    Last but not least the soldier class video is out. This is my favorite class, the video I've been most looking forward to, and the class I will be playing as first.
     
    Enjoy!

    For me the soldier is the last and least ;P 
     
    Not like its not a fun class, just not my preference. The main highlight for me is beasty their heavy-armor looks when u get to that skill level.

    @Abyssfull: I actually think all classes can use heavy armor now, believe it or not. I think the effectiveness of each may be determined by each class but don't take me up on that one.

    Yeah, that's cool... but can you CHARGE ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD INTO YOUR FOES?
     
    Seriously, though, it looks like it plays fine, just a bit too vanilla for my tastes, considering the madness you can get up to with the other classes. But it looks like precisely what the Soldier needed to be, so that's good.

    That concussive blast looks like it'll come in handy.

    I <3 soldier. I played as one in ME 1, it seems like a "simple" class but it's actually really awesome.

    I intend to play as every class, as I did with the first, but Soldier is probably going to be the last one I play as. I dunno, it just seems like Soldier is a bit overpowered than the others. Especially adept, which doesn't look so hot anymore.

    I'm really split. I played a Soldier in ME1, and I'd love to continue to do so in ME2, but the Vanguard's charge attack just looks so damn sexy, I'm not sure any more. Argh!

    I am keeping my imported Shepard a soldier (because really, that and maybe Vanguard were the only ones worth playing in ME1) and will be continuing to play the game as a straight up 3rd person shooter that I occasionally pause so my party members can lift dudes up with Biotics. Then again, the Vanguard has that crazy charge move... Oh dang. All the classes look cool now!

    I'm liking all the classes now, but from my own preference, I really just want to try most of them. I think I'll stick with Soldier for my actual playthroughs. That vanguard dash is pretty sweet, and the infiltrator cloak, and the engi and adept both seem pretty nice, and I do like the sentinel powers with the tech armor, but the soldier still seems like the best overall package.
