* In [[Halo: Reach]], [[Rainbow Six|Rainbow Six: Vegas]], and every other multiplayer FPS with a character creator, most players are normally dressed in gaudy and brightly-colored fatigues and armor.
** Though ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Call of Duty Black Ops]]'' prevents you from meddling with the actual ''uniform'', there's nothing to stop you from slapping [[Rule of Cool|orange-and-black tiger stripes]] on your gun, putting a bright pink emblem on it, and then wearing blue face paint.
* In ''[[Blacklight Retribution|Blacklight: Retribution]]'' nearly every single soldier wears the same dull grey fatigues, which normally would be great for camouflage in an urban environment...if it wasn't for the bright neon lights all over your body including hands, torso and a particularly helpful pair on the standard helmet indicating the best spot for a headshot.
* In ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', every class's uniform is brightly-colored around the torso, to draw attention to the weapon they're wielding and to make aiming at them easier.

** [[Justified Trope|Ironically, since the point is for most of them to die ANYWAY...]]
** The Executioner's outfits aren't much better, since they're still brightly colored (with the possible exception of Team Equuleus)!
** The other main fighting force we've seen (the Star Org) has slightly drabber blue/teal outfits, although those berets of theirs make rather nice targets....
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' has different standards - while soldiers who act as guards or ride vehicles don't worry about how much bling they carry, in the field, patterns vary and tend toward dark tones. And then there are [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111007 those snappy dressers from Mactovia].
