Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Icons

Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Icons

As you may know, there are 15 levels of Prestige in Call of Duty: Black Ops, five more than any other CoD before it. Below you will find images of all fifteen Prestige Icons. They all look pretty cool but which one do you like best, and which one are you aiming for?

    Hey everybody. I’m the boogie man. I’ll be able to add gold camo to my guns this week. But it’s weak sauce dudes. Gold camo stands out- counter productive for camo, don’t you think? I love it when I see unsuspecting enemies across the field with gleaming guns that scream out “I’m here! shoot me!” By all means, try them out and use them against me. lol. What I do want is the colored clan tag and that animated playercard background. Anyways, hit me up if you want to test your skills against me, or just want to play it up. I’m game. lol

        Haha, you’re an xbox player, aren’t you? It’s weird. the past several xbox players I talked to, the conversation goes like this.

        Me: “Yeah! I play cod too. Do you do the ps3 server?? My ranking is pretty high in the leaderboards.”
        Xbox player: “Eh. Xbox server is more competitive.”
        Me: “Oh serious? No way. I’ve played it on xbox (at a friend’s) and ps3. I don’t see a difference. Have you played both servers?”
        Xbox player: “Nope.”
        Me: “…then…how do you know xbox is more competitive?”
        Xbox player: “(long pause)… I hate your face!” o_O

          lets just say that i have played on both servers and they are just as competitive as each other i have been told by a ps3 player that xbox offers better service compared to xbox but i like to say that xbox you can find things easier then ps3 but ps3 is a free server and you dont have to fork out extra doe for gaming online unlike xbox where you bay by credit card and it is $11 a month or you grab a card that gives you 14 months online for $80 at some stores and i like playstation controllers better then xbox controllers

          There is no possible way to say that one console can be better than the other. 1) they are different prices, 2) they have different supplier audiences and 3) they are pretty much the same, but one console is slightly better than the other in a certain section and vice versa for the next, people who say that one is better than the other could be classed as small minded, but the only way you can say one is better than the other is through personal preference, which should stay in your own head.

            Actually thats where you are wrong mate, first off, the price doesnt matter if you are searching for the best quality console. Now I dont own an xbox and have barely played on it so im not going to judge the online part, what is a fact however is that ps3 is WAY more powerful than the xbox 360. That is the reason why xbox doesnt have gran turismo 5, its to massive for it to handle and thats why I got ps3. And if you want to argue about games that ps3 doesnt have, we have killzone, god of war, resistance, uncharted, infamous, want me to continue? They are all epic games, look for yourself in wiki for ps3 and xbox only games and look at the major titles, for xbox i only found halo and gears of war. Im not hating on xbox and admit that i have limited knowledge about xbox, so if you think im wrong, give me the facts why im wrong, and dont be a troll.

    I’m prestige 9 without boosting. The best way to prestige is headquarters. You can easily get 17k+ each game, depending on your team and if they actually play the mode! But be sure to back out of the pre-game lobby if you are playing a clan (4+ people with high prestiges) and your team is full of randoms! Otherwise, you’ll get chopper gunnered and attacked dogged throughout!

    • Josh says:

      I agree with what he is saying. I play headquarters and as long as your team captures one headquarters you will get xp, even if you didnt kill anybody. If you are good at Headquarters there is a lot of xp involved in one game. I see many people with scores of 3,500+ coming out of headquarters.

  6. Corey Taylor says:

    I’m 14th prestige level 15. No boosting. It took me a lot longer then it did most people. I know people who HAD 9 days online and they were 15th prestige. I’m not that great. Probably because rushing isn’t smart since everyone is camping out or hiding behind something momentarily. I approve of N00b Tubes & RC-XD’s…flushes out b***hes who can’t shoot you unless 90% of there body is behind something so you have to get a quick headshot or else you’re screwed.

    The only tips I could give out are:
    -Play Headquarters (Flak Jacket Pro, Sleight of Hand, Tactical Mask Pro, *Tactical Insertion* – Your best bet for staying alive, not getting flashed or nova gassed, and you don’t have to run all the way back to the HQ if somebody shoots you at the HQ.)

    -Play Search & Destroy (You basically have to camp out or you’re going to be the first person wasted. Check all your corners. Ghost Pro & Hacker Pro so you’re not on radar & you don’t get tripped up by claymores or so you know if they’re chillin’ with a Motion Sensor.) *You won’t show up on there motion sensor with Hacker Pro.*

    -Play Demolition occasionally. It’ll give you decent XP.

