Not to mention that it's impossible to tell exactly who "took advantage" of it really, so a lot of people end up banned/reset unfairly when they didn't even realize it was a glitch.

In the United States, if there's an exploit aka loophole in a tax law, and people are taking advantage of it, the IRS shouldn't (and doesn't) fine these people, or throw them in jail. It's up to the people making the tax laws to close/fix the loopholes.
The developers just need to fix the exploits. It's as simple as that.

And by this reasoning, no one should be banned/reset for the glitch/exploit, being that it was the Devs fault in the first place, and took them months to patch it, correct?

I totally 100% agree with you.

You're far too intelligent for this game. You need to go develop rockets with NASA. I do wish you the best of luck.

On a second note, though... I'm very suprised at the amount of responses (Well thought and spelled was probably the most surprising for some of these) since when I posted this thread, there wasn't a single reply the entire night.

After a rough weekend of moving to a new house and coming back to 40+ replies, I'm happy to see all of your debates largely negative towards the glitches that were very apparent in this game, and the attitude to have them removed ASAP.

What saddens me is this - Almost no one debated why the Prestige Token Glitch was frowned upon by the vast majority of CoD gamers. Anyone could do it, and I'm happy to see so many legit gamers, but what I see is a poorly made video game that is there to have fun with. It wasn't a cheat, a hack, or anything that someone else couldn't grasp and do themselves, yet everyone hates those who did it. Just curious as to why...

Your reply?

Wtf? Why did all of my Replies to others posts go all the way to the bottom of my thread? Now none of them make sense... Worthless.

I agree it should all be fixed. It's just a sad thing that these games are being released more and more with a 'We'll fix it later with patches' attitude. It's almost as though the Devs don't care about what the Game Testers say, because the fixes won't meet deadlines.

You make a good point with both statements, too. I go Type 95 Hybrid Sight/Rapid Fire and hold down the fort in S&D at bomb sites, all the while being called a 'Tryhard'. Sorry brah, I like winning.

Dude are you for real, I hate MLG more than prestige token glitchers. You can't play the game the way it's created and have to have it made to make yourselves look good **** off. But yeah the prestige token glitch is an exploit the developers overlooked and had to ban to even the odd. I don't care about guns or tactics you payed for the game so enjoy.

I totally agree with you. Being called a 'Tryhard' just gives me a warm feeling in my chest, because it just tells me I know I'm winning, and that's all that matters.

It was a glitch to have infinite negative prestige tokens, therefore buying infinite Double XP for your account and weapons. You could also purchase anything else in the prestige shop, not excluding a Portable Radar to carry through your levels to have it at Prestige1 level1 without leveling up to unlock it.

This is probably one of the best replies I have read, yet. I'm not finished, but you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Keep up the good work in your gaming.

I thought at first I was going to read an intelligent reply, then all I saw were grammatical errors in every other sentence. I don't always misspell and forget apostrophes, but when I do, I use spell check.

If you don't understand, then I'm not going to baby-talk it to you, bro.

Noob Tubing is frowned upon? So is CoD by most gamers who consider themselves 'Hardcore'. It's something in the game, I'm probably gonna use it, especially with Recon Pro, and DAMNED especially with how terribly hard the people in this game camp.

But the poorly implemented Rewind Time form of Lag Compensation has something to do with it when I die... lol

But I'm totally with you on that one. People just think they're better than what they are. Why do you think the douchefags on PS3 shlt-talk so much?

Well, I don't mean to say anyone in particular. Just that that's what I see a lot in the forum since I started really posting, but similar to "complainers" who "think they're perfect" and "blame everyone/thing else", those people will never cop to it because it'll make them look like idiots and not the "skilled" players they like to think they are.

It's why I tried to tell some people about how they're responding and to be careful about how they respond besides just outright bashing, insulting, etc everyone who brings up things. Otherwise, they'll end up doing just that and lose respect (if they had any to begin with).

Like as I said before, a lot of people accuse people who complain as crybabies and only wanting everyone to play how they want to play, but the thing is, saying "use it too" is just promoting a similar thing; having THOSE people use what they most likely think should be used.

I'm sure you have heard kids whining about OP'd weapons and whatnot, and your comeback is 'It's in the game, it's good, and it's being used for this purpose.' To some extent, anyway.

My argument is this - I agree completely in this aspect, why not use a weapon/attatchment/perk etc. that is obviously better than the competition? Why does everyone else agree? It's in the GAME. It's not a hack, it's not cheating. Agreed? Good.

My Question is this - If this is so largely an agreed topic, then why is this so largely debated? The Prestige Token glitch. Something that was (mistakenly or not) added to the game. Everyone had access to this, so why was it looked down upon? It's in the game and able to be used by anyone who is everyone, just like the MP7/Assassin Pro/Quickscoping, no?

Discuss. But remember to have fun.

Yeah, If there's something that's exploitable in the game, then I think it should be up to the developer to fix it ASAP and not waste any time banning people that have taken advantage.

I laugh at quick scopeing wanks too ,it takes forever for snipers to set up ,not MW3 you dont even need to see the **** just pull the trigger aim (if thats what you can call it ) and aim assist does it all for you

Just a few questions how is a sniper rifle with a scope designed to quickscope? to do this properly you dont even get to look through the scope. how is it the gun was designed to kill someone in one shot when you have a black transition screen from First person view to looking through the scope? That I dont understand. Sure it takes time to learn how quickly to puch the buttons. I still dont see this working as the rifle was intended.
