CoD Meets Hamlet: To Prestige or Not To Prestige...

March 17, 2010
I was a bit late jumping on the bandwagon called Call of Duty. Now after putting several hours into multiplayer, I have reached level 70. I was weighing the pros and cons of prestiging and for some reason had flashbacks of having to read Hamlet in school. So, should I prestige or not?
To Prestige, or not to prestige--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to Pwn
The shots and Noob Tube of the ACR
Or to take arms against a sea of Noobs
And by opposing end them. To die, to final stand--
No more--and by a frag to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand UAVs
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to final stand--
To final stand--perchance to game winning kill: ay, there's the Ownage,
For in that sleep of death what Semtex may come
When we have shuffled off this rusted tower,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes life oh so long.
For who would bear the 1887s' and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's payback
The akimbo of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of the Scar, and the Famas
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare Javelin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the claymore kill something after death,
The undiscovered spot, from who snipes about
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those care packages we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the chopper gunner guns us all
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their Nuke turn awry
And lose the name of action. -- Leave the Lobby Quick!
The fair Infinity Ward! - Awesome, in thy orisons
Be all my K/D Ratio remembered.
(I decided to Prestige...)
