I've spent a lot of time testing patterns, and every time I determine micro patterns work great at very close range, but don't work as well at distances. Oddly, woodland with its huge pattern almost always comes out on top.

MARPAT is a micro pattern that looks neat, but isn't very functional at over 10 yards.
