Ps3 – Call of Duty MW3 Prestige token lost

Essentially you lose everything. It's like starting over again from level 1.

This time around you can pay Prestige Tokens to get early unlocks, (ie, the AK-47 or Steady Aim at level 1) but the weapon/perk/gear's status is reset and you will have to level it as you normally would on each Prestige. For instance, if you had gold camo on a gun and all the attachments, even if you use a prestige token to "Unlock Gear," you'll lose the attachments/camo and you'll have to level the weapon again.

The only thing that is saved from one prestige to the next is any Titles and Emblems you've received from doing challenges. The challenges themselves reset, however. If you're really close to the end of a challenge that unlocks a title or emblem, it might make sense to finish it before using your Prestige.

You also get to keep the quantity of custom classes, although your custom classes reset to the defaults when you Prestige. You'll also not have access to custom classes until you reach the level where they unlock on the first pass.

You receive one prestige token per time you rank up to level 80 (not 50) and then prestige.

You can also get prestige tokens for other Call of Duty games that you've prestiged in, with one token per game being awarded to you.
