Modern Warfare 2 players blast seasonal prestige system that makes ranking up \u201cpointless\u201d ActivisionCall of Duty players have criticized the decision to stick with a recently established seasonal prestige system in Modern Warfare 2, claiming that it makes ranking up \u201cpointless\u201d. Prestiging has long been a part of Call of Duty multiplayer, with players eager to rank up online as fast as possible, unlocking weapons, equipment, skins, and more as they go. We\u2019ve already got a decent idea of Modern Warfare 2\u2019s weapons and the Mastery Camos players will grind for but, thanks to Activision\u2019s October 18 update, we now know that a seasonal prestige system will return, instead of the original CoD prestige system. Where the original system let players prestige whenever they wanted, the seasonal system resets players\u2019 ranks as in-game seasons cycle. However, a large portion of the player base appears to have been hoping for a return to the traditional CoD system because, with the news that the seasonal system will stay, plenty of prospective players have criticized the decision. MW2 players slam seasonal prestige system returning The Activision update confirmed that a pre-season will precede Season 1, which will bring its own battle pass and seasonal prestige. This was highlighted in a Reddit post, where numerous players vented their frustrations. One mocked Infinity Ward\u2019s previous requests for community feedback, saying: \u201cWe hear what you\u2019re saying and the answer is no\u201d. Another claimed the seasonal system takes the meaning out of leveling up, asking: \u201cWhy make leveling up pointless yet again? Why make double XP pointless if they\u2019re trying to sell it?\u201d A third said: \u201cWell, that\u2019s a hype killer. I really loved the traditional prestige with an unlock token each time. Was really hoping to see it back.\u201d However, others suggested that the decision for such a system, given its implementation in numerous past iterations, most likely stems from Activision. One commented: \u201cThis likely isn\u2019t even Infinity Ward specific. Treyarch did it and despite people not liking it, Sledgehammer did it. It\u2019s more likely Activision getting the devs to do it.\u201d Regardless, fans aren\u2019t pleased with the decision and have added it to the list of things they want to see adjusted ahead of the full game\u2019s launch on October 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
