humor me tho, but i dont see what is the point of a smock? its just a jacket for colder weather, no?

Yes, I agree that it is most likely a location thing, but there have been times multicam has either stood out a lot or blended in to the point of "holy shit!".
I recall one game moving towards an objective slowly through the brush with a couple of those fucking Warmongers and a handful of the Dogs of War dudes (ok, Bruce of Bad Karma was there too), Quantis was ahead of me by about 30ft, we're looking for guys defending (basically being little pain in the ass snipers), and I scanned ahead of me about 150ft away from 11 O'clock to 2 O'clock, then went back the other way and saw movement 30ft ahead of me. My previous pass Quantis was standing still and my eyes didn't notice him, but when I saw him he had started to move to the right a bit. Freaked. Me. Out!
Here are some intersting pics of multicam in use, where it seems to work well. These are from a couple games last year at the Foxden (first some fall pics, then some summer pics).
Here's that poof (

Hazard in cadpat and myself in MC:
I love annoying people with this one, me in MC:
And with this one:
And the answer to the riddle:
So ya, for the area here, MC can either make a guy disappear (until he moves at times), or stand out as much as tan clothing from the GAP. But the really good players learn their fieldcraft and look for the best place to move to when 'stalking' through the woods.
Oh ya, purpose of a smock is for colder weather, wear a raincoat under it when playing in the rain, and it gives you a shitload more places to carry stuff if your normal loadout is lacking. At one point for a game (actually a couple of the pics above) I just ran with my MP5 and used my smock to carry my extra mags, and used the pockets as dump pouches. Worked ok, but damn was I quiet.
And for Jayhad, check out the $95 MC smock huang is selling, it is said to be waterproof. And is a VERY close copy of the DZ Recce Smock.
