I liked the soldier class from ME because I could wear all the armor and not have to worry if it was light or heavy. They also get all weapons so its easier but the draw back is no biotics for backup use. Also they're stronger and I feel a leader who is a soldier makes the team stronger .
I just feel shepard soldier is and therefore makes the group stronger where as shepard biotic or even infiltrator is weaker and makes the team members have to work harder though I the life is the same on both maybe its the style that of how one plays that makes me think that way or lack of guns and strong armor. What I'd like to know is why do people want to play as an engineer?
Why are soldiers so popular? What is the draw?

I, for one, have had enough of the OP's disingenuous assertions.
Ranting about how lame soldiers are compared to adepts and making veiled insults at the people who use the class won't make them any more popular.
^Spot on! Thank you for seeing it for what it is!

I like soldier as he or she is a normal person, and has nothing different about them. No super biotics or techy power, just a plain man doing great things

I never played an engineer, but you know what, looking at their abilities
http://masseffect.wi..._(Mass_Effect_2)
I think I might like an engineer even more than an adept. You have the ability to strip shields bare in overload and also blast through armor with incinerate.
biotics lack an ability that strips shields away other than blasting enemies with your pistol. I think I am going to replay mass effect 2 as an engineer soon. As a "caster" focused archetype, they are the total package.

It's an easy and fun class. Personally, I'm more interested in the story than the gameplay, so easy and fun is appealing often times.

Couple reasons I like the soldier.
First, I feel it meshes best with the story and gameplay. Shepard always strikes me as a man of action, a front-line fighter who can stand toe-to-toe with... Well, pretty much anything. I just can't see playing him as an engineer and not feeling a little bit of a disconnect with the plotline.
Second... Guns. Guns are awesome.
Third. We have the ability, through advanced training research, to pick up an extra biotic or tech power anyways. Sure, it's not as varied as if we'd gone full biotic... But it's not like you'd get any unique powers. You can always fill your powers out with those your squad possesses.
Fourth: Being a soldier makes it easier for me to bring along different team mates, instead of constantly having to select one or two specific squaddies who are strong enough to hold the line while I keep my easily-killed ass out of the line of fire. Soldiers are the damage soak class, and if I'm already a damage sponge, I have greater freedom to choose who I want with me.
Fifth: Did I mention that guns are awesome?

hmm, looking at the sentinel looks even better than an engineer, I can basically disable EVERY defense in the game, they are the most versatile by far out of all the more caster heavy chars.

@ TS:
I don't know, I think the soldier is the least exiting class of the game.
It's probably because a lot of people just plain and simple like to shoot without all the fuss.
This is also the reason why a lot of RPG stuff is removed. Lot's of people think it's to much of a hassle.
I know for a fact some people just play the game without even listing to conversations / talking to teammates etc. They don't even know what the game is about.
EA and BIOWARE try to appeal to a large group of players this way.
I think it add's a lot to fun if you can do something extra besides pulling the trigger of a gun.
For me:
1. Adept
2. Engineer
3. Sentinel
4: Infiltrator
5. Vanguard
6. Soldier

Does anyone else play these types of games as the default class for the first playthrough? I did the same in KOTOR 1 and 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. I always play as the default class on my first playthrough to get a good feel of the game.

For me it's 1. Vanguard 2. Soldier 3. Adept 4. Sentinel 5. Infiltrator 6. Engineer. Soldiers don't need alot of biotics the class is pretty much a class that makes you a One Man Army. And the revenant machine gun alone makes the class way more deadly too a larger variety of enemies.

I use Soldier because I grew up with shooters, Quake, Doom, RTCW, Duke Nukem, Half-Life, Call of Duty back when it was good, etc.. Soldier just seems like the most logical choice, with the second one being Infiltrators, and, IMO, the Soldier is by far the most versatile class with the Sentinel as a close second.
That and it being the default choice which is what most people will
pick up if they are renting the game or trying it out for the first time,
I know I did back when I played ME1 for the first time.
And guys, we are not all ADD kids/fratboys who only play CoD/Halo on our 360s and wouldn't know a good plot if it hit us in the face, some of us have, you know, different tastes?
There's a whole world outside of this board and youtube stereotypes

The OP probably looks like this in real life: x7e.xanga.com/9328254149279253117103/z201107608.jpg and thus feels the need to always play the ridiculously powerful character, because they have come to accept the fact that they don't have any notable physical attributes in real life, so they refuse to play as someone in a game who is closer to reality, but physically superior to themselves, because it just irritates them more.
In all seriousness, it blows my mind that you "Can't relate" to one of the most realistic classes in the game. So you can relate better to someone who essentially has super powers, than someone who is like an actual soldier out there fighting today? Just because someone doesn't have magical powers doesn't make them barbaric.

Bingo. At least someone gets it.
People like what they like. Why make a big deal out of it?

Chillax guys. Soldier may be the most used, but that doesn't necessarily make it the most loved. How many here have started on soldier and then gone on to play another class they enjoyed more? I know I did, and by doing so I put another check in the data collectors soldier column. Also the amount of playthrus individuals have done varies, but most are going to want to do at least one run that has all the guns availabe to see what theyre like. So if your fave is the Engineer, Adept or Vanguard and you've done multiple platrhtus there's a likely hood that one of those will be played by rhe soldier

Soldier is actually my favorite class mainly because I like to do the shooting and let my squad back me up with their abilities.
I always play with my squad's power usage set to manual though since playing any class particularly a soldier without manually controlling my squad would remove way too much of the tactics for my taste. With squad powers set to manual playing as a Soldier actually presents somewhat of a tactical challenge since you have to rely almost entirely on your squad's powers and thus have to choose your squad wisely for each mission and choose when and where to use their powers carefully.
That said I'm amazed that 2/3 of the players rolled with soldiers. I've played every class and I've enjoyed them all, although Vanguards really aren't my cup of tea.
