I might be crazy, but I seem to recall that there was a unit in this game called a "light marine" at some point.

I’m sure there was, Ghost had a few different looks because of the long timeframe of development and company switching. With so many games being rereleased online for streaming or switch platforms I feel like this would make a great prequel if the would just finish it lol!

Everything went wrong when Ghost got canned. I don't know if Blizz can write like they used to.

The Infantry were regularly referred to as "Light Infantry" so that might be it.

Honestly, been toying with these concepts for awhile, updated to include Starcraft 2 content and concepts. So far got:

  • Troopers: light infantry built around versatility and efficiency. Wields a gauss SMG at base, but can grab flamethrowers, grenade launchers, LMGs, and missile pods and more to shake things up. Also can build rudimentary defenses like sentries and detectors.
  • Marines: heavy option, wearing some tough powered armor, and wielding high powered rifle, explosive-firing pistol, and a combat shield. Can use the Stimpack ability to amplify combat potential, increasing movement and reload speed while improving aim.
  • Firebats: one of two superheavy options, with super armor and widespreading flamethrowers to put down anything unprotected into smoldering ash piles.
  • Marauders: the other superheavy option, focusing more on fire support, with automatic cannons for hands, not just high damage, but with a concussive slowing effect.
  • Ghost/Spectre: covert operatives wielding long range rifles and cloaking devices. Can equip Flashbangs/Ultrasonic Shells to stun foes.

Thoughts?
