Description

The Combat fatigues and the Spec Op are the same exact uniform and need to be changed. Maybe change the color of the Spec Ops uniform to a dark color with a new pattern or something.

What is the point of having 2 uniforms that are the same exact thing, you might as well only have 1.

All they need to do is change it visually.

Specops generally use the same uniform as the regular infantry force. Why change what isn't broken?

Here are NZSAS in afghanistan, wearing bog standard Multicam: http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3251768.jpg

Navy seals wearing bog standard desert BDU:

Though in your defense, the BLUFOR recon squads at least TRY to look unique. The OPFOR recon have identical loadout to to general infantry except they have a silencer and a helmet that doesn't fit the rest of the uniform.

Yeah and if they want to look the same they can wear the combat fatigues.

All I am suggesting is that if a spec op team wants to look different than regular infantry (from the point of their fatigues) their should be more of a variety, (without having to use mods)

But they don't want to look different than regular infantry. They want to do their job. What helps them do their job? A camo to suit the environment that they're in. Who already uses such a camo? The general infantry.

Agreed, but frankly the visual difference from the Opfor in the game and friendly is incredibly small- I would be hugely concerned in a real world situation that there was some measure taken to better ID forces - and Special Forces frankly should at least be hauling different gear if not wearing different camo. They get the latitude to do that because they aren't held on a tight leash like other regular line troop folks and frankly, they should know quite well what it takes to do their job, therefore they pick their own loadout

All in for more gear variety for different... "classes".

But a different cammo pattern? No, it simply makes no sense.
