If you can't be bothered changing your classes all the time, then i would suggest you play infected because you keep using different guns and equipment and then you will be able to complete the first few challenges for all the different weapons. By the way, never waste a prestige token on double xp or weapon xp, you only get two hours of it, then it's gone.
I would reccomend you do unlock gear or extra custom classes. User Info: dendodennis. Sign Up for free or Log In if you already have an account to be able to ask and answer questions. Question Status Best way to power level in multiplayer?
Unanswered Is there a way to level up faster online? Please help Answered Is there any controversial level like no russian from mw2? Answered What level can I complete the fall 30ft and die challenge? Answered Does this game have a graphic content filter? Thanks for putting a lot of effort into this guide; it has proven very useful for me. I am brand new to online gaming but have been playing offline since the nintendo days. I was curious about something. I was wondering if you can provide your input.
I basically play HardCore Kill Confirmed. I am already at Prestigue 6 Rank Just wondering if I should switch back to Core rank up faster. Also, I recently started using the Specialy Kill Package. I debating about using specialist or support. I do use HardLine Pro with specialist so I get xp for the first kill instead of 50xp. Which setup will get me to rank up faster?
Which setup is best for Hard Core game modes and Core game modes? XP gains should be the same regardless of you playing core or hardcore. One thing that can help you get more kills and level up quicker in hardcore is to always use weapons that have a high min damage value… The ACR and MK14 are both 1 hit kills regardless of range or attachments with the exception of shooting through objects like walls … so they can be really deadly.
I would also like to know more about your clan. Xbox 2. Elite Win was just a clan I created to earn double XP and meet new people. Great guide, man! I tend to play competitively only against my friends. I currently am 7th prestige, level 47 with 3 days, 32 minutes played, but most of that is thanks to a tip from a friend of mine. I usually run SoH, Assassin and Marksman for my Assault classes and SoH, Hardline and Steady Aim for my specialist rushing classes, but I have turned onto a new method of earning quick XP and that is to use machine pistols and handguns as primaries as soon as you unlock them until you reach weapon level 10 with each one.
All in all, you get 10, XP times the amount of viable secondaries in the game 10 , which equals to a hefty , XP. Yes, it may be slightly unconventional and a little hard to get used to for the average Joe, but I find that I zoom through each secondary in roughly 2. To summarize, you have written an awesome guide but I believe you should include the secondary challenges in your guide for the more experienced players who find them a viable option.
My recommendation is to only use them in free-for-all and on maps you feel comfortable with, otherwise you might run into some trouble beating the stubborn SMG users and such.
Did you miss that or were you just saying to go into more detail about the challenges themselves? I agree that getting secondary mastery challenges are a great and often overlooked method of racking up a lot of 10k challenges. Oh, my bad. I just realized that I missed the second part of 3 entirely. The fastest I have seen someone hit max 10th prestige was just over 4 days in game time played, I think you might be on track to hit that!
Good job keep up the good work… and good job keeping your priorities straight.. Just tested the recon drone with hardline pro. Still good XP and damned useful but not as nice as your strategy suggests.
Thanks for the information, for some reason I thought they did since assault streaks stack. I will adjust the guide accordingly. Thanks for reading. You get 1 token per prestige, so you will get another token.
You can use that token to unlock gear at level 4 when create a class becomes available. First, Thanks for this guide. I am a lot like you married, 2 young children, a full-time job and a full-time student so COD time is extremely limited compared to what many people do each day. So it is nice to read a guide by a competent player that understands that dropping life to play a video game for 10 hours straight is not a viable option. I do have just a few questions that I would like to know the answers to if you or anyone has time: 1.
When you use a Prestige token to unlock a weapon for use in future prestige levels, is it just the early use of the weapon that is unlocked, or is it the weapon as is? For example: I am at level 75 of my first run normal still, no prestige yet and I am hoping to get that first token in the next few days, I want to make the best use out of it so I was planning on unlocking a weapon.
If I do, when I hit level 4 on my prestige run, will it be a bare bones ACR or will it be what it is now level 30 everything unlocked except gold camo? I have noticed that many people play Kill Confirmed a bit unusually: They will find a spot and take out enemies and leave the tags, even if they are just a few feet away as opposed to someone sniping from across the map and leaving tags. Is this a leveling strategy that works by essentially creating a sort of grinder that kills an enemy then turns that one kill into two and two to four and so on?
