Do it. The fun part of the multiplayer is meeting the challenges, earning promotions and getting better gear. Once you stop doing this, you may as well stop playing. Yes, it's hard, but that's the point isn't it? If it were easy, you'd be annoyed, and if you wanted no challenge you'd play the single player on the lowest setting and not even bother taking on the rest of the world. To hard without all your favourite guns with the perks you love the best? Toughen up, get some skills. Go none? Don't prestige. Presitge is prestigeous, if you're gamer enough, you'd do it. The people posting here that say there is no point don't get the point.
