It's not "wrong". Look up ACU and you'll see that it's 1 type of camo used by the US Army for any terrain/environment. Other branches of the military like the Marines use different camo in different environments.

Its wrong because the original game used the snow camo originally. So it is wrong.

The army adapted ACU and AAO 2.8.5 adapted it. So the devs fixed it in 2.5. It's not wrong. It's just the Army way soldier.

When you die it reverts to the correct skin

Your OWN skin is not changed cause of some sound issue.

I never saw ACU on Bridge Crossing, not even in 2.8.5.
It always was snow camouflage.

The ACU is used in all environments except for areas with snow, as the ACU works poorly against white. An all-white BDU and the ECWCS are used instead.

This was discussed when the vote for the ACU was made.

My post was a reply to Spanky who said:

Which is not true.

Reading he's statement it's clear that he means IRL.
But if that's true, I don't know.

Rob, Please as a good professional you can write up some code for us to add and make the ACU camo added correctly :D

I did not play 2.8.5 much, I assumed it was used everywhere as that's what happens in real life. You referenced the wrong article, that's the old camo that the game shipped with. Here's what you should read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Combat_Uniform

Quote
The U.S. Army uses the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), which blends tan, gray and green (Desert Sand 500, Urban Gray 501 and Foliage Green 502) to work equally in desert, woodland, and urban environments.[4] Similar to the United States Marine Corps MARPAT and Canadian CADPAT camouflage scheme on which it was based. This design, however, is not as effective as patterns with color schemes specific to a single environment and may have been implemented due to budgetary constraints.[5]

We could have gone with MARPAT but then it wouldn't be America's Army now would it :)

They DON'T use it in snow environment's!
(For good reason)

The Wikipedia article doesn't comment on snow, instead it comments that it's the only ARMY camo as of current. Thus if it's the only ARMY camo, wouldn't they use it in snow too? I haven't been in a branch of military and from the sounds of it, neither have you so does anyone have any hard evidence on this?

by the reason of nostalgia it should be changed back for snow maps like mp, bridge, pipe etc.
