As you said, coherence of setting.. I call it context.
It's not like we are going from call of duty'esque full camo to leopard spots.

Unless you think Barney fits in seamlessly with BSG, it backed up the point I was trying to make just fine.

Don't get me wrong, I don't give a damn about zebra stripes either way.. I just think this thread is a load of hot air about nothing, with many people chiming in with points that have no merit.

No, I honestly think that silly camo is bad for my personal experience of the game. Having watched the E3 streams over the past few days, the one thing I kept noticing was how completely out of place the camouflage patterns looked, the novelty ones most of all. Each time it popped up, I cringed, but that's just me.
Now if everyone else loves it, then that's fine, but if other people agree it looks bad, I don't see the point of staying quiet just because "oh well, they need to make money", or because it's relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things. We can't speak for a lot of things mechanically until we get to play it, but aesthetics are something we can judge 100% in the position we're in now. Why not give feedback on even the more trivial of things?
And no, I am not someone who opposes things just because they're outside the bounds of what I was used to in Planetside.
