I see people complaining how soldier is underpowered, and I've seen very low amount of high level soldiers in mp.

To all who think soldier is underpowered try this build:
- carry only assault rifle as weapon(for recharge boost)
- get passive weapon bonuses dmg from alliance training
- get all radius and recharge upgrades for concussive shot
- rest point to frags or hp/shield

You get concussive shots with about 1.5sec cooldown. They also apply 100% damage bonus to organics for 10 seconds. You can knockback-lock most enemies forever and deal massive amounts of dmg with headshots. Also because concussive shots are homing missiles, you don't even have to aim them and they go around obstacles, walls etc.

It's ridicilously overpowered build in any difficulty level.

they don't have any powers to counter shields, armor, barriers or guardian shields. All they can do is shoot. What bugs me the most is why don't they have more health/shields than other classes.

Also worth pointing out is the nerf it got in the Recharge Speed of Adrenaline Rush... So Adepts get a 3 second Decrease in Singularity (4.5 Seconds to 1.5 Seconds) but Soldiers see a 9.5 seconds increase in Adren Rush (5 Seconds too 14.5 Seconds) That is just retarded...

This. Played the soldier for one game and quickly got tired of spraying with the assault rifle.

My guess is that the soldier is the least like it was in the ME2 single player game. I looked through the soldier skills and adrenaline rush no longer has the time dilation effect (cause its multiplayer). Anyone playing a soldier on insanity in ME2 pretty much relied on that time dilation effect heavily.

Yea soldier in multiplayer is screwed. They should be able to use cryo,fire,disruptor,etc...without depending on equipment. Soldiers just shoot...so they should be the best at it.

In addition to not having a good counter to shields, they're the worst class for dealing with Phantoms.

Adrenaline rush is probably the weakest class power.

they just don't scale as well as I thought they would.

Wow, I absolutely rock with my soldier with his maxed out frags of doom. I almost always get 3 kills at once with a well placed frag, made sure to increase it's blast radius and added bleeding effect. I absolutely wipe the floor with groups of enemies, and adrenaline rush is awesome in that it automatically reloads your weapon, so I just burn a 'clip' down to single digits and use it to instantly reload and give me max damage boost.

I hear concussion shot is great for phantoms.  Holds nothing on Charge or Stasis though.

Adrenaline Rush is a useless power in multiplayer.  The damage multiplyer is hardly worth it.  Upgrade passives and then concussion round/grenades (grenades will give you a good option against shielded/synthetic enemies once you unlock EMP).

The soldier is a force not to be trifled with but damn is it boring, generic and something we played in dozen of other FPS/TPS. I prefer hybrid classes. Infiltrator, Sentinel and Vanguard are versatile and enjoy playing with them.

The Asari Adept is boring for the same reason. Spam Bubble Statis all day long.

ME3 was another screwing for soldiers. First they lost heavy armor and now every class can tote around heavy weapons that only a soldier could use before.

I've played as a Krogan soldier and I think he's pretty Bad ****. Carnage is awesome and he can melee like a beast with upgraded passive Rage ability.  His power melee is a Krogan Charge which is like a free ability, similar to the Vanguard's biotic charge.

Soldier has always been extremely easy in single player so this is a welcome change.

Yeah, just unlocked my Krogan soldier yesterday and was insta-leveled to 18. Maxed out his health and shields along with fortify, haven't been killed once yet. I love going on melee sprees, just one-hitting practically everything (even phantoms), hell even melee'd two atlas mechs to deaths today (with some assistance), lol.
