The prestige system ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas been well received, largely due to the amount of content seen inside the Prestige Shop. However, whileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans have plenty to unlock, some are waiting for some specificCall of Duty: Black Ops 2emblems before they spend their Prestige Keys.
Specifically,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarZombies fansare asking for the skull emblems that made up theCall of Duty: Black Ops 2Zombies ranks. While the Zombies modes that have followed the secondBlack Opsgame all featured traditional, XP-based progression, the system forCall of Duty: Black Ops 2was vague. Treyarch never told players how to level up, instead leaving it up to gamers to figure out how the system worked.

While it took some time, players eventually discovered that the system was based on a kill/down ratio. If requirements were met for several matches in a row, an emblem’s eyes would turn blue, with the eyes able to be lost if players stopped meeting the requirement. If they stayed blue for long enough, a new emblem was awarded, with the top-level being a blue-eyed skull with shotguns around it. While the system is likely gone for good, Redditors like BlackBurn115 are pushing for the emblems tocome to the Prestige Shop.
Redditors like simplytatered tell the player “you’re not alone,” with clear interest for the emblems seen via the post’s 500 upvotes. WhileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s prestigesdo make use of a skull, the designs are more sleek and metallic than the skulls seen inCall of Duty: Black Ops 2Zombies. The blue eyes concept is also unseen in other prestige emblems, as are the tallies by the side of the icon. While including all may not be necessary, as the bones were never as popular as the skulls, seeing a few of these emblems brought over would be fun.
As pointed out by Reddit user x678-Mx,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Prestige Shop allows gamers to equip icons from non-TreyarchCall of Dutygames. With emblems available fromtheModern Warfareseries,WW2, and even futuristic games likeAdvanced Warfare, it would make sense if these Treyarch-made emblems were available. With all the icons forBlack Ops 3andBlack Ops 4selectable, it is odd thatBlack Ops 2is being left out.
Hopefully,futureCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarSeasonssee Zombies fans getting their wish regarding these emblems. Even if they lack the blue eyes and the scratch marks on their sides, the inclusion of these emblems would clearly satisfy a fair number of players.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
