How to play Soldier - Some Advice

[Level2Corn]

WMG hates all things entertaining

[jellybellies132]

nice job taking 8 rockets to kill a heavy not looking at you and the rocket that killed him was a crit rocket.

[SlayerEmperor]

is it confirmed that i get higher chance for crits when i killed someone?

[Mrrk09]

crits based on damage see /watch?v=YG0oc0w0SYY for it

[Griepher]

partly but really crits for any class (except melee) is based on damage. the more damage you do the higher chance u have of even MORE damage.

[Tirion777]

even tho i can see that u r a good soldier, the guys u fought were a bunch of noobs...

[kohlner]

when you killed a group of players they rarely even turned to you. noobs...

[iamVERYrandom]

You completely left out the uses for the shotgun and the shovel. When killing those snipers in goldrush, they were clearly not at full health, and neither were you, you could have used the shotty and not lost any health at all. Needed to be pointed out.

[DerTeufel0707]

... WMG SAPPIN' MAH AUDIO!

[lvb2555]

Anyone who can't get 30-0 kdr playing defensive soldier has a few issues to take care of, I'd like to see you play like this as demoman without using stickies, without spamming, and against people who aren't too nubbish to fail to realize where they are being shot from. I'm sorry, but anyone who takes 6 rockets to the back (miraculously) and doesn't turn around is just a bit fail. And yes, I'm talking about that heavy. Rockets are stickynub demos without the need to right-click. Discuss/Flame.

[jellybellies132]

watch out the pubstar is talking

[Unf4given]

watch?v=0N2CC2J0rX8feature=pla yer_embedded

imba solider

[soundeffectsfreak]

i like soldier but hav most fun sniper in orange map :)

[aitshi]

LOVE orange. play orange_x3 all the time, but the one with the waterways (orange_n4?) is one of my favorites

[himjared]

:\ decent pub tutorial.

yet to see a competitive soldier guide yet

[Lonehwolf1]

Great guide, everything explained is detailed, clear and easy to understand. 5/5 mate. Also all information given is fully accurate. Get on the field and develop your own style now, maggots 8D

[Scotium]

I turned Itunes on while watching :D

[TheLobotomist]

Too bad about the audio track, but nice video. I just put on some Slayer and enjoyed it quite well enough.

[Lonehwolf1]

same, animal i've become and let it rip <3

[mrmo3244]

fuck the WMG

[Nogarynka]

its good and helpfull vid but its 70 % crit server ? :-D

[zendro]

lol, good job! im sure thill help me be better at soldier in one way or two..

btw 4:58

IS COWARD KILLING TIMEE

[Mikidy]

please try and get audio back :( but this really helped me be better at soldier :D

[HiIh76]

You coulda killed that heavy at around 2:40 or so. If you woulda switched to your shotgun after the first four-five rockets, 1-2 shotgun blasts woulda finished him off at the higher rate of fire.

[guantai69]

lol so true 3-4 rockets, one shot with the shotgun done

[TheLobotomist]

If you watch Soldier vids of Reptile from Pandemic, he switches to shotgun immediately after firing four rockets, almost without fail.

[HiIh76]

You almost always should. Sometimes I'll switch to shotgun with one rocket left if I've already damaged someone, and there aren't any other enemies around. I like having one in reserve just in case. Shotgun is an awesome finisher.

[Lonehwolf1]

ye leaving one rocket is my style as well, it's like leaving the last bullet in the gun in case you want to end it forever ;p difference being the rocket may save you by sending you back to friendlies, or send him back to his 8D

[noobswillRULE]

Too bad they took out the audio :/

[mookosh]

ya less rockets more shovel, like when you camped in that house and 4 people came, you gibbed like 3 of them ran out've ammo waited to reload then took another shot, whereas you could've just shovel slapped the already severely damaged soldier...

[Putingrad]

Needs more E-tool, especially the way you're critting every other shot.

[Zutentu]

good tips^^

[Dax3060]

Good tutorial, although you spam rockets a bit to much.

[QuePank]

Haha finally something more useful than just how to..

