For reference, these are the emblems for each prestige in Black Ops!



I kind of like #10 myself.....

I was gonna stop at 3, but kinda like 4, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13. So little time ...

Yea...I'm currently on 3rd, and was going to stop at 5th...but kinda like 12, 13 & 14 so if I get there might as well finish it to the end...lol

At my rate of kills it would take 2 years are more to finish. I'll stay at one...

After listening to a few people in TS i was going to make this post myself, until i found this post by Spidie.
These emblems are still current and the best way of seeing how far off the gold guns you are (Prestige lvl 14 for gold guns sigh).

If you want to know more about leveling or unlocking stuff like the 'pro' perks etc here is the link.

My bayonet is sharp, and it has a Shotgun attachment.        (but not in Black Ops )

Prestige, What you talk about them prestige.
Be a long time for me.
