MW3 players miss CoD\u2019s classic prestige system over \u201cweird\u201d seasonal progression TreyarchModern Warfare 3 players are reminiscing, claiming they miss Call of Duty\u2019s old prestige system rather than the new \u201cweird\u201d seasonal progression system. Over the years, we\u2019ve seen a ton of changes to Call of Duty. For a while, we went through the era of exo suits, before returning to the classic boots-on-the-ground style of play. Throughout the franchise, we\u2019ve also seen a ton of changes to the loadout system, movement, skill-based matchmaking, and more. With 2019\u2019s Modern Warfare, players saw a huge overhaul to CoD\u2019s progression system, where instead of the prestige system which has been a staple in the franchise for over a decade, the devs opted for seasonal progression. As a result, players are now claiming they miss Call of Duty\u2019s old prestige system. MW3 players reminisce on old prestige system In a November 25 Reddit thread, one MW3 player explained they miss being able to prestige, where previously players would need to get to the max rank, before being able to prestige \u2014 consequently resetting them back to rank one. \u201cThis probably just shows how long it\u2019s been since I\u2019ve enjoyed a CoD enough to think about it, but I really wish I could prestige,\u201d they wrote. \u201cIt was always a kind of personal marker for myself as to how much I liked that particular CoD, and frankly I got a kick out of my MP on MW2 saying it was 500% complete,\u201d the player explained. They added: \u201cI\u2019m sure there\u2019s some reason they removed it? I\u2019ve just definitely already played MWIII enough to have prestiged at least twice by now. For clarification, I\u2019m talking about when it used to be hitting max rank, going prestige, reverting to rank 1, instead of this weird seasonal prestige.\u201d Other players in the replies agreed, and stated they miss the old system too. Some made note that the current system wastes XP as they\u2019re stuck at the max rank till the next season. \u201cI miss it too, man so much. It sucks being level gated and wasting XP for nothing,\u201d said one. \u201cAll of this XP from the beginning of the game is being wasted since they capped it at 55,\u201d another responded. One player claimed the old prestige system always kept the game \u201cinteresting\u201d and \u201cchallenging.\u201d Some were baffled as to why the devs removed it in the first place. \u201cWhy did they remove it? I haven\u2019t played COD in several years but it was a staple feature,\u201d a player explained. While it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll see the system be reverted in Modern Warfare 3, we could perhaps see the prestige system return in the next Call of Duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
