state your reasons here.

basic Camos are just 12 games worth of c-bills
100,000 per match

Because they cost real money for something that you aren't going to see in-game.

Idk most mechs end up that paint peeled silver color when I see them. Who cares what scheme the pilot went with.

Though to be fair all my mechs are grey, red, blue or black, for some reason.

If i would be able to select camo just before drop (when mech is already selected and map already known) , i would buy camos for each map/environment type for most my mechs.

If your mech is too colorful, you become an easier target. I usually run my mechs in tan/white/black for that reason.

I bet a lot of people don't realize that you can purchase some colors with just c-bills.

and then the same thing about not caring.

because switching to color gives me a noticeable increase in visibility to enemies.

Default camouflage is actually pretty damn good on every map except for snow.

And you have to pay for it... they might not know they can get the PC gamer colors for free.

There's no reason to make your mech yellow purple and white. The more you stand out the more you're likely to be targeted first.

I paint them because I can. IDC if I'm the sacrifice if it's called for as long as other dudes can actually capitalize on it. Just don't let me die in vain.

Because buying even two colors is equal to buying a new commando, for some players it is too much, or they don't know they can later repaint in those colors all their mechs for free(result of camo spec phase 1, I think), and I still can't understand, why some colors cost 500 MC and others - 1000 MC :blink:
P.S. My mechs are purple and I want a pony-like camo pattern :P
