Sgt.Crocodile Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Sorry about my ignorance , but what is a MARPAT camo? What is the difference betwen this one and others? What is the difference between a Jungle and a Forest Camo, as i saw in a few mods description? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlakeness (HotPants) Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 MARPAT is the new digital pattern camo that Is slowely being phased into the Marine Corp. Its similar to the Canadians CADPAT. Supposedly it went through some pretty rugged testing over at the Marine scout/sniper school and is supposed to be pretty effective. As for the differences..I cant remember off hand if they have a seperate tropical and forest colors, but I have heard a couple of times that the ones seen on the Marines in IT arent quite right....not positive though.

ragodamdiculus Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 (edited) they have 3, woodland, desert, and urban its all the same pattern it just uses different colors for different climates. EDIT it works by not really blending in but distorting you out line, so its hard for the eye to spot.

Sgt.Crocodile Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Do you guys have any pics of the MARPAT or the CADPAT? I cant send screenies 'cos i dont have a homepage Does it look like the skins on the Marine Expeditionary Unit (SOC) pack (by Lloyd Bailey) or like the skins on USMC Uniform pack (by The Godfather)? What do you mean by digital pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moakes2783 Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 here are some pics: and a desert pic: *MARPAT stands for Marine Pattern I don't think they have put the urban in mass production and distribution yet. I have seen several versions of the urban pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Crocodile Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Now i know about the digital stuff. Here is some aditional info: At the beginning of 2002 the USMC commenced phasing in a new combat uniform. These new uniforms are set to replace all currently used uniforms by the year 2006. A feature of these new uniforms is the new camouflage marine Pattern (known as “MARPAT”). This has been extensively tested in the field and proven to be very effective tactical camouflage. It was selected from over 100 offerings with eventually the two top patterns being MARPAT and a new Tiger Stripe (like in Free Lybia 1.4 ?), which was eventually edged out by MARPAT. This new pattern is a customized digital pattern using 4 optimized colors for the Desert, Woodland and Urban patterns. The Urban pattern is still in testing process and is not yet officially adopted. Sorry guys. These are the only pics i've found, but these are the coolest toys i ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mast Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hi Sixpence, I can't wait for this mod. Will you make them with sleeves down or up? I like the sleeves down myself. Once I get this mod, I only have to wait for a mod which includes the M40A3 sniper rifle. Mast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Crocodile Posted February 20, 2003 Author Share Posted February 20, 2003 (edited) Sixpence, Those are nice pics. Cant wait to DL it Will you make the DESERT MARPAT & URBAN MARPAT (Only Skin Mods) as a patch? Or will we have to activate both of then to play it all? This does not concern this topic, but Mast's M40A3 sniper rifle idea is cool, specially a SD one ! Can you include it? SEMPER FI !!!!

Sixpence Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 The URBAN & DESERT will be especially Skin Mods, without Weapons or Reticule or some others. This allows to activate the Mod play with all other Weapon- or Map Mods. Sorry, cant include the Sniper Rifle I havent it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Crocodile Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 Thats Ok. I saw the pics in the link you posted and all the skins wear those tipical Marine caps(is it the correct name?). Do you plan to make skins with helmets or those Spec Ops masks (Like those action figure pics i posted)? I think it would look great........just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixpence Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 URBAN will wear the "Fritz" Kevlar Helmet, all others the Marine Cap. Gasmask is an idea for some specialists.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Slaughter Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Very nice looking skins Sixpence. I'm looking forward to this mod. Will you include a campaign with it as well? I really liked your Army Rangers mod as well keep up the good work man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mast Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I can't wait for this mod too. Marine caps(is it the correct name?) In the Marine Corps they are called "Covers" and the camo uniforms are called "Utilities". Mast Former Jarhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
