Ten-Hut!
Troops! Today I wanna ask the community something:
Which is better Snipers or Elite Rangers?
(I think Snipers are better, Because I always thought Elite Rangers where loosers at everything, but I’ve been wrong before)
They perform very different roles, but Snipers are ultimately the better unit. Snipers are meant to be split and kept at a range to snipe high priority targets, and Rangers are meant to be balled up and deal with masses of infantry at a medium range.
The elite rangers should get a shield upgrade seriously it’s not even fair the sniper gets 2 upgrades and the elite rangers don’t have any

I’ve always thought that the Elite Rangers needs some kind of upgrade too
I feel like Rangers are the strange love child of a marine squad and a sniper - just without the upgrades. They aren’t really comparable to either, but are similar to both, if that makes sense.
Snipers - only ai, but great at it
Marines - okay at ai, good against air
Ragers - good at ai, okay against air.
thats how I see it!
Would love to see all units have at least one upgrade though, mix things up a bit and create greater depth. Blitz is there for the casuals!

I wish I could play blitz… but it’s a loot box based system.
I have never bought a loot box with real money and never will

Seriously. They’re Elites, they really should have shields. Rangers are the only Elite infantry unit in the game that doesn’t have shields (other than the Elites that lead Grunt squads, but I can understand it being tricky to make it so that only the Elite in the squad has shields).
Also, a little off topic, but I think all units should have at least 1 upgrade, if not 2. Like in the original Halo Wars.

Old Assemble Studios came up with at least 2 upgrades for each unit and sometimes 3.
Hopefully the buff makes a difference because how many rangers does it take to kill a T2 spartan? 10? 15?

*Ensemble Studios. And yeah, the original had many more upgrades. I was surprised when I first played Wars 2 at the lack of them.

Now that I think about it… most units in HW1 had 3 upgrades, where as in HW2 most are lucky to 1 if any.
I really wish there were more upgrades… 
Elite Rangers definitely deserve some sort of upgrade.
Possibilities could include:
- Weapon Upgrade (ex: Focus Rifle or Needler Rifle)
- Shield Upgrade
- Mobility Upgrade (ex: Jet Pack Ability or Sprint!) Sprint could bee cool to see in a Halo Wars game
Ufff, why is everyone crying about the Elite Ranger?
Banished have Elite Ranger AND Suicide Grunts. UNSC have only Snipers.
I think Banished will be OP when they added a Elite Ranger Upgrade.

I guess you forget about Suicide Grunts after a while of not using them.
But they do exist, good point
They could use a skill even a weak one, hell i’d be happy if they threw plasmas just for a little anti-scout help.

I think you forget the flamethrower.

Banished have Jumpbrutes.
I think they should be made Tier 1 instead of 2 as the unsc infantry rush is so strong with snipers which leaves the banished vulnerable unless you spam scouts

The only way to make
them not OP is a debuff + T3 Upgrade they make it better than the actually Unit now.
But Ranger + Suicide is to strong at T1
snipers have more damage, but you can pretty easily kill them with T1 units such as marine grenades, scouts, vehicle heroes and maybe suicides. the damage of rangers are less than snipers, but they have more health and can shoot continuously.
I think both are good as where they are. but in late game, an army with full upgraded snipers can do better against infantry armies since they have 2 special upgrade. but anyway… they are easy to kill with some leader powers.
