I've actually stopped prestiging on MW3 now (well I stopped weeks ago, but whatever), I've established that prestige 5 is when I can make an entire class (1 token from Black Ops, 1 from WaW, 4 from MW3. I can have two primaries, 3 perks and an equipment, so I would essentially have that 1337 MP7 Gold by level 30 and continue to use it until 80 (if I can get a perfectly balanced gun like the MP5 to gold by 31, the semi-op MP7 will be gold sooner). You'll still be ridiculed praised by the community because of your overpowered weapon.

"I'm sorry but the only reason Prestige was brought in was because it's boring to be a max level forever, so you reset back to level 1."

That's it, but in MW3's case I say we all get our pitchforks and shotguns and raid the house of whoever came up with the idea of the Prestige Token.