[NoFearNoFlame]

but..this video had the best song choices ;____;

[Stover36]

Nice tutorial

[dbdoa]

i love the soldier. I, i don't know u

[philv1111]

i just need to learn the rocket jump and i m a perfect soldier

[ShadowXvo]

WMG is a piece of shit.

[GnudgeModerator]

FUCKING COPYRIGHTS.

[kameelyan]

it wouldn't have been an issue if he would have just put the title/author of the song in the side bar...

[13loodshed]

so let me see if i got this..i just killed 2 guys, my crit chance goes up?

[matrancer]

the most u kill, the most crits u have!

if u stay alive...

[Akolyte01]

Sort of. The more damage you do in a short time, the higher your crit chance.

Also this guy is kind of basic. Needs to get better at rocket jumping.

[rogierpoep]

you talk about the map way to much

[JakeWantsYouDead]

He says he want's to give map specific advice in the description.

[360racingSteven]

Very nice video, well done ;)

[TheChickenWrap]

How long has that entrance in Goldrush been there!? 6:27 Is it a modified version or GR?

[klutzyoldfool]

they removed that entrance recently-ish - like, a couple of months ago maybe? now red cant flank blu as effectively

[pawelte1]

Thanks!

[Craft2299]

So... if you DONT jump you wont loose as much health as jumping when firing at your self?

[SacksOfMusturd]

In this entire video you never used the soldier's shotgun.

That says something.

[kipras14]

crit chance modifies not from multi kills but from dmg...after 300 dmg dealt ur crit chance buffs up to 30% for a few secs...

[Fasterthanamaster]

you're alright, its just you rocket jump by looknig at your feet and shooting, and you do that only to get into rooms or platforms not far from the ground, instead you should look behind you at about a 40 degree angle and then shoot , it saves about 10-20hp. i play tf2 regulary add me if you want just search my youtube name in steam.

[josheylepa]

your good maybe we can play sometime if you gimmie your steam name, im a good spy =) (and OK at soldier lol)

[bigcakemonster]

SHOVEL POWER. lol

[MrWilkins88]

Doesn't matter, still would've taken it off.

[Maxinium]

the sound is off. you didn't credit the original makers of the music and stuff

[quesadilla2008]

nice vid mate 5/5 could you gimme some tips for rocket jumping cause you make some awesome jumps lol

[eckndu]

these copyright clam are so stupid, no one's watching these videos expecting your music, your music here can only be a free advertisement for us, way to not use it

[TheDanishBadger]

Very nice video! 5* What are you're specs? It looks awesome!

[joeynumonic]

wow you are good

i think ?

[1xadavid]

>:( the cursed copyright. gotta hate.

[Fleskhjerta1]

Soilders weaknesses are.. Sniper Spy Scout Heavy Demoman ______________________________­__Strong against: Other Soilders Engineer buildings and himself Medics Any class (besides Spy) thatis unprepared

[stuneree2]

Nice landing just past 7:25

[stuneree2]

NoPhysicalBody is awesome, but no offense to him, i think you are better with survival and flanking.

[TMMDarkshooter]

Reupload This video and send it to me please

[deathcloud33]

Ugh, goddamnit YouTube/RIAA. Quit breaking our entertainment!

[purerizzo]

Cracking vid mate!

[Yomarson]

Ugh...there goes another good soldier video's audio.

[xlearam]

good vid man im gonna use that ingame

[GivesGives]

awesome video

i would love to play you!

(as if i dont die enough already but still)

oh btw plz add me on steam, kingalmighty

(anyone?plz?)

[TubeofDestiny]

good video, still needs more shotgun and shovel :)

btw, I disagree with the "harass red team" on goldrush, it smells like spawn camping :/

[PrisOwner16]

Thanks dude this guide really helped, also epic music at the start hehe

[jack6333]

A very good and understandable guide on how to play the Soldier. I'd like to see more like this from you, and this also is a big inspiration for me to keep playing Team Fortress. Good work! :)

[iansquared3]

dude! you own!

[mkkor92]

"Each and everyone of you are going to be sent home to your mama in a box!"

[dewinmoonl]

We have you surrounded! at least from this side

[Tical176]

Sorry didn't send my comment on the right video...

[Tical176]

+1 When it takes you SIX rockets to kill a sniper from that range you're definitly not a good soldier try another class and don't try to make teaching videos...

