people who cant play soldier should be removed from game ;) noooo, but in all fairness he is wank

Maybe remove medics too. They cant rocket or dubblejump and is always the slowest on middle.

SHAME ON YOU!, MEDICS ARE GREAT AND FAST!!!!!!!!!

If a soldier is attacked by a scout, and can’t find him after half a sec of flailing his mouse, he will look into the ground and fire frantically.

So why arent you complaining about the demoman, he does alot more where that came from. plus he only has a 4 clip size for hsi rockets while the demo has a 4 clip grenade launcher which is a more annoying weapons to fight against and an 8 clipsize Sticky launcher which is even more annoying than the rocket launcher and the Grenade launcher put together.

Additionally its the slowest class

yes he is slow and ive complained about this myself but that should be a good thing for the scouts POV against him. However just because he is the second slowest class in the game doesnt mean hes useless, he has the ability to rocket jump everywhere as long as the medic gives him a boost, and is very versitile in attack because of his shotgun as well.

Issues if we remove soldier:
1. No quick responce to scout attacks on the medic/soldiers
2. for instance when the defending soldier is on balcony of badlands 2nd point if it was a demo defending the point then hed have to place a sticky, wait 1 second then jump to block the point, the soldier can do that instantly.
3. People who originated from TFClassic who played soldiers will be very very disappointed.

not trying to cause an argument, just making a point.

sorry i love soldier too much

Now that the WAR update has dropped, what do you think about how Valve handled the issues that everyone brought up?

Direct Hit – Requires aim so you can’t just point at the ground and insta-gib scouts
Buff Banner – Gives the soldier a “support” role with a kritz-meter which charges based on skill and aim
Equalizer – Increases running speed and allows for some clutch picks and escapes
Gunboats – Opens up new rollouts to mid, opportunities for picks, as well as skip jumping.

In fact, the new weapons solve ALL the problems with the old soldier. Why not eliminate the original rocket launcher (make people aim, not splash) and require 1 buff banner? (Expand the “uber/kritz” timing meta-game aspect.)

Quoted from Spary

It can insta gib a full healthed scout from close range aswell so I’d imagine div1 players with TDH will just dominate scouts all over the place.

You forget that div1 soldiers are fighting div1 scouts :-)
