I dunno where people are getting this "omg soljur iz ez 2 pleh" mentality from. When I first tried it, I got the snot whipped out of me. After a while though, I learned the essentials and found that it's a really balanced class, when you think of it.
The splash damage of crit rockets is a little on the OP side of the fence, but that's crits for you. They're the 2nd slowest class and have the smallest primary clip, which means the soldier can be vulnerable even in close quarters.
I agree with flash. There's a huge difference between a skilled soldier and a mediocre one. To what class is a soldier OP? Most would say pyros, scouts, and demomen given that those are the typical match ups when playing. However, scouts are too fast for soldiers to nail usually and pyros can reflect their rockets...so it evens out. They aren't OP. The only thing that might be a bit OP if anything is his crit rocket which comes frequently due to easiness of picking up damage.
I'm so tired of hearing that the soldier is an easy class. To be a true master, it takes a lot of practice. There is an enormous difference between a mediocre or even intermediate soldier and a trained, expert soldier.
The soldier might be the easiest class to play but it takes a while to start really racking up the kills with it. (Unlike Pyro, where you can pretty much W + M1 and beat a lot of people on the scoreboards.)

Well if you ask alot of people the Soldier is kinda a noob class sense it really doesnt take much skill to shoot at the ground in from of your enemy just timing.
Their ability to strageically support was lessened in the last update. I just assumed that uber not ticking down when it wasn't being used was a feature not a bug.
My most-played class is medic, I know how to support; I was disapointed to learn it was an "exploit." It made for some really great uber heavy runs.

TF2 Soldier is just awful compared to every other iteration of TF I've played. I'm mostly pleased with the game outside of that. Although the latest medic tweak update wasn't good.
I'm sure it'll just get continually worse, ala CS.
Then! the direct hit fixes that :)

so soldier should use rockets only for things like rocket jumping, heavies, other soleris, and sentries? that sounds right, everyone else is to fast

@Mysterbyg That is unless you come across a Pyro who tries to W+M2 those rockets right back at you, in which case: SHOTGUN SOLDIER TIME! 8D

I main as spy and I think soldiers are way easier to kill than HWs. Believe it or not, I also have an easier time sniping them compared HWs.

Sniper's for suport? Snipers should switch roles with engie.
Support helps out in special ways. Gives health, Gives ammo, Give enemy details like where their sentries are. A sniper don't do this.
Defense defends the fortress and contol points.

Scouts are annoying as hell to kill with a rocket launcher. I usually just try to pick 'em off with the shotgun.
