I like Danish M84.... :|

I find that in the bush it's not usually someone's camouflage that gives them away, it's their shadow and movement. Fieldcraft is just as important, if not more so, than the clothing you're wearing. Obviously if you put on a black ninja suit in the middle of the desert it won't matter how still you lay, but to remain concealed takes more than just a fancy pattern. You could be using the Predator suit and if you're moving rapidly I guarantee it will still show distortion visible to the naked eye.

I also agree that camouflage is very region-specific, and not even Multicam works in a very large range of environments. In central Manitoba during the summer, CADPAT, M84, and other bright green patterns work the most effectively because they match the rich foliage. During spring and autumn, we found that Asian Tigerstripe works fantastically due to the more muted hues that go with the leafless and dead vegetation. In winter the trees don't turn white, so unless you're in an empty field Tigerstripe still works great. I find winter whites don't do much good at all unless you're completely still and laying down. As soon as you stand up or crouch, all I need to look for is the big blob of white against the dark brown and black of the tree trunks and unleash a torrent of BBs in that direction.