    That’s all I’ve got for anybody who needs tips on how to level up fast. No negative feedback to this please. Just trying to help.

    Oh, and if you can get an 8 killstreak, select Blackbird. Probably the most annoying/helpful/amazing/s**t, I gotta hide! killstreak there is. Choppers get taken out by Strela’s, so I use Attack Dogs (if I can even get that high.)

    Feel free to add me on XBL: “coreytaylor”

      unfortunately the only way to avoid being killed as much is to just play until you’re better. we all got killed alot at first you’ll get better trust me. you could try doing combat training but it doesn’t do much justice to the difficulty of the real thing. just don’t resort to camping that is the worst thing you can do. honestly if i see a camper i will go out of my way to blow them up. so yeah camping is no good.

      Seriously? If you have the 5 stars you are a “0″ prestige. You haven’t prestiged at all.

      Like or Dislike: Thumb up 5 Thumb down 8

    • EpicOne says:

      Oh yeah…if you keep dying, try avoiding doing the same thing over and over, because that is how people die easily. If you get killed, don’t rage and go back to that exact same place, or you will die again. Keep to the edges of the map, DON’T CAMP.

      One last, very important tip: WATCH THE RADAR/ MINIMAP. If you have a spy plane or Blackbird up, you can see all your enemies on it and see their proximity to you. Also, with un-Suppressed weps, if enemies shoot those, they show up on the mini-map and you can decide what to do next based on their location.

      Other than playing safely and strategically, it’s really all about reflexes.

    I’ve been playing about 5 hours a day in real life during this summer, and prestiged 6x in the past 2 months. That’s a little less than 2 weeks for one prestige. On the gameplay time it says I have 4 days and a couple of hours of time alive. I find that search and destroy helps with a lot of xp, but team deathmatch helps keep your k/d ratio up. I have a 1.37 k/d ratio, if your looking for more people in your clan, add me as a friend: killer016g on xbox network. Thanks

    Black Ops has been hours of fun, has a better layout than MW2, kinda lacks on maps and being charged 1200 ms points puts the investment of around 110$ on the game.. its been worth the time ive put in playing. Ive played 20days 22hours, 14th prestige level 50, not going to 15th, no point… it took me around 15-22hrs, got lower as i played more. my advice, switch up your game modes and guns/attachments because you earn tons of xp through completing challenges. and always buy contracts, free Xp so take it! TDM with a team is where its at tho! ctf and s&d are also great game types… enjoy~

      Well mate, when you reach the maximum level (50) and have gotten all of the exp available, on the playercard there is an option at the bottom which is called ‘Prestige Mode’. Basically, you can stay a level 50 on any Prestige for as long as you like before you choose to Prestige, so if you liked the 4th Prestige emblem for example, you can stay level 50 4th Prestige for as long as you like. But once you’ve Prestiged, you cannot go back to the Prestige before.

      You may of stayed at level 50 for a long time without going through the procedure of Prestidigitation, meaning that for hours on end you have not levelled up. Also, you may be slightly confused about what Prestige you are on, so check your emblem besides your level, and check it up on the images above, if your emblem does not match any at the top, that simply means you have not undergone Prestidigitation.

    Black ops is one of the most unsatisfying cod game out there. Nothing but Connections interrupted,unnecessary host migrations, lags, and campers. If all you do is sit in a corner and wait for someone to walk by to get a kill , then you obviously suck at the game, and you trashy people call your self “good”. nothing but garbage is what i hear. There is no secret to prestige faster than the next person. JUST PLAY THE F**KING GAME AND ENJOY IT!!! people are so desperate for gold guns and colour clan tags, but seriously just play the game legit a=you will feel more satisfied when you can actually say “i accomplished that” instead of i hacked or boosted. you cheating scum bags suck and make the game unfair and you assholes wonder why we stop playing and just go to zombies. yea because of you d**k wipes.

      LOL. Guys, there is no secret to prestiging really fast. If you prestige once every week which is a pretty fast rate, it still takes 4 months from level 1(16 weeks as 15 for the 15 prestiges and the last week for getting level 50 on 15th prestige) until you can’t level up anymore. So you might as well suck it up and enjoy the game as this guy says because like it or not, it’ll take you a while. Now that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the game despite the lag, bad hosts, and campers but it does make it worst. I am only 6th prestige… Anyways guys, enjoy your game.
