From Call of Duty 4 progression notes
What was said about Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty 4 put RPG levels on top of an online shooter. XP earned in matches levels players up and buys guns, kill streaks and perks. Progression becomes a reason to keep playing beyond winning each match.
Every perk comes with disadvantages and counters, so unlocks give players choices rather than strict upgrades.
Prestige makes the top reward a reset to level zero. At the top of the progression, players can choose "prestige", which sends them back to level zero.
The source presents this as the game's highest reward, not a penalty.
