This Weekend's Black Ops Prestige Bonus For MW3 Unlock is Unfair and Plain Wrong

On the Black Ops multiplayer this week it is advertising double XP and for anyone who Prestiges between Friday and Tuesday, a free Prestige Unlock for MW3 Prestige Shop.
Not only is this flogging the Black Ops horse as it limps to the stable but it is grossly unfair and should have nothing to do with MW3. The game (MW3) is a new title and those who do not own a predecessor (actually seperate title), should not have any unlock-disadvantage. On top of this, those who don't want to Prestige on Black Ops, don't manage it or can't because they're already Prestige 15 (like a good little soldier) are actually disadvantaged! Terrible. I know that there is minimal if any combat advantage but there is a promotion and gameplay (via options/unlock) advantage. Someone can have an extra XP unlock or custom class. Why?
I don't really see the difference between this and a hack to achieve this, except that it is authorised.
1. You don't have to prestige this weekend. You could have prestiged at any time
2. Its to keep interest in the series, to get more people to play the cod series before the release of MW3
3. It's to reward long-time players of the series

I dont think it matters if you prestige during that time.. its only if you HAVE prestiged, so the 15th prestiges will still get that bonus token. To be quite honest, i see no problem with this, because most people that really care about this are the people that are getting this game as their first COD game. Why not give a little thank you to its loyal fans? Its not like getting a little extra XP or an extra slot is really gonna give them THAT big of an advantage..
Ok, so that is not how it is worded on Black Ops, but fair enough. Okay for me and my 100+ online COD days across 4 games but still not so fair on those who played MW2 a lot but disliked Black Ops issues. Maybe that's it, a reward for you patience on Bops. Anyway, how do you claim it?
Actually, if you have already prestiged then you will get the extra token. I don't have WAW but I'm not complaining. Just get as many as you can, all the double xp is for is to help you.

Remember you only get 1 prestige token per game NOT for every prestige you've done in the past.
So i will probably hit prestige just for the token in Cod4, i'm 9th prestige on mw2, and im only 2nd prestige on b.o so i will only get 3 prestige tokens not 13.
People should just play MW3 straight up without Mountain Dew double xp or any other crap.
That's what I'm doing. I'll earn all my perks/guns.
This thread fails so hard.
You dont even get to use the prestige tokens until you have already prestiged once in MW3--that is when the prestige shop opens up. Stop looking for information to complain about on black ops and start reading the site and other mw3 sites for your information.
yipee
I wasn't looking for info to moan about. I though the whole offer was wrong and unfair but people have put me right on some facts and I have ackowledged that- above, which I see you did not even read. I still feel that Black Ops is an entirely different COD and that bonuses between games are a bit tacky in light of milking an old game.
U don't have to prestige between friday and tuesday. You can prestige at any time.
Personally , i think that its good that they're doing the MW3 Prestige Token thing , They know lots of people who purchased MW2 and Black Ops are going to buy MW3 , Its just there way of rewarding them and making their MW3 Careers easier.
Thanks
Phil,
I think it stinks. Its just wrong. I'm a 15 prestidge, and worked for it now they say people who sucked to begin with get a bonus. YOU SUCK!!!!!!!

So you took up 4 posts just to point out you dont understand English yet. If you have ever prestiged in any CoD before you will get a token. Period.