Peace

[altalax29]

They need more weapons for soldier

[Hissanrach]

No, I just say more ammo.

[altalax29]

yeah

[Lickensiedicken]

If you cant cause enough damage with 4 rockets then soldier clearly isnt enough for you. Also,reload.

[Hissanrach]

No I mean more extra ammo, not ammo capacity. I find myself running out sometimes, or getting close to it. Before an update, the rocket launcher could hold 40 rockets!

[MrSheepie]

Valve call crit rockets for "CROCKETS"

And I love when he says:

"We have you all surrounded, at least from this side"

[TF2Chicky]

wow good coordination of the video. nice flow. learnt quite a few pointers !

[rickard777]

ROFL SHOVEL POWER!!11!1

[AntedeVungi]

awesome video!!! mad skillz

[dexjunior]

great video! really enjoyed it!

[umiover18]

hmm i think he should have used his shotgun more often in the times he kept reload shooting

[Kawaiiiii79]

awesome tutorial dude! keep up the good work!!

[saltydog314]

very nice video!

[gomilev]

I was never really a big fan of oprah but to my suprise this music is GREAT for these kinds of videos! Also the tips are good, I never knew that if you get a double kill you get incresed crit chanse!

[aznxk3vi17]

It's "opera," and this music isn't opera - opera has singers and words.  This piece is the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss.

[momomi100]

hey how do i getnthat game???????,

lolol

[undrtakr900]

Great video, you're good and the crit Gods must love you :p

::goes to play Soldier::

[flectz]

soldier is the hardest to use imo but is devastating if used correctly

[redeemedsmurf]

I personally think Spy, as it requires more tactic.

But soldier is one of the harder class's to use thats true.

[viciogames]

What´s the first song called?

[Kalb91]

great vid =]

THX 5*

[Arceus119]

I didn't know u get double critchance at double kill, thnx dude!

[aznxk3vi17]

It's not quite double with double kill - your crit chance scales with how much damage you are doing, so you could in fact be increasing your crit chance without having killed anybody at all (for example, shooting rockets at heavies who are being healed).

[montidude]

nice vid! greez

[ThaSquirell]

this is a really good noob video, soldier ftw:P

steam id: 94benne94 if you want to play with me, i will kick ur ass :P

u forgot to put in how to use the shogun!!!!

BIG misstake mate :D

[MMMAAATTTLLL]

holy cow!!!!! since when did they have that doorway at goldrush that you went through at 6:27 ???

[JesusROX9501]

It was there at the first stages of the release of Goldrush, but they quickly edited it out and a few other small details so many didn't even know it was there.

[XxReZoRxX1]

at 2:10 i would have rocketed jumped and killed him :D nice vid :D

[Shlunty]

omg nice, noob question tho, how did you do "quitefootsteps"?

[AuntieAnneS]

duck, (default = ctrl)

on topic thou nice vid dude... i quite enjoyed it, however i think im already a good soldier but it was nice to get a refreshing course (been playing l4d, cod waw, fallout 3, far cry 2 and Brothers in arms Hells highway)

i hope i will catch on soon... there be only one king of multiplayer and tis be TF2 :P (pirate like)

[csnations92]

how do i rocket jump?

[KopperNeoman]

See other vids :P

[Scurvebeard]

Not only helpful but really entertaining! Thanks a lot for this, even if the goldrush stuff is a bit out of date nowadays.

[vamp10]

awesome!

[darkwolf228]

good vid

[TraNWhiZ]

thx

[nachomanxmn]

"You are sourrounded, at least from this side" xD

The Soldier has the best commentaries^^

Good vid but what I would have welcomed were some tips for other maps too not just goldrush

[SomeRandomAaron]

Cmon, you gotta love the noob engys! They're the easiest to get as any class!

[narutolover101]

u know is it possible to put stickys on the cart and blow them up while it moves? thats such a kool thing to do xD make a smily face with stickys xD

[potsh0t77]

Nice kills man.

