I asked a similar question on the EAR forums and got multicam. browns/tans mixed with a little green works I guess

It really comes down to where you play. Flag raiders doesn't have a lot of trees just open field anything tan or tan and brown will work well but if you play at the TWAT field half the field is dense trees and underbrush where browns and greens are preferred its really more opinion and personal choice and skill

Marpat and ACU are different camo's.

Marpat has two versions,

"woodland" which is the dark brown/green/black version. GREAT in fall, works really good. Attached is a picture of me playing paintball in fall with MARPAT woodland.

"desert" which looks identical to the tan stuff the Canadian's use in Afghanistan. It is GREAT in dust/dirt/desert/gravel roads but so-so in other situations.

"ACU" is the grey/tan stuff that the US Army uses. It is good in sandy areas, rocky areas, and (IMHO) in poplar trees. Attached is a picture of ACU in fall.

My vote is woodland Marpat.

Cheers

Well...there is the field...

Otherwise yes, I wouldn't mind a raise, it might allow me to accumulate some more civvies so I don't walk around in my robe during the weekends

I like woodland marpat, works well in pine tree areas which we have a lot of here, or you could go old school and get the WW2 german reversible smock camo!!

Well there's always flecktarn if you want the spotty look. Nice with the sun shining through the trees and leaves on the ground.
