk 1: Frag x3
Perk 2: Stopping Power
Perk 3: Deep Impact
Spec. Grenade: Stun
I call it the Ghost kit...Custom Slot 5:
MP5(Silenced)
M9(Silenced)
Perk 1: C4 x2
Perk 2: UAV Jammer
Perk 3: Dead Silence
Spec. Grenade: Flash
I'm trying to level the M14 till I can get the silencer for it and see how that works with the "Ghost" kit since the MP5's range is horrifically cut down to next to nothing with the silencer. I made it specifically for Search & Destroy gametypes but with the range of the silenced MP5 it's useless on more long range maps. So I'm usually resorted to using it only when i'm defending or not use it at all.
Holy poop Eric. I'll have to type out my specs when I'm not intoxicated and don't have myself sitting in a game lobby. I'm going to try out your ghost kit for sure. 👍
Then I would argue it's easy to get up to the levels you unlock the weapons again. IMO leveling only starts to become a little hard again past lvl 40 - by then you've unlocked almost everything decent except the .50 cal.

I quite agree. I'm currently on level 41 (or 41, can't remember exactly) of 3rd Prestige, and the more you go through the whole process of starting over, the more experience you realize you have, so it gets easier and easier.
You get to level 10 in less than a day of casual playing, and then you start completing some of the challenges naturally, which gain you XP that boost you up to level 20 or more within another day. After that, as you'll have some of the most useful stuff unlocked already, it's not very different than being on level 55.
Unless, of course, you absolutely need an MP44, a Barret .50Cal, or the Eavesdrop perk to do well through the matches, which is unlikely.
I'm like that too, I'm constantly changing my Classes, sometimes even before a specific match, to change a perk that fits that map better for example.
I can't remember exactly what I'm using right now on all my slots, but I'll check at lunchtime and post them here.
BTW, great setups you have, pretty cool combinations. But do you like the ACOG on the M4? I find it useful (on any weapon) only on very specific situations, such as your target being at mid-range (or a bit less), or running across your field of view, and the zoomed ACOG helps to maintain the aiming at his speed. Other than that, I've never got used to it.
Also, you're using, like magburner also, a 'ghost' or 'stealth' setup with the Dead Silence perk, is it really worth it? I've never tried it myself, as I can be pretty stealthy without it, even on maps like Bloc; I use current fire noise to run without being noticed, then walk, and when I know I'm getting close to someone, I crouch and move in silence. Wouldn't that perk be more useful with the Extreme Conditioning? I'm just asking, as like I said, I've never tried it.
Anyone knows if the stats are working already?
Prestige IS fun, without it game would be dull IMHO.
First time you need an eternity to do something, but second time it's faster. Third is a breeze, etc. You need like 10 minutes to get to Rank 5 to open Custom Slots, and then the fun starts. I've done Prestige on my Xbox game twice, while I'm playing it for the 1st time on PS3. I needed 9 hours of the game to get to Rank 30, and now when the Killer challenges are finaly opened, the fun can start for real.
Prestige is great, it has nothing to do with the symbols beside your ID, it's pure F.U.N. It also makes you learn to use all the goddamn weapons in the game - in order to do your rankings faster - which is also very good. Prestige actually makes you a better player, since you're no strained with idea you have to use only your preferred weapon/slotting. Not to mention that you actually have a walk in the park with some challenges in Prestige, because you actually have an idea what you need to do, and you actually know how to do it.
BTW Beerz, what happpend yesterday? I tried to hail you twice in my Croatian party, you didn't showed up![]()
Hm, maybe you have "static IP" problem - yesterday I finally got to make my console's IP static, have opened "mysteriuos" 3095 UDP port on the router and voila - for the first time I have no problem whatsover with hosting.
Additionaly, I've opened this ports too, read somewhere they're COD4 specific:
5223 to 5223 TCP
3478 to 3479 UDP
3658 to 3658 UDP (NAT 2)
+ COD4:
3074 to 3074 UDP
3075 to 3075 UDP
3095 to 3095 UDP (host issue)
And do you remeber the ID of that humble Croatian? Maybe we could make him a resident on our clan?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I just played a Sabotage match. Every time someone got the bomb, they got killed. I found a nest of enemies, killed them. It was 0-0 until 32 seconds from the end. I found the bomb in the middle of nowhere, picked it up and ran to the enemy base with no wingmen. I planted the bomb, defended it with two compatriots who'd turned up by then and, ker-blammo, 2 seconds from the end of time we go 1-0 up (killed three of them at the same time). I (there is no "I" in team, but there is a "me") won the match.
So why the exasperated yell? Because I scored the lowest number of points of anyone in the match. I got 312 bonus points, which is by some way a record for me but even so... Grrrrrrr.
So it really works? How do I do that?![]()
