Rumor has it, CyCoDaD hates soldiers.

So as nature intended, I want to be a soldier!!! But honestly I SUCK at it.

HELP!!!!!

First off, you'll need the right tools for the job. A freshly painted Rocket Launcher with a custom built rocket.


But seriously, as a pretty much amateur soldier myself, all I can say is to aim for the feet of your opponent, and jump when you fire your rockets. I learned that from mulching EagleEyes. Oh, try to bounce your opponent around before they can get a bead on you. I'm pretty sure you've had it done to you by the resident Soldiers that frequent our fair city.

[OS]

Oh...and another tip, Eagle taught me this, always fire when the enemy is reloading.

It helps

If you want some practice as a soldier, go and play some mulch_dm. You'll get killed a horrible kill to death ratio to start with, but you'll learn how to aim your rockets better. This also helps to 'teach' you how to throw your 'nades. To get some practice at throwing people off their feet, play some mulch_dm with the gravity down low (and use rockets). This will make you predict where they will land, and have a nice shinny rocket waiting for them. Hopefully this will help you get at dad some. LOL

fire your rockets at there feet where you think they are going! lots of leading and anticaption in the rocket world. flip to shotgun often to finish off them pesky survivors.

Spys, medics and scouts, (good ones) are the hardest to kill with just rockets. They tend to get blown across the map out of your reach unless you can bounce them around a tight area. so blast them with your shotgun after a rocket or two.

Run from good HW's and get behind a wall after getting a couple of rockets off. You probably wont make it but if you do reload prime gernade...then step out and throw gernade and rocket away. If its an average hw circle and rocket switch to shotgun and finish him...If its the 3 best hw on the Ville DIE!

Prime and hold gernades and let them fly right in their faces (warm feeling all over)

Love to fly!
Rcket Jump! practise practise! Learn the crouch rocket jump so you can get under things and thru windows ect.
Nail gernade surprise, rocket jump and throw gernade over building or.... for great effect
jump on cycodads back and crowbar him! he will love you for that!

Bind your scroll wheel to up for rocket and down for supershotgun. best thing I ever did


Have fun

hit them mid-air when they are falling

[ToRaK]

A note on HW's:

4 time out of 5 I can win against an HW, exp. if we are both at full strength and I have a 'nade. It gets a bit harder if you are weak already, or don't have any 'nades. You need to hit an hw with 3-4 rocks (feet shots) and one 'nade will finish him off nicely. The 'nades time out pretty well with this as well. Start a 'nade as soon as you see hw, fire all your rockets at him, and toss the 'nade. This usually works, even against those great Ville HW's.

Direct rockets (rockets in mid-air) are much harder, and I wouldn't bother really practicing this as most people don't spend the majority of time in the air. If you want to get good at this and improve your aiming, play a game with low gravity and only direct rocket fire allowed. Kinda hard to get people to understand and do this, even in a DM server. Remember, practice makes perfect.

Taking out those pesky HW is quite easy with solly. (sometimes) Just stay as far away from them as possible. Then just shoot at their feet while priming nades. They can't hit a bus from far away!

Learn to shoot a rocket to the right and throw a nade to the left or vice versa. It sandwiches the nmy in between.

Save those nail grenades for sgs. If you can get it to stick between the legs of the sg, it will take it out in one sec.

When running towards snipers, fire at their face while jumping side to side. It will blind them a little and give you a chance to get closer.

Don't fight too close to your opponent, the splash damage from your own rocket will tear you up.

Have fun Ma!

Mom, I've been wanting to learn how to fight with soldier too. If you want to mulch, let me know (here, PM, or email).

I'd feel better learning with someone else for a session before getting some expert soldier to knock me around.

[EagleEyes]

Actually, it's much better to face very good people on mulch. You learn more win you lose than when you win. So let someone beat the crap outta' you on mulch. In time you will appreciate it more. I just mulched with some awesome soldiers on a mulch server. They beat the sense back into me. The 'MAIN' thing for all classes is good nade priming&timing. If you understand this you can pretty much kill anyone. Basically go to a mulch server, get the crap beat outta' ya. Learn nade priming. Reapeat those steps over and over.

One more thing:

Having a good offense intertwined with good defense. Some soldiers can counter your shots by dodging yours and shooting you. This can easily be done when you don't jump. When you jump you can't move in all directions like you can when planted.

Ok i've been wanting to brush up my solly skills, and I guess I need someone tokick the crap out of me, so eagle;.....
when are ya available.
