When you reach the maximum level - level 55 - in Call of Duty 4, you are given the opportunity to enter Prestige Mode, which basically strips you of all your weapons, attachments and perks that you have earned through the levels. You start back at level one and all you have to show for it is a fancy new medal. I had apparently forgotten when I was clicking “yes” how long it actually took me to get to level 55 and then let out a horrific screech as I realized the mistake I had made. So this is a warning to you all, make sure you really REALLY want to start everything all over again before you enter Prestige Mode.
Well if you’ll excuse me, I have 54 levels to gain again.
