Hand of Nod (opinion!)
Hi all! Just wanted to dump an opinion here about basic (Barracks/Hand of Nod) infantry. Please note that I do like this game; I will play it any day and I am not somehow DEMANDING these changes fro...

interesting idea on the stealth soldier, but every infantry unit in the game (including snipers) are stealth detectors. Only exception is a scarab, but are you really going to test a scarab with your stealth unit? =p
That's true - a stealth infantry would have to be anti-vehicle to make any sense in game... so I guess scrub that, I'll stick to my Mutant Hijacker request.
Can I just get Natasha Volkova in the game? How'd GDI get the snipers and Nod didn't? I'm so confused.
Snipers for GDI goes back to Tiberium Wars, where GDI was given Snipers as an advanced infantry. They're a reasonable addition to GDI flavor - much more expensive/higher tech level than Flames, slower at killing infantry, but of course long range. It makes some sense.
That said if there had been a thematic redesign of the factions from the top, snipers would fit much better with Nod's modus operandi, alongside flames. Generally speaking, as a whole, I always felt that Nod was/should have been mildly themed/balanced towards dealing with infantry, whereas GDI was/should have been mildly balanced against vehicles.
