“ | I have personally killed 6,078 men in cold blood while looking them in the eye; jumped on 1,455 live grenades; and stuffed fourteen feet of my own intestine back into my stomach.
If that doesn't scare you out of your frilly pink leotards, guess what: You are an idiot and you hate America. — The Soldier on real fear
|
” |
A psychotic poopio from the heart of America, the Soldier (allegedly Mister Jane Doe) is the bread and butter general assault unit of the team. While one of the easier to understand classes on the roster, he is far from the weakest. In fact, when played right, the Soldier can be one of the most dangerous classes on the battlefield. Equipped with his Rocket Launcher and stamina to spare, the Soldier is a highly versatile class for both offensive and defensive roles. A great starter class to get familiar with the game.
The ability the Soldier is infamous for is the spectacular rocket jump. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can point his Rocket Launcher downward, leap into the air, and fire, propelling himself skyward at the cost of some health (though as the Soldier attests, "Pain is weakness leaving the body.") This ability allows the Soldier to pop up in unexpected places and reach areas off-limits even to the Scout and his leaping prowess.
The Soldier is voiced by Rick May.

Basic Strategy
- You can rocket jump to great heights by simultaneously jumping and firing a rocket at the ground.
- Aim rockets at enemy's feet to ensure they can't avoid the explosion damage.
- Make sure you keep your Rocket Launcher loaded. Hit R to reload it at any time.
- Hit E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.
