GDI Infantry Units

This section covers some of the infantry units available to the Global Defense Initiative.
The infantry of GDI come from all around the world, united in helping the goal of crushing the rebellious Brotherhood of Nod and helping to cure the earth of the Tiberium infestation.
All units listed here are subject to change.

Trooper
Price:130
Weapon:GK-12 Assault Rifle
Speed:5
Armour:None, 110
Description: This is the standard infantry of GDI. Armed with a basic assault rifle. The assault rifle fires in short bursts, causing damage to both infantry and light units, as well as causing infantry to duck for cover.
Anti-Armour Infantry
Price:350
Weapon:Shrapnel Grenade, Seeker Missile
Speed:3
Armour:None, 190
Description: With Nod's expansion of its airforce and deployment of numerous helicopter squadrons, it was soon realised that GDI needed an anti-aircraft infantry. The GDI Disk Thrower therefore was replaced by this unit. Instead of using bionic arm to throw grenades a launcher is used. This allows for two kinds of projectiles; a missile and a grenade. The missile is heat-seeking and armour piercing, making it an excellent weapon against aircraft. It is also good against armoured units. The grenade weapon has a high explosive but has reduced range and no tracking ability, similar to disks in that the grenades bounce for a short while before exploding. The grenades launch shrapnel which are excellent at cutting through unarmoured targets, making a great weapon against groups of infantry. It has a very slow rate of fire.
Jumpjet Infantry
Price:600
Weapon:Heavy Duty Chain Gun
Speed:5
Armour:None, 140
Description: Jumpjet Infantry have more than proved their worth for GDI over the years. They are ideal for scouting, as well haressing units. In groups they are effective against most targets. No major changes have developed since their last use.
Medic
Price:600
Weapon:Medical Kit
Speed:4
Armour:None, 120
Description: The medic has proved invaluable in the previous Tiberium War. It has not had any changes, as none were needed. These units can really turn the tide of battle, and when in a group, can sustain themselves even in severe firefights.
Engineer
Price:500

Speed:4
Armour:None, 100
