Modern Warfare 3: Prestige Emblems

If you have been playing Call of Duty MW3 for a while then you may have noticed that some people have different emblems that you do. These are given to users who have gone through the Prestige levels. In order to Prestige you need to accumulate a total of 1,794,850 XP, which is shown in our MW3 XP Chart. You will need to do this through each level of Prestige in order to get new emblems.

MW3 Domination

If you are struggling keeping up with your friends or other players then buying a MW3 Multiplayer Strategy Guide will significantly improve your game. In my case it doubled my K/D (Kill to Death) ratio in just a few short weeks. The most popular strategy guide is the Kosh Guide. If you are looking for a review on this guide then take a look at our Modern Warfare 3 Guide page to learn more about using an Online Multiplayer Guide.

While most gamers buy Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for the Multiplayer mode, the Campaign mode has been greatly improved over past COD games. As you may have read in my MW3 Review, the campaign mode has an action packed story line that really keeps your on your toes.

While you are playing campaign mode, be sure you take a look at the MW3 Achievements list so that you can level up and increase your PSN and Xbox Trophies.

Going Prestige in MW3 is a lot different than any other Call of Duty game. After reaching rank 80, you have the option to go Prestige. Once in Prestige you get a different emblem, (MW3 Emblems) and you get the option to purchase different perks to use in the game. Each time you Prestige you get 1 token that can be used to unlock different Prestige Rewards.

MW3 Prestige Shop

  • Extra Custom Class
  • Double XP (2 hours in-game time)
  • Double Weapon XP
  • Regular Package (Call-sign Title and Emblem)
  • Unlock Gear (Choose one item that’s unlocked permanently)
  • Hardened Package
  • Veteran Package
  • Reset All Stats (resets everything, including your Prestige Level)

As an added bonus, if you have gone Prestige in other Call of Duty games then you will be rewarded with 1 token per game you have gone Prestige. Note: You can only receive 1 token per game.

If you want to learn more about how to Prestige and the fastest way to get there, check out the Kosh MW3 Guide.
