Watch how you Prestige in Call of Duty: WW2's new Headquarters area

Call of Duty: WW2 has arrived, and brings with it a whole new way to Prestige. We've got a video showing it all happen, if you want to see it for yourself. 

The ultimate result is the same: you reset all your gear and get a badge to show you've done it, but now in the new Headquarters social area everyone gets to witness it. 

You'll see the General standing on a small hill staring out to sea, but you can only reach him when you've hit rank 55 and have a Prestige token to give him. When that happens you can wander up, say hello and trigger the whole - more or less literal - fanfare. There are planes trailing smoke, flags, and everyone gets to watch. Go you!
