Soldier (Team Fortress 2)

"Pain is weakness leaving the body"

- The Soldier Soldier is a crazed patriot from America's heartland. Tough, durable and well-armed, he's versatile, capable on both offense and defence, and a great starter class to get familiar with the game. Being xenophobic, he carries an extreme hatred of foreigners (despite his idea at The Art of War has Chinese origins) and hippies.

The Soldier is well known for his spectacular rocket jump. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can detonate a rocket at his feet and launch himself skyward at the cost of some health. This ability allows the Soldier to pop up in unexpected places and reach areas off-limits even to the Scout's double jump.
