I always prestige as soon as I can. Its always been a goal to hit the top prestige but always fall short because I end up losing interest in the game come late summer. However, I am on a good pace with this game at a prestige a month. I know its not that fast but its working for me.

Don't forget there are 15 prestiges now...possibly 20 soon.

10 was enough for me, but 15 or 20? i am never hitting that.

I am going to max out my current prestige (I think #3) and call it a day. Complete all challenges, badges, emblems, guns, etc.

Do you really want to though? Stats like KDR/Accuracy don't really reflect your skill level.

Man, I remember getting pwned pretty badly when I first played MW1 online on the xbox. My kd on that was like .5 or something.

I sort of do, just from a competitive aspect. But yeah, stats don't reflect skill most of the time like you said.

I just wish the stats went way deeper. I'd like to get real specific, like order guns by k/d ratio in domination for the last month. Right now everything is just thrown all together with no context and you can't really learn anything from it. My highest K/D gun is the striker by FAR - because I played a few games of infected. I have really high K/D ratios with burst/semi weapons, but I'm only using those when I'm holding to a distance in TDM. I might be doing even better with another AR, but all the times I played domination with it drags the score down.

The data seems to be all there...we just need better tools to dig into it.

I think what I would love to see, is something that bases your skill level on how well you complete the objective, get kills / assists, death ratio, etc. all in a ranking / stat.

If anyone plays ESEA - Counter-strike 1.6, they have a system calculating in the form of RWS where the rating is based on planting/defusing the bomb, kills, damage done, etc.

I think that is done on the Elite website. I don't have access to the site right now since I am at work but I am pretty sure it does.

They do have a Win ratio and K/D ratio. They don't have anything like a overall skill stat.

Score per minute is about as close as it comes. That's not a very accurate by any means.

The win ratio is also completely and utterly useless because it includes games that you get dropped in halfway through.

Ahh yes, always forget the SPM lol

Yeah they are pretty useless stats when you look at them. Win/Loss Ratio doesn't mean jack because you can gather up a bunch of your friends and pub stomp.

Yeah, that blows. I play MW3 by myself a lot, so it's easy to get dropped into a match on the losing team with about 3,000 points or less versus a team with 6,000 points or more. On average, this will happen to me about 2-3 times a night. Also annoying, is getting placed into a match which has just ended, or is within 1 or 2 kills of ending. What's the point?

Haha, one of my friends does exactly this. His win/loss ratio is well over 3 because he consistently plays with at least 3 or 4 other guys and they rape public servers. Also, I think he has a 50 or 60 match win streak if I remember correctly.

With the release of the infected map, the w/l ratio is really useless now.

If you play the infected map, you are 99.999% guaranteed to win. No one ever survives uninfected so everyone gets a win at the end. It's so easy to pad your wins this way.

I've always felt those kind of games (community playlist) should be stat neutral.

Can you get a MOAB on Infected?

I played once, and got to 21 kills in a row. It was akimbo fmg9's. I was last one to survive, I was dipping and dodging like a boss. Ran out of ammo and had to get a scavenger pack, they finally got me.. darn. Lots of fun though. I felt like I was playing Nazi zombies for a minute.. haha

Might be a dumb question, but is the only way to play the new maps by going to the elite playlist?

Reason I ask is b/c I like to play HC KC mostly and if I go through the Advanced playlist game type, those 2 new maps (For PS3) don't ever show up. It seems like the only way to play the new maps is to go through those Elite playlists which rotate through a variety of gametypes.

Is there no specific way to play only HC KC with all maps (old + new)?
