Prestiging

After the hubub and welcome of my child, in both crying or burrito mode, I hopped back on the COD bandwagon to help me make up some ground in my pretige quest. I was able to land a series of 10k challenges both planned and unplanned to get me to Level 65.  
 
The good news is I got my Danger Close Pro 10k achievement, the bad news is I have no ambition to remove my noob tube class. I did however realize I didn't unlock the shotgun for the SCAR so I'll go out and farm the last few to make that a reality.  
 
I also snagged the 10k, Slight of Hand Pro achievement. This is surprising because I thought I was nowhere close, but with my moving onto the UMP45 I opted for Slight of Hand when Bling (Rapid Fire and Red Dot) didn't do the trick.  
 
The classes now bit of an overhaul: 
 
Vera - Swapped out the ACN only 20 FMJ kills away from 20k xp.
M4A1 w/FMJ and Holo sight 
Striker w/Red Dot 
Frag/Stun 
Bling Pro 
Stopping Power Pro 
Steady Aim Pro 
 
Rocket Shoes- Graduated to UMP45 after a quick affair with the P90 
UMP45 Red Dot 
.44 Magnum w/FMJ 
Symtex/Stun 
Marathon Pro 
Stopping Power Pro 
Steady Aim Pro 
 
Boomstick- no changes, not digging the LMG's again. 
 L86 LSW w/Red Dot and Grip 
.44 Magnum w/FMJ 
Frag/Flash 
Bling Pro 
Stopping Power Pro 
Steady Aim Pro 
 
Fork Stab- from f2000 to SCAR-H after I realized I needed a few more tube kills to get the useless shotgun and handy 750 xp. 
SCAR-H w/ Grenade Launcher 
Thumper 
Claymore/Stun 
Scavenger Pro 
Danger Close Pro 
Steady Aim Pro 
 
Winona- Switched the gun and moved it over to just an anti-air/cold blooded class. This, with a few tweaks, becomes my class for Hardcore DM. 
M4A1 w/ FMJ 
Stinger (think its far better then the Javelin) 
Frag/Stun 
Slight of Hand Pro 
Cold Blooded 
Steady Aim Pro 
 
In other news I quickly rebeat Mass Effect getting Garrus, Wrex and Tali's side quests and sold it and a few other choice games for half off of ME2, guys gotta eat and buy diapers.  But I'm really looking forward to ME2 after watching videos and having a huge nerdgasm after I saw "the Stars of Mass Effect 2" on the official site. I mean you have Micheal Dorn (Worf), Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Kobb from Firefly), Tricia Helfer (Six from Battlestar Galactica), and my President for 7 years Martin Sheen (President Bartlett on The West Wing) all on the same screen. For a nerd of my caliber, its a perfect storm that may restore my virginity. 
 
 If Richard Dean-Anderson turns out to be the bad guy and accidentally fills out the primetime line up for the Sci Fi Channel in 1 game, I don't  know what would happen to my fragile little mind.