If so, is it more efficient than simply trying to win by getting the tags as quickly as possible? I have noticed that people will talk about which loadout they are going to use in the lobby. I am guessing that when you update your class selection section you will talk a little about this, but can you add in a bit about when and where to use each type as well as what the class should look like.
Or do you just do kills as they become unlocked and then move on? Again, thanks for taking the time to put this together in a way that is easy to understand and helpful to people that cant afford 80 hours of MW3 in a week. Hey, thanks for stopping by, to answer your questions: 1. Unlocking weapons only unlocks the bare weapon at level 4. No attachments or skins are carried over. As far as leveling goes this is actually advantageous to you though since using that weapon early allows you to get the marksman, mastery, and veteran challenges for the gun every prestige instead of just the first prestige you use it within.
So sometimes leaving a tag for your teammate to recover is the best strategy for helping both yourself and your teammates level up quickly. The same goes for your teammates killing enemies in that you should recover the enemies fallen tags when possible.
Yes leaving tags on the ground can be a good way to bait several enemies to the same location and rack up some kills. But as far as leveling quickly, both kills and recovering tags is important. Some players will go out in the open and lay a tactical insertion down, then when they die they immediately respawn and recover their own tags, effectively giving them 5 tags worth of XP.
Certainly, I can give recommendations based upon game types, but this also has a lot to do with your play style. If you are an aggressive player then an SMG runner class paired with an objective game mode like domination or Kill Confirmed will suit you well. I work on perk challenges to try and maximize actions per XP.
In other words I try to make classes that have perk challenges that cater to each other. For example Sleight of Hand, Quickdraw, Stalker, Kick, Red Dot can all be completed at the same time by getting kills while aiming down your sights. You can get exponentially more XP using perks that compliment each other. As far as guns go, I use prestige tokens to unlock the late unlock guns MP7, ACR, AK47 and use them at the start of a prestige, then I use the medium unlock weapons as they become available as you level up.
Working on it now, It should be done by the weekend. One last question: Is it worth purchasing an Elite membership? Is the DLC included in the membership or does it just become available for purchase to elite members first? And what other worth while benefits do you get? I dont think i would use it for too much other than DLC and maybe the prestige token you do get 1, right? If you choose to cancel your membership next year you always own the DLC content. Basically elite premium is worth it if you plan on buying the map packs.
In fact you get a discount for signing up for elite instead of buying the packs individually. Hey, great guide and i will sub to your You Tube channel. I had a question though, what is the best shotgun for leveling up and what smg is best for leveling up? The best shotgun overall is the striker. Using extended mags gives you 1. Add onto that the damage or range proficiency and you have a pretty good weapon.
Second best shotgun is the Spas. I am currently working on a method that will allow all of my subs to add a gamertag and then I will just send game invites out accordingly. I get called a hacker and stuff because I have 6 days 20 hours and 39 minutes gameplay at 9th prestige. Is it even possible for someone to get as high as I am in the same time I did or did I just fluke it?
Bookmarked this guide after about 2 mins of reading. Close to level 60 now…and my dilemma is that most guns already have Marskman past I know this strategy works well because my friend and I were at level 52 at the same time.
Just writing to say thanks — really helped. Hey — Infected is out — scoring is really slow so not even worth anything. Yeah if you already have Veteran II on your favorite guns then you have 2 options, work towards veteran III on a weapon you like or discover a new weapon that you enjoy using. Drop Zone strategy is the new way to upload fast…. It basically set me off into a whole new method of playing.
I kinda wanted to check in with you about it. I made an excel spread sheet with all of the guns other than the ones I had already used too much and coded them with their attachments, kills, and headshot challenges. Basically, its a printed check list for all of my challenges, so I can check them off easily in real time, while playing a round.
I am completely willing to e-mail it to anyone that wants to test it out. Super easy to plug in your own favorites.
Just e-mail me, and I will send it when I can. Depends on your match bonus and how much you do in game… Also if you have double XP and if you complete challenges during the game then that is ended to your end of game total.
With regards to the guy a couple of comments ago about the excel spreadsheet again awesome idea btw, you must have been very bored at work ;o. You could even recruit pretty low level page designer friend if you have one and you could link the info onto your page and make it completely intereactive.
Happy Hunting. Thanks for reading, hopefully the last few sections I add will help you out, as they are the most in depth and most advanced strategies for leveling up quickly. Your a fucking nerd. You need to start fucking the ole lady some more. Does she know your a gammer nerd? Do you have a pic of her? Sounds like she needs a good fuck. I believe YOU, son, are the lonely loser that needs a good ram up your ass.
