My first Platinum match wasn't a PUG, it was with 2 friends (and 1 PUG) so it was pretty easy. I knew what to expect going in so I wasn't really caught off guard. I was just glad my console didn't freeze.
Yeah, Collectors being your first introduction to Platinum on the PS3 was about the roughest way to start! LOL
My very first Platinum match was 8 months ago with friends. Back before they patched FBW to be different and back when Banshees reliably got stuck on the counters table-dancing, so we were all doing the FBW/G/G routine back behind the counters screaming in horror at Banshees swiping at us from inches away.
Actually... oh, hey, look, I posted about it . Although I am cringing at my 8-month-ago self thinking Cryo Ammo was the way to go on Plat. And that I still had a scope on my Mattock instead of extended barrel. And that my Stronghold Package was still level 2. And that I could only manage 75,000 points.... oh, to be young again! LOL

I posted about my first extraction, too!
It got locked, though... <_<

went really smoothly, I sometimes ran into corners but overall we killed things, delivered pizza, and extracted... I don't know how I did it but I placed first.. good times.

My first gold was on dagger, too. I was a level 1 geth engineer, I got dropped in there by accident. Didn't realise it was gold for a couple of waves, messaged an apology to the host when the match was finished, something along the lines of "I'm so sorry, I thought it was Silver!" Response came back - "Don't worry, you did good

For the entire duration of that first, second, third, tenth...match, my only thoughts were "holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

We made it to wave 10 where we had disable/enable devices. I got picked up by a Banshee, and 2 other guys went down. There was only one guy left and one device left. Last person left had no more gels. We didn't make it. We were so close. Can't believe we made it that far with such an odd mix of characters.

"Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming."
Prophetic...

My first actual platinum match was on my turian ghost and it went fairly well after I got over my nervousness of it all.

My second one was am U/U, ended up with Ghost/Reapers. Was alright, decided I wasn't really a fan of the boss spam and bullet sponge nature of the mode, didn't play it again until Lodestar.

I remember huddling behind the counters in the basement with my Salarian engineer, desperately throwing up decoys and trying to generate enough damage with my suddenly puny looking Carnifex (this was before I unlocked the talon or hurricane). Somehow we had got extraction, but it was enough of a drag to keep me away from plat until Lodestar.
This experience lead me to juggy the first 3 rounds of Lodestar plat, which was better but still kind of a drag, before I came to my senses and used my go-to gold class, the huntress. Had more fun, and did MUCH better, and we extracted much faster as well, this last one against the collectors.
