New/Updated Loadout (Opinions Wanted)
« on: November 01, 2013, 10:56:08 PM »
Hey guys,

Well, I've decided it's time to think about new gear/camo being mine are older than dirt, so I've fairly well come down to two choices on my own, Multicam, or Kryptec Mandrake,(or if you have a better option put it out there) but since I love hearing peoples opinions on anything on everything and how debates like these help out others with similar questions.  Which one should I choose for my new loadout, price is not really a factor as of right now but just trying to get opinions of my fellow plastic shooters.

Thanks guys,
Ghost

     Multicam is much easier to find gear to go with (i.e. vests, pouches, etc…). The only Kryptek vests/chest rigs I have seen are few and far between and do not offer the plethora of options like you would find with Multicam. And pouches are a whole other story, I have yet to see any. A good compromise if you want Kryptek for the look or if you just want something other than the norm is to get a solid color vest/chest rig that can be worn with either pattern (i.e. tan or OD). Personally, I own both patterns and am in the process of putting together a single chest rig in tan that can be used with either,  this way I can be on either Tan team or Green team at any game I go to.
     Both patterns I think have proven themselves as functional in multiple environments, but I do have one concern. Like other camo patterns that are only green/tan BASED, team identification is made more difficult (Maybe ACU has a purpose after all? lol) because the color schemes look so similar at a distance. If you are willing to take on the risk of getting team-killed once in a while and if you're willing to shell out the cash, either pattern will do you just fine. If you want a more in-depth comparison, then look up spartan117gw on youtube. He's a Kryptek fan, but also runs MC and has a few videos about the two and I think he might have a video comparing Mandrake and Highlander to other patterns.
