Because I don't see a lot of soldier guides around here, I'll make one myself.
This guide tells how I play, so if you disagree with some parts of the guide, you can always leave a comment and if I think you're right I'll change that part..
Please notice that this is just a guide and that this is not the ultimate guide or something...
Soldiers are most likely the most "basic" players in the game, they are the best in infantry battles, they have the best mid- and short-range weapons, they walk faster than gunners (not if they use leg it) and at long range they can still kill snipers ...
In this guide I'll explain how to take the battlefield as a soldier and how to own those gunners and commando's..
Now let's start! =D
Weapons
As weapons you should use the close ranged SMG and the very far-ranged pistol.
Abilities:
Combat Medicine (CM)
Combat Medicine is a must for every soldier.
Get it to level 5 as quick as possible and always use it when you can heal yourself or your teammates.
When you are fighting, don't use it to fast, just keep an eye on your health and when it's getting too low, use it.
Notice that your heal will get stronger when you heal your teammates too, and that you're always stronger with your teammates.
Always try to heal your teammates too!
Grenade Spam (GS)
Since the new version GS is less usefull than BS: it's not effective at a long range and its less powerfull and handy in short ranged battles.
Burning Bullets (BB)
A very handy ability, but not worth to train it further than lvl 1 before lvl 20: the damage will only increase by 16 and the cooldown is that not a problem.
Always use it in mid or far-ranged combat: it will disturb your enemys to hit you for a short period of time and it will increase your damage by 20.
When you think you saw a commando, shoot around with BB activated to spot that annoying knifer!
Blasting Strike (BS)
Train it to lvl 2 at least before lvl 20: it's good to avoid winclips, tank smashes and roadkills and very good in close combat.
Also use it when you're beeing knifed by a commando.
When attacked by a gunner, use it to get him away from you
Use it to blast people away when you need to get cover.
When you're out of bullets it's good to use BS while reloading.
BS can deal damage when the players hits something in the air, so it's always worth trying in maps like VV..
Either train BB or BS to lvl to lvl 3 or 4 after you trained CM, GS and 6th sence.
A short list of what abilities you should have at lvl 20 and lvl 30
Level 20:
CM lvl 5
BS at least lvl 2
BB lvl 1
6th sence lvl 1 (6th sence is not necessary, so can can also use it to train another ability)
lvl 30:
CM lvl 5
BB: at least lvl 1
BS: at least lvl 3
6th sence at least lvl 1 (6th sence is not necessary, so can can also use it to train another ability)
You'll have 6/7 HP left then to fill up GS, BS or BB
It's very important to have BB and BS at least at lvl 1: they are all very powerfull at level one, and if you have them all, you'll be an soldier that can handle every situation in the game.
Commandos
Everyone keeps telling commandos are overpowered, but when you act a little smart, you'll kill them like they were peanuts.
Knifers
Use Blasting strike while you're being knifed..
If the commando is still stealthed, use BB before you blast him away, so he can't escape.
troop traps (TT)
Just shoot that little bombs..
They are easy to spot and you just have to hit them from a safe distance..
Royal TT are green, National TT are grey.
Snipers
Snipers are a little more complicated...
1. Always keep an eye on your health. If you see you're getting shot, get cover immediatly!
Just hide behind a wall or something..
2. Now heal yourself!
3. Watch the little lines to spot them or just use 6th sence.
4. Strafe in different directions while you shoot the sniper with your pistol: you'll deal more damage than we will, because he will always miss you..
Gunners
Always try to fight at mid-range: use BS and don't run at your opponent..
Strafe from the left to the right do dodge his bullets, very good against the shotgun..
Remember that soldiers are the best skilled players in normal combat..
Tanks
Try to hide and use your BS, sticky TNT and grenades to gain the advantage.
If you can enter a tank yourself, just do it..
Try to get to a gunner, tank buster is very usefull and he might share leg-it with you, very handy to get your TNT on the tank and to walk around him so he can't hit you..
Final Hint
Change the number keys to activate your abilities by better keys (M2 and -M2 to change weapon, right mouse button to activate BB, C to activate BS, ...)
End of Guide, hope you liked it...
