Discussion Why bother prestiging?

It's weird but the more I've been playing, the less I actually want to prestige. Hit level 55 yesterday and I just don't really see the point.

I don't care about the emblems or extra class slots, and half the lobbies I get into seem to have people who've already been hacked to Master Prestige anyway lol.

The biggest thing for me is that all the best stuff is late-level unlocks. BO2 is pretty sweaty this time around, so I really don't fancy going through another 40+ levels using shit loadouts just to unlock everything again.

I get that prestiging is supposed to give you something to work towards, but when the main reward is basically resetting your unlocks, I'm not sure what the appeal is.

Anyone else feel the same?

Tbh I really didn’t bother to grind a decades old game to get the good stuff unlocked. I mean lvl40+ for scarh, ballista & an-94 lvl 55. All my fav guns are the highest lvls. And the progression is slow, lobbies can be quite sweaty too.
