lol sollys are awsome when at skilled hands!
I have a hard time killing claws even if I get the jump on him!
(he also does a quite good job of ranging me as sniper)
Soldiers are awsome at killing sentries at range.. 2 of them firing 2 rockets each (takes about 2 seconds) will kill a lvl3 and the engie cant fix it quick enough to keep it alive! (incidentally, we dont use this nearly enough)
Theyr also good at CQC with the launcher as 2 rockets will destroy most classes.
They do need better weaponary though. The shotgun to me is a weak attempt at a secondary weapon by valve!
They obviously just thought "well the pyro has one, the engie has one, the scout has something similar, sod it the solly can have one too"
The Rocket Launcher just needs to be fixed!
I'd like to see some sort of charge effect (something like the secondary fire in UT3 maybe?) where you can do more damage with 1 shot at the cost of a setup time (setup time should have a max/min but you can release anywhere between that)
How about some sort of low powered SMG similar to say, a MAC10?
Or a single shot rifle?
that to me screams soldier more than a shotgun (which just screams hick to me)
Soldier used to be my most played class by a MILE but since these updates he has been neglected a LOT!
As soon as he gets the buff he needs Ill be playing with him again!
(Just cuz I love the UT3 Launcher
