You can wear what you like, I've often seen people fielding uncommon patterns (some of the less common Russian patterns, or even Alpenflage, among others); in that respect a WW2 pattern like Splintertarn, for example, would work fine.
There are a few things to keep in mind however:
Firstly, you'd better feel very secure about your choices, because you
WILL be the odd man out wearing that setup (unless you're playing in a game where one faction is using a lot of mismatched camo).
Most players tend to stick to a general theme, in terms of look: color matching, if you will. So if you start wearing some wildly mismatched patterns, you will stick out like a sore thumb and yes, you will become a funny looks magnet.
So ask yourself what vest/colors you'd use for accessories etc. and how well it'll integrate with whatever camo you chose. (and beyond that, ask yourself how effective the camo you chose is in the environment where you're playing)
Secondly, be aware that some games have specific kit requirements; you'll need one of the specific sets of camo to play. If this is the only gear you're getting you might be painting yourself into a corner if you go with something too unusual. Check out the game section to see the types of setups that are sometimes (often?) required.
In that respect you'd be better off with one of the more common patterns. Safe bets are Multicam (I hate it personally, but it seems just about everyone has some now), US Woodland (oldschool, non digital, easily obtainable and inexpensive, and it works in our environment), and Desert MARPAT (digital, available in both repro and surplus, good for "desert team", can easily be confused with Arid CADPAT if necessary).
