Not quite, Flectarn, Flora, and Tiger Stripe are all very effective and stylish in the Pac NW.
This. 100 times this. People often ignore older or more 'obscure' patterns, but many of the old analog woodland-area patterns are amazingly effective in the Northwest. Add to that the fact that these older patterns are still widely available and often far cheaper than the newer patterns and it's easier to get a whole team kitted out in it.

Our team has been wearing Tigerstripe for nearly 5 years now, and we wore M81 woodland before that. I'm just getting to the point where I want something more in regard to uniform design, and that can be easily amended by RAID modding my blouse and sending the next set of pants I order to Unconventional for sexification.

I think older patterns updated with new styles of pockets and other utility enhancements are sharper-looking than newer patterns with similar features. The first time I saw RAID modded US Woodland I nearly shat bricks.

Go with whatever you like. Airsoft is a fashion show. Realistically at the ranges airsoft is at your pattern matters less than how you personally act. I've gotten congratulated for ambushing people while being sneaky while wearing Belgian camouflage, which if you're unfamiliar with it looks like this:

Basically, go with what you like. If he doesn't like MultiCam, find something both of you like.

DPM and Woodland work pretty damn well out here I've found. You don't have to have some SPECOPS1337TACTIBUTT pattern in order to blend in, in fact, some of the older, cheaper patterns seriously work much better.

It is indeed more about how you move and how you hide yourself. At airsoft range, camo only does so much. I've seen teams in solid blue and OD absolutely faceroll opponents in multicam, ACU's, MARPAT, and other fancier camo patterns.

PLA/CAG in fancy blue and OD? Hell yeah that's sexy. By the way, OD was the origional "multi-cam". As far as the obscure ones go, be sure to look at them, there are tons of different camoflauge patterns out there, most are fairly cheap as well (if abit harder to find). Go with what works for your team, and if someone won't conform, make a secondary uniform they can wear (Multicum as primary and UCP and secondary).

Regardless of camo type you need to stress to your team mate that to be a team and to guarantee that you guys will all be on the same side when the game starts you need to have the same camo.

Wearing flecktarn in the PAC NW during the fall/winter should be considered cheating.

It's too good.
