Soldiers New Weapons?

What do you think he will get?

I think he will get a grenade.

And a rocket launcher made just for Rocket Jumping.

mountaible/deployable machine gun. ammo 100/200 (rate of fire 30% slower than the minigun) ..OP? well, what if it heats easily and theres a cooling period of some sort.


Also, I could honestly see a parachute coming into play with the soldier. RJ, Chute, rockets from above. That would be sick.

I really like that idea. Being exposed to snipers and airshots so much means its already plausible in terms of balance so long as you got the fall speed/manouverability right.

A parachute would be awesome.

a shotgun that you can switch to and start shooting with quicker (less ammo per clip or less damage)

That you can switch to quicker, or that shoots quicker? Or both? Either way, I would love that, and would be a great weapon for the more serious community

shooting quicker as well might need more of a nerf on something else then. im just thinking switching to and the first shot is quicker than with the current one.
so it really helps against scouts where u switch to shottie to shoot and when he comes close you can get back to the RL and so on. basically it makes you less vulnerable in between weapon switches at the cost of less dmg and/or clip size.

Note: the secondary doesnt have to be really a shotgun, just another type of weapon thats hitscan

The shotgun replacement likely won't be like the shotgun. Valve typically converts 'generic' weapons to unique ones. For example, the Pyro's shotgun to the flare gun, the Scout's pistol to the drink, the Heavy's shotgun to the sandwich, and the Sniper's SMG to jarate and the razorback.

i guess im biased, but a hitscan weapon is just really important for a soldier. i dont see how anyone would replace the shotgun for something like a flare gun or lunch box item (meaning little killing power and ability to easily hit scouts) unless the primary becomes hitscan (which is equally as unlikely as rocket jumping is kind of what defines sollying).

I really hope a parachute replaces the shotgun.  It would be pretty boring if they just replaced the shotgun with (O.O!) another shotgun...
