Well, there is a carry weight limit, Soldier just has the highest base limit. Everyone gets a %weight limit increase 1-2 times (2nd rank and usually 5th rank) in there class power. So, Soldier can carry the most in general but you can go over the limit.
Going under the limit gives a cooldown bonus so it can be worth going in light regardless of class. Though I'd personally say Soldier benefits the least from this as it's, you know, mostly guns anyways. That said, more Adrenaline rush never hurt anyone.
I bet you anything carrying a Widow, Claymore, and Revanant though on a soldier will get him over his limit even specced for max weight.
-edit-
That weight 'limit' (use that word lightly as you can go over it) actually feeds into there armor powers (which are all on/off switchs now, not duration). They come with an encumbrance penalty to your weight limit. Due to what you carrying being on basically a cooldown bonus/penalty slider of a sort it just moves that slider. So even if your well under your limit, you'll still encure a penalty it looks like.
I REALLY love the way that system is looking. Just a free flowing cooldown bonus/penalty that's used as a means to balance out weapons and armor powers with everything else. Very delicious.
