Bouncing people as a soldier works very well.Shoot to the left or right of their feet and when they land repeat This way they take damage from walls and fall damage plus rocket damage Most good soldiers use this technique and you won't be poisened or knifed very easily

Better than waiting till they land again and chancing missing toss em towards a wall and then hit the wall behind them. Sounds harder than it is, I'm certainly not anywhere even close to 1337 but if you keep you crosshairs on them and stay just a little ahead this is done very easily. Sometimes you'll even get lucky and smack'm in the face, then atleast you feel 1337.



<---- not 1337, but maybe 1335

After a while you will have a feel for where they are being bounced to. So even if there are explosions or Pyro fire you will still have a rocket heading for the right spot.
About the only thing to do is throw your gernades and hope the soldier is having a bad day, because there is nothing you can do but go along for the ride to respawn.

Or when your feeling really uber don't even use the walls, just hit them directly with the rocket.

Grr..I hate getting bounced, the only thing that works for me to stop this is attempting to steer like I would with a conc. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. Kinda crappy when you're helpless in the air. #Cussing out

It's "leet-speek". 1337 is a short version of 31337, or ELEET (elite). If you're 1335 or 1336 then you're not quite leet yet

It sucks when you have ping like 250 and stuff. I can't even bear it. Hard to RL and you really need to time yoru rockets well.

I have found the most fun way to kill snipers lately.I rocket them way in the air and switch to shotgun like skeet #Milti If they survive the shoygun they make a nice splat sound when they hit the ground and they are dead #Shocked Just set your shotgun and rocket when you spawn which I always do as a soldier then set last weapon within easy reach

Nah, you know whats even funnier is catch them in thier blind side, shoot a rocket, quickly switch to the shotgun and fire a shot. Then the following rocket that is still on its way finishs them off. Kinda like a combo punch for the knockout. Really funny when the shotgun shot gets thier attention then they turn and BOOM, rocket in the face.

Even better is to shoot them up into the air, pull out a corwbar and whack 'em. Takes about 3 stabs or so, but it is so dang funny.
