Soldiers Pros:

- Rocketjumping, gets you to 90% where only a demo could get, so pretty much everywhere
- In comparison, soldier can rocketjump 5 or 6 times while demoman can jump 1 or 2 times depending on the amount of nades (1 or 2, 3 is too much and sometimes you die from the fall when you use 2)
- 200 Hp, which is more than every other class except heavy (its not much more i know, BU​
- 200 Hp is just enough to survive a crit (i dont remeber how the crit works but maximum damage on a crit is 195)
- In comparison, no other class except heavy can survive a crit without having a medic extend your hp
- Rockets crit A LOT
- Again, other classes besides from soldier and heavy die from crit rockets in just one shot, and it doesn't need to be a direct hit because the rockets have splash damage
- Rockets can propel people into air where they are A: Completely helpless B: Die from the fall or C: Another soldier so it doesnt matter
- The rockets, even on the rare occasion they do not crit, still do a whole bunch of damage and have splash damage, and pretty much everything dies from 1 - 3 rockets
- The secondary weapon, shotgun, is a good overall weapon

Cons:
- Slow movement
- Four shots before reload (but you know you usually only need 1 anyway because theres a 99% chance it crits)
