How many times can you prestige in Call of Duty Black Ops?

Well there are a total of ten prestige's in COD. The final prestige and lvl 70 is the prestige and lvl cap. Many consider this to be the mark of a pro. Keep in mind that many players do not care for the prestige system and can kill you just as effectively or even better in some cases from a 1st prestige. A good way to look past the titles and prestige lvl is to look at the k/d ratio. That means kill/to death ratio. If their kills are greatly higher than their deaths I would be wary.
