Digital Camouflage

From the Call of Duty Wiki

A G36C in Digital camouflage pattern in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Digital camouflage is the pattern of camouflage used by the U.S. Army and Marines under the name "UCP", used in the U.S. Army's Army Combat Uniform (ACU) and "MARPAT", used in the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) . Digital is a common camouflage pattern with different color combinations, but the one in game specifically is UCP. It also uses a certain pattern to break up the outline of the person or item camouflaged so as to make it more difficult for the human eye to detect.

The United States Army's UCP Digital camouflage has replaced tri-color desert and M85 woodland and is now the only camouflage officially worn by the United States Army, although Special Forces soldiers often customize their gear to the point where they look no different than civilians or their enemy. The Marine Corps have their own system of digital camouflage for every environment. Digital camouflage is proven to be more effective then woodland camo.

[edit] In Game

In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Digital camouflage is available after achieving 25 headshots with a specific weapon. Weapon camouflages alter gameplay very little, and can only be used during online multiplayer. The camouflage is transparent and can help break up the outline of weapons from long range. For example, using the digital camouflage on an M40A3 makes it less noticable by breaking up its large, solid-green body.