Now run along child with your magazine and relieve yourself. Read every word and learned a lot. Thanks for spending time to share your knowledge.
Also do you know of a way to rank up your guns fast? Kill confirmed is on par if not better than domination. The more I play it the better leveling potential I see within it. No real way to rank up guns fast… Weapon XP is only earned from kills and weapon challenges. One strategy I have heard but never tested was to use a prestige token for double weapon XP then play Search and Destroy.
One thing im anticipating are the custom class layouts. I never really felt like working out any optimum classes. Any idea on when they might be available and is there a way to subscribe or something to let me know when the guide gets updated? Also would it be possible to send me that spreadsheet, would like to take a look at that too, sound like it could save some time going back and forth in the barracks. Thanks for taking the time and effort in making this guide. You can follow me on twitter.
Thank you for making such a fantastic guide. I also probably would have just stuck with TDM, but you sold Kill Confirmed and Team Defender so I tried them out and wow, they are way more intense and fun. I would definitely be interested in a Path to Prestige series for MW3 which you mentioned in your most recent video, that would be amazing. Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply to all these comments. Do you know why there is a discordance between the kills counted under the Marksman and Veteran challenges?
Or is that only happening to me for some reason…. Hello, your guide is absolutely amazing the in-depth breakdown is phenomenal and i just started using this tonight at level 62 and by morning i was already 21 levels into my 2nd prestige.
I wanted to know a couple things, First off is your clan recruiting at all i would absolutely love to join and be around more players such as yourself that way i can learn and show other people tips like these.
Second do you have any tips when it comes to sensitivity what ive come to realize is a lower sensitivity is more accurate and a higher setting is more alert, what is your preference?
Lastly could you post some classes you have made that have customized for quicker leveling. Our clan is at a stand still right now… Elite has a member limit so I am trying to figure out a way to split the clan into multiple clans under 1 general leadership… details will come soon I hope. A few exceptions play No one really plays above that unless you are sniping or run and gun like an smg with steady aim. How could i begin a clan of my own? Does it reflect air support shot down in the post game overview thing that shows how you got all your xp?
Excellent info for a poor aimer like myself. So I have to purchase tokens to get past rank 80?? Or am I finished with promotions?? If you choose to enter prestige mode you will reset your level to level 1 and earn a prestige token to use in the prestige shop.
Then you can continue through the 80 levels again and you get a different emblem next to your name. There are 10 prestige levels and emblems to unlock before maxing out, at which time you can choose to reset your stats with your final token and start all over again, if you are crazy enough to do that….
If I want to level quickly I would use a run and gun class that I can complete multiple challenges for at the same time. You can also track your challenges on the mobile Elite app in addition of selecting up to 50 challenges to track. Thanks for the tip, do you have the iOS app or the droid app?
I downloaded the droid app but it seemed very basic to me. I have the Android app. Yes, its basic in a sense, but you have to select the challenges on the PC in order to see it on the mobile.
However, it still is a neat little app, but needs more functionally, and user preferences. Hoping the developer will add and improve this app. I have a specialist class that i use at the beginning of a dom game — SMG, ext cond,hard line, sit rep. That would allow us to determine where the half way point would be. Very good guide.
Thank you and I hope to stay up on future changes although prest 10 is only a couple weeks away so I might get there before much more is added.
It took me a few weeks to figure this stuff out on my own and you still managed to add some new things to my leveling strategy. I never used specialist package before. Then I switch to support so I can get more of the higher rewards. After reading you guide a few days back, I am running a specialist package so all those bonuses are kicking in now while I am running through the last k exp of Prest 6.
I also like the career weapon bonuses and they have helped me a lot but I do them a little differently. I like to get one of the lesser used weapons just to the edge or then let it sit until AFTER I prestige. My rationale is simply that when you are in the last 15 levels of a prestige L you get a lot of experience just from game bonuses because your Scaler variable is so much higher, k exp per game.
While you are in the first levels of a prestige your game bonuses suck, less than 1k usually. So there is a significant benefit to passing through them in as few games as possible. The sooner you increase the Scaler the sooner you can get the higher game bonuses and your leveling will be much more efficient as a result. If Rule 1 is to win game for the bonuses then you have to also prioritize your current level as well. So the start of every prestige is basically: Get to level 4 in your first game exp..
Then complete all the BT challenges save the sniper one in the next game or two they are all very easy — just ignore the ghille one and get at least one 10k bonus from a weapon. At this point your other bonus tiers start kicking in so you can really get going quickly!!! Even for a mediocre player like me this is very doable!!!
