I don't really like the soldier to be honest, not a big fan of the rocket launcher or the Direct hit. Whenever I play as the soldier, I get really bored, point fire, point fire, point fire, really nothing to him. I liked the pyro because I liked creeping in the enemy base, just looking for someone completely unprepared for the shit storm I was about to deliver, being so confused when I give him the run around, flanking into the very middle of enemy charges from being and scattering them and effectively dismantling their plans.

I gave thought about returning to the heavy. I was a heavy in the beginning, and I did fairly well, but I've also made great strides as medic, spy,and sniper as of late.

[/quote]I never said I was a good soldier, I just don't see them as entertaining. I actually play them less then I do scouts, which I am atrocious.

plus, the "Pyro scrubs" have the compression blast to be entertaining, and effective. Sure the killing ability of the pyro has been severely reduced but the pyro is now key at sentry guns,  being able to reflect projectile, reveal spies, and remove their machines. They've changed the pyro's identity, and while it may not be better for the attacking aspect,but he will be good in a clinch 1-4 control point situation.

[/quote]they have the compression blast to piss people like me off cause i cant say "w+m1" anymore
although they dont really piss me off because its fun to wait an extra second between shooting rockets at you guys because you airblast at the wrong times, or try to airblast my shotgun

and by "now key at sentry guns" i hope you dont mean "kill the damn thing" because i hated the backburner patch because of that

[/quote]Who the hell would airblast a shotgun?

No, but that's impressive. I was referring to key to defense

[Moosendoo]

shotgun soldier is the way to go, btw.

f that.  Except for on pure close quarters maps, gunboats are the best funnest way to go.  I could probably go the long way from one side of badwater to the other just with rocket jumps with losing less than 50 health (carefully using rockets to negate fall damage).  Plus it's 10 times more fun to rocket jump and rain rockets down on pyros than to shotgun them.  8)

Now you get the assist if they die from the fall damage

[Moosendoo]

Psh.. That's only happened to me maybe once.  I'll take my chances.
