Okay so I know this discussion will create a lot of arguments but I think this should be a class in TF2. We do have a solder yes, but we need a class that is a cross between scout and solder. Speed and power, with just enough protection to hold his own on the front line. This class could very easily fit that roll while giving players used to Halo a class that will fit there play style.

Character:

I really can't come up with a good stereotype for this character; the only one I came up with is Italy. Anyone else have a better idea?

For weapons this is what I am thinking:
- M-16 (primary)
-- cross between the SMG and Sniper Rifle; minus the scope making it perfect for close to mid-range combat.
- Shotgun (Secondary)
-- The typical secondary of most assault classes in TF2.
- Combat Knife (Melee)
-- Has the same speed of the Bat and the power of a Shovel; but its range is extremely short.

Alt. Weapons/unlocks, ideas, and abilities:
- Hand Granades. (secondary replacement)
-- only class that uses grenades, could open new ways of combat such as grenade jumping and the introduction of stick grenades.
- Pistol (secondary replacement)
-- Just for fun you can replace the shotgun with the pistol.
- Surplus Box of Boom ( secondary replacement)
-- Increases clip and ammo capacity size by 20%.
