I had a long chuckle looking at some of the outfits players are using in multiplayer matches. Some of them look like a cross between a Halo Spartan and something out of Army of Two. Not to mention the bright yellow, reds and pinks sported by more than a few would-be operatives. It got me to thinking about what everyone within the community models their clothing after and though it might be another good forum topic.

Our friend from the Great North, Clodhopper, obviously sports the colors of his native Canadian Army. Though his mowhawk might look better with a red beret. If I remember correctly, tHA-KhAn’s red training camouflage gave him away during Saturday’s Trainyard mission. So, what inspired your choice of clothing in R6V2?

Personally, I started out with what I thought would be a good interpretation of a Rainbow Six operative, but couldn’t cut the light blue used in the series. I moved to the ACU option, being a veteran of the US Army, but wasn’t too keen on the harsh white color used in the game. Right now, I’m using the BDU shirt and pants in the Desert Camo with the lightweight helmet in the same pattern and ballistic goggles.

I’ve been researching some of the modern uses of camouflage a bit and was surprised to learn black as been deemed unfit in most cases. It seems the color actually stands out while viewed by night vision equipment. My hope is to create something unique and close to realistic as I can get when I unlock the custom camo, though attaining the Elite rank is going to take a lot of time.
