My first playthrough of ME1 I chose the soldier, and I haven't looked back. My main playthrough is a soldier from ME1-->ME2, but im not sure if I will use him in ME3. If you can use an assault rifle in ME3 as any class, I see no point in using a soldier. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Soldier will be the only one who can equip more than two weapons at once.

You could use the Assault rifle as non soldier class in ME2 as well, from when you board the Collector ship...

Soldier is the only class that can have Revenant AR, that counts at least something.

From the looks of the screenshots, the Soldier has a passive/ability called Fortitude. Which by the name, resembles that of Fitness/Immunity skill in ME1, which would make the Soldier ten times better than the ME2 counterpart.

ME1 Soldier tops any class in any game, unless in ME3 they let us choose ANY bonus ability, instead of a few selection. Because Soldier with Tech Armor in ME3 would be THE ****!!!!

Technically you had even more option to use Assault Rifle with any class in ME1 than in ME2 seeing as any class could use it from the start of the game and put points into using it accurately if had taken the weapon as their bonus skill at start on a playthrough after an initial one where it was unlocked.

OP if you think other classes being able to use Assault Rifle makes Soldier useless then clearly you don't know too much about the class you claim to like so much.

No other class has Adrenaline Rush and as has been pointed out, Soldiers will be able to equip ALL of the weapons even the SMG (unless that demo footage is inaccurate) which previously they didn't have access to.

My main is a soldier and I played him through ME1 and ME2 also and i intend to keep playing him through ME3. I was kinda bummed too though, when bioware confirmed that any class can use any weapon. But at least a soldier can have all of weapons at once. And having all weapons at once can open up some more moves tactically then other classes i guess. but those are just my two cents.

I still think that Soldier will remain the deadliest SoaB.

It always seems like Soldier fans are the first to complain :P They're the only class that can carry so many weapons at once.

To the people who point out being able to use all guns is such a great thing with soldier class I feel compelled to remind you of the two major draw backs with that.

1. Not every weapon is useful, and a majority of the time an AR will do the trick quite well.
2. Unlike Tech or Biotic upgrades, soldiers have to upgrade every single weapon, to reach their full potential.
Addendum:  Out of all the classes I feel that the soldier should of gotten the 25% discount because we buy/build so damn much. 

To those who point out to Adrenaline Rush being such a good skill, Infiltrators have a slowdown with any sniper rifle via class power, and the Vanguards charge is much more powerful due to it being able to be affected by biotic bonuses as well

Um, Adrenaline Rush pretty much the coolest ability besides charge?

I played as Biotic in my main Shepard and my alt was a soldier and playing as a soldier and it was so much easier because of all the gun types I could use and hardly ever running out of ammo's. Plus they have some exclusive guns I think.

while other classes need "powers", Soldiers use guns. Lots of guns.

Here's to hoping for a noob tube for soldiers as well.

That anyone else can use. We may get to use all of them at once, but if that is our only perk than it is extremely dissapointing. 

Fortitude? Until we know what it does no cause for celebration. What if its just a weaker tech armor that doesn't explode? 

Soldier do need something to help make them unique. Some sort of hook or pull. At first I thought it was going to be grenades, but it seems those are available for other classes right?

I think engineer is the most useless class. Soldier however is the best for both games so far and will no doubt be the same in 3.
