What is 'Founder' Status?

Are you a Founder? You can still get it through the Hardened Edition.

Been wondering how other players are getting those green skull Elite titles in Modern Warefare 3? You need 'Founder' status, and unfortunately, it is not something you can just sign up for now.  If you signed up for COD Elite prior to Nov 30 2011 you would also receive a free bonus, 'Founder' status, which includes bonus content, clan XP and other goodies.  If you have not yet picked up a copy of Modern Warefare 3 or simply want to be a 'Founder', there is some good news for you.  You can still get 'Founder' status by purchasing the Hardened Edition, which comes with the appropriate code to receive your status.

Here is what is included with 'Founder' status;

• Exclusive title in Modern Warefare 3: a green skull Elite
• Exclusive emblem in Modern Warefare 3: a silver skull
• 500 clan XP: join a clan and give them a boost to level up the clan faster
• Exclusive weapon camo in Modern Warefare 3: Winter for all guns
• Private discussion group in Elite Connect
• Green skull icon and background for your COD Elite profile page
• Exclusive competitions & prizes that only Founders can enter
