Where the Fall camo comes from
Fall came with Modern Warfare 2 in November 2009. It sat at the top of the camo ladder: 250 headshots with that weapon, after Woodland, Digital, Urban, Blue Tiger and Red Tiger.
Players treated it like Call of Duty 4's Gold. Nobody wore Fall to hide. You wore it to show you'd put in the time.
The look is autumn leaves: orange, brown and black over tan, close to orange civilian hunting camo. A few guns, like the SCAR-H and FAMAS, show purple in it.
Fall on an Intervention is the image a lot of MW2 players remember. MW2's level 70 title, Commander, uses a Fall background.

Painting Fall camo on a real gun
Four cans: Krylon Sand, Gloss Pumpkin Orange, Brown and Black. Lay the sand, then orange and brown blotches, then thin black branches across them at an angle.
Keep the orange as big blotches, not specks. From across a room the orange is what reads as Fall.
We'd look up a screenshot of a Fall Intervention before you start. You'll see how big the orange blotches are.
How to spray Fall on a gun
1. Strip it down
On an AR pull the bolt carrier group and split the upper and lower. On an AK take off the dust cover and bolt carrier. On a Glock take the slide off. Remove the optic or plan to tape it.
2. Degrease everything
Wipe every outside surface with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Paint will not hold over gun oil.
3. Mask what moves
Plug the chamber and muzzle, tape the ejection port, magazine well, trigger and safety, and cover the optic lenses.
4. Base coat in sand
Two light coats over the whole gun, 8 to 12 inches away, 10 minutes apart.
5. Pumpkin orange blotches
Hold cardboard blotch cutouts just off the surface and spray pumpkin orange around their edges for hard edged blotches.
6. Brown blotches
Hold cardboard blotch cutouts just off the surface and spray brown around their edges for hard edged blotches.
7. Black stripes
Tape off or freehand long stripes and spray black.
8. Let it cure
Handle it after an hour but give it a full day before it goes in a case, and a few days before hard use.