[MetalxKoala]

Nights of Cambria is like the theme of TF2 cause its on a lot of videos

[narutolover101]

knights of cyndonia by muse actually xD coheed and cambria is a band so i thought u mistakened it but after i read ur comment nvm u get it

[MetalxKoala]

yeah i realized it after i posted that thanks anyway though

[InsertSh33p]

Goldrush @ 6:27, magical non-existant door.

[spycaper51]

Either your a good solider or the entire red team is full of complete idiots.

[Lolroflok]

you gotta love soldier

[youtabeer]

you are too awesome at soldier you are mah soldier inspiration

[PICKLES740]

Awesome, Add me, pickles1994. I love soldier.

[freakymoejoe2]

you Sir, are a Genius!!

[FFFIN18]

lol you missed a scout spy in 2fort

[7ehNirate]

lovely kills sir.

[Zakkeri]

This is one of the greatest TF2 tutorials in youtube.

[Sterlonian]

Wonderful video, reat choice of music and well timed Soldier sound bites

[Cafu192]

You should show how to air shot with the rocket is well

[Methuselah13]

Awesome video, though I have one issue. At 2:10, you say that you don't have the advantage over the soldier on the upper edge, but I disagree. I saw 2 options in this scenario. The first would be to shoot the wall to his left slightly behind him, potentially knocking him off his platform. Or you could take the second, and better, option and make a quick horizontal rocketjump hop to him. This will achieve both a height advantage for you and the surprise factor.

[Methuselah13]

I have one thing to add. Everything I said above all depends on your skill as soldier, and your confidence in performing the moves needed. Once again, terrific video!

[angsk]

By they way at 2:51 is that medic is insane or just try to get rid of you ?

[angsk]

That must be map specifics haven't update at the earily April now today that exit is no more.

[thundabolt]

how come there's an extra exit in goldrush map at around 7:20?

[thundabolt]

o btw, Awesome Vid. Awesome Soldier Player

[hendabomb]

could you do the same for some other maps please? amazing vid

[diabolomanu]

that's a very good video !! 5 *****

[SnickerS1123]

damn great job

[zdamned1]

this is probably the most educational tf2 video i've seen yet

thanks for the time you took to make this!

[dawinnab]

SHOVEL POWA lol

[dannyblack1337]

hehe the song matched ^^ Epic mate, 5/5

[junkman0]

nice :D

[Helloman56]

Damn good video

[viciogames]

what is the first song|?

[solja7]

man! you're so good playing soldier

[MakurosX]

Very nice job :D thanks i learned a lot ^^

I LOVE THE SOLDIER XD

[GeminiSparkEX]

SOLDIER FOREVER!

the one class i will be garunteed to play on any match, no matter how many deaths. But who says people get away with death? Not me lol. Soldier is the best!!!

[DuCharme1014]

Very nice video, conveyed the concepts nicely and had noticeable pop-ups for when things weren't clear to see. Five stars, good job, you should keep making videos about how to play classes.

[gamesensei314]

ya should of shoveled that sniper. Save health and it's embarissing :P

[artelluros]

You made the perfect tutorial to tie up all the loose ends I ever had for my favorite class to unleash hell with. Funny arrows, great advice, delightful choice of music (and Meet the Soldier clips), and a show of amazing skill that wasn't an aimless montage.

I think I love you.

[birkir58]

becus im such a fucking noob what do blue rockets do?!??!?!?

[gsp1995]

the blue rockets are the critical rockets when you're at the BLU Team, the red rockets are the critical rockets when you're at the RED Team. Got it?

[birkir58]

ye lol

[gsp1995]

soldier rulez!!!

[Naroon201]

Another good soldier player. This video was fun to watch too. Maybe we'll meet on the battlefield someday.

[bamatwin1]

Dude your awsome hop i dont run into you one day. xD

[aprad]

thx for this, maybe the soldier wont be my worst class anymore!

[Zyplin1080]

the little pops that come with the arrows always puts a smile on my face :)

[gamesensei314]

nice advice about the weapon. you see so many noob pyros with their weapons sticking out.

[artelluros]

:D They're funny.

[DanytheElite]

Shovel power ftw

[zidiot123]

so if you get triple kill you can get a better chance of getting crit?

[auron570]

hehe i like the popping arrows =3

[diabolomanu]

teeron11 , the song is muse (Knights of cydonia)

[teeron11]
