I found it really difficult to beat this unit spam. They’ll kill tanks pretty effortlessly and don’t seem to take damage when I shoot them. Lost 10 scorpions that way.
You can use the elite rangers they destroy infantry

Are they snipers?

Have you not tried them out? Elite rangers are indeed snipers.

The work more like Jackals from HW1 than snipers from UNSC. But they do the trick in large(ish) numbers

No I tried using tanks and they die. Because the game lies to you about rock, paper, scissors gameplay which really should apply to the generic infantry unit.
chopper built from base from the very beginning. ram ftw. unsc has no answer until tech 2
My unit spam of marines is really undefeated. LOL. They are OP as crap.
I haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll have to do more testing but i also get the 3 upgrades in the barracks which I’m pretty sure apply to them. I also get both unit powers which makes them gain Veteran ranks faster. lol. Oh not to mention the fact all three armory upgrades on unit training, and the fact you can build them from mini bases, big bases, medium bases, etc.
But i do build air units and Artillery units as well, about 20-30% and than the rest are fully upgraded marines and some snipers.
Atriox, chopper spam. The unsc is powerless until later AFTER they get tech 2. They either have to give up map control and build railgun turrets, or face the risk of being base rushed by 15x choppers before you even get tech 2. Ive veen doing this strat the 2nd day of the beta after messing around seeing what unit works in domination. Choppers literally enable you to control the game for the first 10 minutes and even take on 2 players . On deathmatch, you can literally build a base on the enemy side early and they cant do anything cause of the chopers.
Unsc snipers own early game against another unsc. Covenant choppers own unsc until they build up a sizeable force after tech 2, by then the covenant and his ally will have his army since the enemy is slowed down. The only thing to counter this is another chopper spam.

Only make elite rangers vs covenant. Unsc infantry > Covie infantry. Snipers > Elite rangers, and he’ll have snipers out long before you get tech 2, so your already at a disadvantage building infantry against unsc. Have fun with your rangers and hunters being stunned and one shotted across the map. Oh. Stachion rounds and level 3 infantry snipers would like a word with you.
You didnt tell us your main faction so i"ll just say what each faction can do.
Unsc
If your getting marine spammed and cant fight it, you deserve to lose. All you have to do is make and garrison snipers, and building some marines. 9 marines and 9 snipers > 20 marines. Just make sure you keep upgrading your infantry level. Hellbringers are awful compared to snipers, dont make them. Also, kodiacs are a good option if the enemy is turtling with infantry. If you can keep them behind your forces and bombard during every encounter, thats good. Just remember they cant kill snipers as reliable as your own.
Covenant
Late game, theirs nothing you can do. As covenant has always been, they have to crush the enemy or slow them down , as then make an army to crush them while you hold the advantage.
Their a faction that relies on fighting while having the advantage, and they create such opportunities. Their not meant to fignt on equal terms. Rememner each covie counter part on average is weaker (Ex. Snipers > rangers, warthogs > choppers ).
You"ll have to spam choppers to beat marines. Attack and kill the unsc base before they get tech 2 and build up. Wraiths > marines. Combat tech marines, cyclops and snipers > Wraiths and elite rangers. Really, the only thing atriox can do late game is to be anti vehicle, or go all air. Atriox is beaten by marines, snipers and cyclops, all built from 1 building.