Secondly: You gave a really good class outline for a leveling class. But I almost feel like you are teasing us because I know you really need a few classes to get through 80 levels rapidly.
And if you continue your reliance on challenges they pretty much should be completely different to expose new bonus tiers. In regards to your first comment, getting quick starts on your leveling definitely helps you out as your match bonus is in part determined by your level. The only issue that getting veteran challenges to or before you prestige is that you are also going to miss out on that marksman challenge, since your marksman challenge will never be ahead of your veteran challenge.
Your next prestige will start out with a huge jump start, since you are going to be able to get 6 kills with those 6 weapons and instantly jump up 60, XP.
The issue is that you also missed out on 60, XP from the previous prestige, when you reset your marksman challenges during the prestige. For this reason I always recommend achieving both the marksman and veteran challenges during a prestige.
One thing you can do however is line up your prestige challenges separate challenge section that is not veteran challenges to be able to complete them immediately after you prestige for a nice little early prestige boost. In regards to your second comment, yes I have several revisions that I am done with that I have not uploaded to the website yet. My entire website is going to be completely revamped with a new design and several new sections, to include more information than just the leveling guides.
I also have had offers from people trying to purchase my guides to include on their own websites. And I only do it with one or two bonuses per prestige. The prestige challenges are a nice touch that I have not incorporated yet. I know this upsets some people but time is precious and I would rather get my 20 kills and caps in a small-medium map then spend the whole time running around for 3 captures and come away with 11 or 12 kills. Liberation and Seatown are larger maps too but both have very playable close-range strategies for nubs like me and you can still get caps a match.
My vote will always go to the map where I typically get the most points not necessarily the most kills. It allows users to sprint for eight seconds instead of the usual four. The Pro variant allows users to climb obstacles faster. It is unlocked at level 22, and the Pro version being unlocked after sprinting 20 miles.
It seems like forever though… They really need to make Extreme Conditioning 4x sprint duration or Unlimited like Black Ops and then allow you to regenerate stamina faster. As it is now it is such an under powered perk. Be aware that this resets you to level 1 and takes away all your unlocks as well as giving you a new prestige icon and prestige token. So only do it if you want to repeat the leveling process through Thanks for taking the time to make such a great guide.
Reading this and watching the videos gave me a new perspective on playing MW3. BTW, what is your kill death ratio? Right now my KD is 2. Quick question…. Do silencers affect the damage dealt by the gun. Will it take hit markers to take down that enemy with a silencer attached to your gun? Silencers make it so that your weapon damage drop off begins at a shorter distance. For example the ACR does 45 damage up close and 30 damage at long distance.
In other words, adding a silencer to any weapon will make it the same amount of hits required to kill up close and at a long distance, but at mid range there are going to be certain distances where your weapon requires 1 more shot. Thanks for the reply. Awesome article, thanks for taking the time and putting it together! First things first — Thank you very much for this massively helpful and substantial article! Sometimes I got the feeling that the damage drop off varies… strange thing.
And it is a real huge load of fun to track down dozens of enemies with the Model or to build up a makeshift assault rifle with the RSASS e. Thanks for stopping by! I will post on my youtube channel when the site redesign is launched so feel free to subscribe at youtube. Dear Otrademark, I Have a tip if this is in your artical im sorry i just wanna tell u Have a great gun in a class, with a stinger, an EMP and a Frag, Scavenger, Sitrep, and somthing else. Use the stinger to take down aircrafts, use emp on Pave lows, and a Frag if you run out of ammo.
Sitrep will make you unstopable from Claymores, Bouncing bets. Thanks for the tip, you sound like a very helpful teammate, your class setup is extremely beneficial for your team. It is a gamertag I made for all the people who find me through this website.
Thank you for detailed information. I have been playing games since pacman! I am in level 50 and it has taken me quite a bit of time 24 hours or so of playing it to get to that. Although I am better than before because I know where enemies can emerge and I have better guns, my reaction time is not as fast as my days playing Unreal Tournament online and normally being on top. Since you are married with children, I am wondering how old you are and whether my slower reaction time can be associated with my age, or I will have better skills once I reach level I am Reaction speed — This is pure physical and mental reaction speed.
How quick can you react when seeing someone… How fast can you pull the trigger. Twitch reflexes. This area will obviously be affected by your physical condition and age as well as factors like eyesight, general health, etc. This is similar to reaction speed but different.
