Fall Camouflage
Fall Camouflage is a weapon camouflage in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and a reward for achieving 250 headshots and completing the "Expert VI" challenges for a specific weapon in the multiplayer mode. It is, therefore, the hardest camouflage to obtain. It consists of black, orange, brown, yellow, and sometimes purple (which is only visible on the SCAR-H and the M14 EBR) combined to create a pattern similar to foliage during the autumn season; the pattern is reminiscent of civilian orange hunting camouflage. Many people take this as Modern Warfare 2's edition of Golden Camouflage from Call of Duty 4. This camouflage is only available on weapons in multiplayer mode and during the single-player mission "Loose Ends" where it is worn by the soldiers defending Vladimir Makarov's safehouse. Also, titles and emblems can be unlocked by earning Fall camouflage. Upon reaching level 70, a title is obtained that says Commander with the same fall background that is found on the camouflage.
Appearance
While Fall Camouflage, similar to the Golden Camouflage, is not very useful in terms of actual camouflage, with the exception of a few maps, such as Estate. It is mainly used as a sign of skill or expertise online but it is sometimes gained by boosting for headshots in cage matches, which has now been removed from Xbox 360, PS3 and PC playlists. Some players use the Fall camouflage because of its yellow and orange coloring, allowing it to provide some camouflage in desert-like environments and on the Estate map. Others prefer the traditional red/blue tiger camouflage.
Tips
- For most people, it is much easier to get fall camouflage on a semi-automatic or 3-round burst weapon. This is helpful if the player has no preference as to which weapon it is unlocked for.
- Some players may prefer getting fall on the SMGs or high recoil weapons, as aiming at the upper torso and firing full auto will usually result in a headshot.
- For headshots on sniper rifles, it is quite effective to "dragscope". Similar to quickscoping, dragscoping involves aiming at a players torso, before quickly dragging the scope up towards their head. When mastered, this method can easily reward up to 10 headshots a game.
- Maps such as Skidrow with dominant sight lines can be fairly easy to get headshots on, providing the player is using a thermal scope attached to a sniper rifle such as the Barrett .50cal or Invervention, or a light machine gun such as the RPD.
- As with all camouflages using an ACOG or a Thermal scope can make it easier to obtain the Fall Camouflage due to magnifying the head of the enemy.
Trivia
- Foreign language editions of Modern Warfare 2 have multiple mistranslations, including the following:
- In the German version it is also titled as "Fall", which errorenously happens to be the German verb of "to fall", but in this case, it retains its English meaning (such as many anglifications in the German language)
- In the French version of Modern Warfare 2, its name is mistranslated as "Printemps" which means "spring".
- Fall camouflage was often boosted for in 3rd person Cage Match due to the large amount of headshots required. However, this is no longer possible due to the removal of 3rd person Cage Match playlist from all platforms.
- Fall camouflage is generally useful on maps such as Wasteland, Rundown, Estate, Favela, Trailer Park and Carnival;where many fall-like colors appear
- On the SCAR-H and on the M14 EBR the camouflage has a unique effect: it adds purple to the camouflage. This is best visible under the iron sights of the SCAR-H.
- The Vector has its own unique fall camouflage, which is darker than the usual camouflage and is also adds blur-like effect between the colors.
