One of the things that keeps me playing this game is all the challenges - surely if you cheat yourself straight to 10th prestige, there are no challenges - nothing to aim for - no freaking point playing the game!!

I think the point on multiplayer is to play online with people, not complete challenges. Let's leave that to the singleplayer. Plus getting that specific gun or attachment can take ages, and when we really need them, it's a pain in the ass.

I'm lvl67 right now, no prestige. Got lots of fully-unlocked guns, camos, attachments and stuff. And I most likely won't be prestiging. I just can't afford to do the whole thing again.

There are still challenges, you just don't have to go through prestiging. Really the only difference is: More challenges (The Prestige), 10 custom slots, shiny rank, and a couple emblems and titles. Nothing more, though you do play less, which is a good thing imo.
