Soldiers can put out sustained dps but popping your head out of cover for any amount of time = death in MP & SP. There really is no great assault rifle (save the Falcon but that gun makes things too easy) unlike the phenomenal sniper rifles/shotguns/pistols.

No.

Vindicator is good in SP with the caster classes, and is even better under Adrenaline Rush.  Probably the best all around AR in the game.  Mattock is decent if you prefer semi automatic.  And as for the heavies, Saber and Revenant are also very good in SP especially under Adrenaline Rush.

You can of course abuse Incendiary Ammo with GPR and supposedly with Particle Rifle, but haven't tried that myself.

Too bad, you should. It's quite comical, actually. I think the Explosive ammo 'exploit' works with the Hurricane as well (Liara and EDI are beastly with Hurricane + squad explosive ammo). Explosive Ammo + any super high RoF gun is about as silly/fun as the Stasis FoD from ME2.

Nothing like beating an entire fight sequence 5 mins prematurely and mozying over to the next checkpoint in awkward solitude.

Absolutely not....AB in SP is uber-bullet time!

MP Soldiers aren't terrible.

Well, Batarian and Krogan aren't. Krogan and Batarian Soldiers are fun as hell, imo. Turian is fun if you max out Marksman and use the Revenant. Human is kind of iffy.

I' playing only soldier since ME and two weeks ago I started ME3 again with an imported character.
Difficulty was set to insanity from the beginning.
It did not suck at all.
Usually I' am carrying all guns except the SMG, just for the fun of it.
AR and sniper-rifle with Warp-Ammo, Shotgun wit inc. ammo. The heavy pistol is used as shield-breaker.
Cryo-ammo is only for squadmembers without ammo-powers such as EDI or Tali.
I usually don't use adrenaline-rush or concussive-shot, I relay on my weapons.

Currently I'm on a NG+ and even on insanity the difficulty is laughable. I switched to three weapons only because I did not use the shotgun often. Argus X, Widow X and Paladin X (just finished Thessia for Widow X).
Argus with accuracy/scope - Paladin with Ammo/penetration - Sniper with concentration/penetration.

Every oponent without shields drops after one shot with the sniper, no matter were I hit him. Maximum two bursts with the Argus (sometimes just one, depending on how lucky I mange the headshots). Regular Cerberus soldiers and Cannibals are a joke.
Banshees and Brutes somtetimes need a bit af running, but still are quite easy doable.

I don't have the feeling that soldier sucks.
I have a lot of fun and usually I do not need medigel. Except when I don't watch the surrounding or I am dreaming ;-)

Soldier is fun.
I' laying one as well in MP (don't play much) but I noticed that every other class is capable of killing the enemies faster than I can. That brought me the idea to do SP with a different class. I think I might give the Vanguard or the Sentinel a shot.

Cheers

Dex

The Soldier is amazing on SP because of armor powers. Try squad cryo combined with incendiary for yourself with all particle rifles. Flash freeze explosions everywhere

Soldier is decent in any application, but you have to work with some pretty serious handicaps to get it perfect. This is especially true in multiplayer, where you get weapons randomly. Case in point- it took me forever to get the phaeston for my turian. Once I did, it was too weak out of the gate to do anything unless I line up consistant headshots. The soldier is fun, but you have to work to get there. It doesn't have the instant gratifiaction of an infiltrator or vanguard.

Yup. Been playing MP as a vanguard and recently started one in SP.  Sure the risks are there but the vanguard was literally raping faces as compared to playing other classes.  It also takes less time and effort to kill hordes of enemies with the vanguard as compared to a Soldier.

I have played ME2 and ME3 has a Soldier, becuase thats what Shepard most likely is, He is an Alliance Marine

it works in single player becuase you either have Liara,Samara,Miranda,Jack or Jacob if you need some Biotic Powers to resolve a combat situation, not to mention, a fully upgraded Concussive Shot is very effective also,not to mention all the ammo powers

The ammo powers and the time dilation in Adreneline Rush are what 'make' the soldier class in Single-Player. The fact that Multiplayer removed Adreneline Rush entirely and turned ammo powers into equipment means that Soldiers in Multiplayer are rather below their potential.

As for the idea that Shepard must be a Soldier because he is a soldier by profession is a pretty silly one. Marines have their commo specialists, they have their snipers, they have their heavy weapon guys, they have their medics, they have their mechanics... they're all soldiers but that doesn't mean they're all Infantrymen. Shepard is an N7 but N7 is a leadership role, not just an indicator of 'how gud u shot bad ppl'.

I wish they had kept armor classes in the game, and weapons skills. Soldiers just feel so lackluster now compared to most of the other classes.

[survivor_686]

The Soldier destroys in SP. The MP version is neutered in order to encourage teamwork and experimentation.

[brian_breed]

People continue to poop on soldiers and assault rifles. Soldiers continue to do well with them. Equip Armor pen to any assault rifle. Add stabilizer to the heavy fire automatics (Phaeston, Revenant, even GPR). Add extended barrel to the slower fire assault rifles (Vindicator, Mattock). Profit.

[RedCaesar97]

Assault rifles are okay, but as a Soldier, I think you are better off using a sniper rifle, shotgun (Claymore especially), or the Hornet SMG.

What weapons do you use to shatter the atlas glass? When I try using sniper rifles, it just destroyes them before I can shatter the glass.

I had to use an unmodded Raptor for the achievement too, my other SR's kept blowing the thing up...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Warp Ammo with Concussive Shot lvl6, sets off biotic detonations.

 Soliders aren't as bad as people make them out to be.  I run with a human soldier and usually have one of the higher scores( unless a vanguard is in the group).    You have to stay on the offensive with this class, and have good aim.  I ignore frag grenades completely and they are very useless.  Keep your Adrenaline up when groups of enemies are around, put points into damage, and double shield strength.  Concussion Shot is very underestimated.  IF you use a light weapon(like a Geth Plasma AR) and you have a fast recharge rate then you can spam concussion shot.  This will effectively juggle many enemies and in most cases only leave them with a few bars left.

So you juggle with concussion while gunning them down.
As for aiming, put points into head shots so they go down alot faster.

Your gun mods should be armor piercing and damage.
