Spartan vs Survival vs Ranger

[CIA shot JFK]

So I have played 2033 once before, on Xbox. I only could get through an hour or 2 before I decided it was too hard (and kinda scary, I know I'm a wimp). Because of that, I think I would probably be better picking the Spartan mode. But my question mostly centered around the Ranger mode: Can I use Spartan + Ranger or is that only for Survival? What are the disatvantages of Ranger? Or, should I be playing on Survival instead of Spartan? Please give me any and all feedback, I'm incredibly excited for August 26th and I want to make my playthough good.

They are each different modes, they can not be combined

Spartan is more last light orientated with more ammo and other stuff

Survival is more 2033 orientated with slower reloads, less ammo

Ranger is well ranger

So Ranger doesn't stack at all? For some reason I thought you could stack it and use it with either Spartan or Survival. But if that isn't the case, then does that mean its like Survival but harder with no HUD?

Doesn't the new trailer say that you can stack em?

Look at it like this

Game mode :
i. Survival > game difficulty:
1. Easy
2. Normal
3. Hard
4. Ranger

ii. Spartan > game difficulty:
1. Easy
2. Normal
3. Hard
4. Ranger

Ok yes some1 is right

Upon entering the menu you are given a choice of either spartan or survivor, then you select which one you want

Apologies for the wrong info op

yes, there is a Ranger option for both new modes. I just hope that they will bring back the ranger mode from 2033, because ranger in Last Light is just terrible

Yes this is what I was looking for! Looks like I will probably be going Ranger + Spartan mode, I think it will be perfect for epic screenshots :D

Why was Ranger terrible in LL compared to 2033? Besides the fact that it was DLC and not in the base game

Because in LL ranger they completly removed the inventory, which means you never know how much ammo you have, how much time on filters is left, which type of ammo you have in your mag, and it also doesn't even show QTE buttons in QTE sequences. It's a total mess. Ranger in 2033 was only about rebalancing the weapons and not showing you how much ammo you have in mag. But you still could press the "check clock" button which also showed you how much ammo you have in inventory, filters, etc.

Ah okay I see. That sounds like a big oversight. I'll have to check the reviews when it comes out to see if Ranger is viable.

Last Light's RHC Ammo amount is shown at market kiosks.

Certain homemade weapons allows player to see amount in clip. Once RHC Ammo Hold counts are known-- tracking clip reload helps or counting in you're head.

Metro 2033 RHC has larger Ammo holds compared to L.L RHC.

2033 RHC layout is less intrusive compared to normal modes. L.L RHC zero HUD enhanced immersion.

2033 has many more traps to avoid, while Last Light lacked broken glass, and maze elements offering stealth routes less challenging. 2033 stealth is more complex compared to Last Light's. 2033 offered no reprive when spotted. Hidden in 2033 is very different to hidden in Last Light. L.L AI slower to react when spotted.
