♛ ABOUT GOLD™ platoon BF3 ♛

GOLD™ platoon was founded on May 30th, 2012 (around 7 months after the release of Battlefield 3).

The platoon is INVITE ONLY (you cannot apply) and strictly for exceptional players who have reached the highest rank in BF3: Colonel Service Star 100 (Golden Eagle).

Members of GOLD™ platoon include World #1 Assault, World #1 Engineer, World #1 Recon, World #1 Support, former World #1 Knifer, World #1 MBT driver, C4 RPG/SMAW and AT mine specialists, knife experts and more. GOLD™ platoon was the first and only BF3 platoon to have all four World #1 players from each class as a member.

♛ THE NAME GOLD ♛

Besides the obvious golden eagle reference it's also because we always go for gold (we want to win), our hearts are made of gold (we play by the rules, cheaters¹ will be kicked), because not all that glitters is gold (some wins are better than others), because we're good as gold (we are? ha!), and lastly because gold is bright, yellow, hard and cold (just like our bullets).

♛ JOINING GOLD ♛

Not asking to join is one, standing out from the rest on the battlefield is another, having an extraordinary skill is a third. However the intention is to keep GOLD™ platoon exclusive and relatively small so don't be disappointed if you're not invited because a GOLD membership invitation is rare and much sought after! If you are a friend or fan you can still play with us, join our squad and maybe get invited to our TeamSpeak.

December 3, 2012: additional requirements effective immediately for all NEW GOLD members:
1. next to the golden Colonel 100 dog tag new members need to have a golden Service Star 100 dog tag for one of the four classes or vehicles (Assault, Engineer, Recon, Support, MBT, Heli, Jet, AA, Tank Destroyer, etc.)
2. and need to be on TeamSpeak sometimes where we communicate with each other in English.

The requirements needed to be updated to better reflect a player's dedication to the game and the type of player we are looking for in GOLD™ platoon because just being a Colonel 100 is nothing special anymore.

¹ : WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHEATERS, GLITCHERS, HACKERS & MACRO USERS!

BEWARE OF IMITATORS: when in doubt, always check our memberlist ( http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391639708645/listmembers/ ) to see if you are dealing with a real legit GOLD™ platoon member or just a lame copycat wannabe ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ from some unknown scrub platoon.
