Solly unlockables

Ok guys, Im gonna throw my unlocks. Please do NOT flame, because I am ze battle medic.

The Maggot Launcher


25% faster rockets
25% less damage


If you click m2 The last rocket you shot drops in a straight line. Good for twitchy aim (I wouldnt need this, since im a good shot, but some would), also for the sentry harrasser and for some carpet bombardments. Ill add more stuff to the original post.

Shotgun: The bunker buster


If standing still while firing, this baby deals 75% more damage than the shotgun, but shoots 20% slower
If moving, It deals 75% less damage but shoots 20% faster

The Artillery of War - Rocket Launcher (Solly likes Sun-Tzu, hence the pun on "Art of War".  If you don't get it watch "Meet the Soldier")

Does 33% less damage (open to tweaking)

50% Larger Clip (6 Rocket Clip)

Paints enemies upon damaging them (Paints enemies a bright version of their team's color, I'm talking a smoky looking neon here... Uses HL2 Paint-can+Gravgun effect with a different texture)

Greatly increased knockback affects painted enemies (doesn't impact airblast effectiveness)

Paint Effect Affects Self...This gives you higher Rocket-Jumps, but more vulnerability to Knockback from Enemy Weapons.

Flak-Launcher
Identical to the standard launcher as far as capacity/knockback except...

When a rocket gets X distance from an enemy it explodes, regardless.  This means getting a full damage body shot is impossible, but it greatly improves the solly's capability for air control.  The rockets would also explode on walls/floor so rj's would be completely unaffected.

imo, new unlocks should be less trade-off, more gimmick

the Soldier should have crit rocket hot pockets that boost health to 200% permanently and make all of his rockets for the next 20 minutes all criticals

What does the soldier need to do better at? I hear that he's slightly underpowered in high level clan matches. How so?

Ermh, its me who is suggesting unlocks, you discuss them only, but thanks for adding ideas

The solly is pretty weak acutally, the only reason its even used in comps is cuz he is faster than a heavy and can protect medics better. If it weren't for class limits, it would be 2, scouts, 3 demos, 1 medic. If its a 6vs6 match

this is an interesting idea.

Jin, if it werent for class limits, it would be 6 scouts.

You mean 4 scouts 2 demomen

5 scouts 1 engi.
