Cause it makes them feel like they are real good warriors on the gaming battlefield. They want to keep ranking up and truly have nothing better to do with their time.

I personally don't prestige but some people do to get extra custom class slots, new shapes for your emblem and once u get to 14th prestige on BO you can buy gold guns.

u talking about cod?

if so,i think ppl prestge that much because they THINK they are lookin cool doing that.

but prestiging is not big deal,with hacks nowadays any noob can be 10th prestige not even playing any match. i think staying in prestige 0 makes u look tougher. :]

Because MLG douche-bags think it will make them look cool. There's nothing in store for it. I only do it if I get bored, and wanna do it again. It's kinda like playing the campaign of a game again.

I like prestiging. Not because it makes me 'look good', but only because I like to start over sometimes. Sure, it's a little pointless, but hell, ya know? I like starting over.

It's not like you have to.