This is how well your hands do what your mind is telling them to do. How long can you keep your gun on target of the enemy, how well can you manipulate the controller to do what you want. For example jumping into a prone drop shot requires a lot of controller skill. Game knowledge — game knowledge itself is broken down into a ton of areas and this is in my opinion the biggest area for most people to improve on. Game knowledge includes map layouts, spawn manipulation, weapon statistics, game physics, etc.
The best way to improve your game knowledge is reading, watching and practicing. Reading guides like this one, watching streams and videos on youtube, then taking that information and applying it to in game practice. Mental awareness — mental awareness is the ability for your mind to absorb all of the information being given to you in the game and then your capacity to react and adapt to that information. Inexperienced gamers have static mindsets.
They watch only what is happening right in front of them and they have a very narrow focus. Very experienced gamers are able to absorb everything going on around them.
They hear their teammates, they see the dots on their minimap, they know approximately how many shots are left in their current magazine and how much ammunition they have in reserve, they know the score of the game and how much time is left in the game, they hear footsteps, gunshots, equipment, and explosions, they see the edges of enemy weapons and equipment poking out around a corner.
They are absorbing everything that they see, hear and feel within the game and then reacting to that information. Mental awareness works hand and hand with game knowledge. Intuition — Intuition is the ability to sense or feel what is going to happen. Intuition separates good players from great players. I know that this area can sound silly but this is essentially your gamer instincts so to speak. It is the ability to sense what is going to happen based upon your previous experiences and current premonitions.
Intuition without being strong in the above 4 areas is useless, but this is how champions are born. It is a players ability to go beyond their practice, and sense what is necessary to win. That is the most basic thing you can do to improve your skill in a game. After that work on your mental awareness.
Reaction speed is inherent and controller skill is just developed over time. ACR is beast silenced but it is still kind of loud. Also, Blind Eye and Assassin are good for hiding from enemies but Dead silence is better for stealth than stalker… especially combined with a surround sound headset. There are certain methods in sabotage that would allow high point and XP gains but they require the co-operation of your team.
I run UAV and Ballistic vest leaving the 3rd spot open. Also this means your team always has UAV and vests litter the floor everywhere. I play mostly Domination which has a more predictable spawn pattern so it works well for this method as your team spawns near your vests more often.
Wish I would have found your site before unlocking the FAD, lol. Yeah stay tuned I have quite a few series I will be launching when I start the youtube channel growth contest 3. Check your current marksman challenges compared to your veteran challenges. There are 2 veteran challenges that are key. Veteran 1 at kills and Veteran 2 at kills. You want your marksman challenges to line up to those veteran challenges before moving onto another weapon to be most efficient.
If you get more kills you will get 10k experience for veteran 2 kills but you would only be at kills for marksman. If you were to prestige at that point you miss out on the 10k marksman challenge for the ACR to hit kills on the marksman.
So to be most efficient you want to be getting the following challenges each prestige for the primary weapons you choose to use during that prestige: 1. As you can see… If you were to get kills per prestige, you would go through 5 weapons each prestige for a total of 2 prestiges before moving onto 5 new primary weapons.
If you were to do this same thing for all 10 prestige levels then you would use approximately 25 primary weapons by the time you maxed out. Team play is important to getting big match bonuses.
As far as strategy goes I think camping is actually a slower leveling method. Exactly, the ACR is essentially hurting you at this point because no veteran challenges are being rewarded.
Usually when a gun hits kills in line with a veteran challenge you earn 20k exp while with your ACR you would only be earning 10k exp. The MP7 is out of line of the veteran challenge but at least there is still something there to be earned. You could get the Marksman V kills this prestige then work towards kills the next prestige which would get you both Marksman VI and Veteran III on your next prestige.
Marksman, Mastery, and Veteran for 2 prestiges. If you need weapon suggestions, these are the guns I used while leveling up. It is easier to get better with the MK 14 when you play hardcore, since it is essentially a one shot kill.
Very informative…. Well assault will get hardline pro faster, but specialist has better leveling potential so I use specialist almost exclusively once I get to level If you want to get brutal then get a guide or some on to teach you how to play. Hey, really nice guide. Thanks for taking the time to put it together!
Now this may be a silly question, but I have seen people on the lobby leaderboard who have kills and they are prestige level 6 and up. Their score is equal to the amount of kills they have.

Second, using prestige tokens on double xp is a total waste. If you want double xp, use Doritos or Mt. Save the prestige tokens to unlock custom classes and weapons you don't want to have to wait for. It won't make enough of a difference in leveling times to really matter, but having the guns you like will certainly make the earlier prestiges much less bothersome.
