MW3 Prestige Levels 16-20 to Be Added to Xbox 360 on May 15th, PS3 in June

4.3
Last week, we reported on the fact that the latest Modern Warfare 3 PC patch increased the number of prestige levels on the platform to 20. Also, we noted that Xbox 360 and PS3 users will get the same treatment at a later point.

In response to our earlier report, Infinity Ward on Twitter confirmed the addition to the PC version of the game, and gave PS3 and Xbox 360 a time frame as to when levels 16-20 will be added to Modern Warfare 3. “Yes, prestige 16-20 are out now on PC MW3. [The five new prestige levels] will release for Xbox on 5/15 and PS3 mid-June,” Infinity Ward stated. Five new prestige levels equate to 400 extra ranks.

Of course, the month gap between the two consoles didn’t sit well with some PS3 players. Activision’s Dan Amrich took to Twitter to clarify, “As I understand it, it’s more efficient to update multiple things in one game patch. I think that’s why PS3 adds MW3 prestiges in June w/DLC.” He added, “I say this because a lot of people are taking the delay as a personal insult. But nobody hates you; it’s just how patches work, AFAIK.” Releasing a patch for consoles reportedly costs $40,000.

It was recently announced that Xbox 360 users, with Elite premium subscriptions, will receive several DLC drops tomorrow, May 15th. Of course, PS3 players will have to wait until mid-June to get the new DLC along with the aforementioned prestige levels.

l3lack5h33p Wow this is really just getting ridiculous. 20 prestiges? I feel like they're trying to take away people's social lives now. 10 was enough!

Seriously, who actually wants to go to 20th?
It's really stupid

I don't understand why you are all trolling? I'm not even close to 10th as I reset my stats at 10th awhile back and quit for a few months. BUT, 20 Prestiges gives those who CAN play all the time the challenge. You can stop at 10th, 15th or whatever Prestige you like. Don't hate because YOU can't reach 20th Prestige. I know if I could have prestige on mw2 more (which I would have) I would be 20tg Prestige AT LEAST. Take in the consideration that it helps keep those who love the game by giving them a challenge.

KnucklesTheEchidna stopped at 10th months ago, and i plan to stay at 10th, i personally think anybody who passed 10th 80 is a idiot, 11th-20th all look the same, no titles or emblems, and by that point the only thing you should be able to buy with prestige tokens is double xp.

Classes.
