One gamer's analysis of the underwhelming power the soldier class possesses.

Epic win. Maybe someone should send him a few soldier vids.

His arguments are 100% perfect. Looks like I won't play soldier any more.

He seems pretty new at the game. Notice his comment "I just learned that you should aim upwards with grenades so that you can get a direct hit at longer range".

And while he correctly notices that Demos are better against Heavies and Sentries, he doesn't touch on how Soldiers perform better against Scouts, Spies, Pyros....

LOL and just the other day I had a guy tell me I didn't need to aim as a soldier. I should just quit playing the class now.

On a side note I did have fun juggling, shotgunning and shoveling that guy. Then I would type, just to be a dick.

Seems like you'd have to be kind of new to life on earth to make that observation.

Somebody switch to Pyro... This is so clearly flamebait.

Pretty much pointless, but I agree about the ammo thing. It's annoying running out all the time...

I just carve rockets out of the weapons of my fallen foes and throw those at them.
