In 2001 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime that should have been legal. These men (and women) promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the digital underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have the skills, the right sense of humor, and the mental fortitude to survive the uniquely outrageous recruitment process, maybe you can enlist with The 420th Infantry Division.
The 420th Infantry Division is a 21+ online gaming clan and community focused on team play, camaraderie, respect, and hilarious antics. Members come from all walks of life, including full-time professionals, parents, military veterans, foreign dignitaries, and both casual and competitive PC gaming enthusiasts.
The 420th Infantry Division is organizationally comprised of a main core division [=420th=] and various operational sub-divisions for game-specific clans/guilds including [CDXX], [BUD], [420F], and [WGE].
Originally formed in 2001 as a tactical FPS squad in the very first Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon (PC), The 420th Infantry Division began full competitive operations upon the release of Battlefield 1942 by EA/DICE. With the Battlefield franchise, the clan evolved into a dedicated unit and competitively participated in the CAL and PL leagues.
Since then, The 420th Infantry Division has branched out into numerous sub-divisions operating in various other games, communities, and play styles.
Today, The 420th Infantry Division remains a close-knit organization of like-minded gamers from all walks of life and gaming genres with a core focus on camaraderie, casual play, respect and mature humor.
