How To Play Soldier - Some Advice (with Gold Rush tactics)
Andreas mailed in with a link to this new Solider how-to video put together by shadowie2.
Nophysicalbody already created 2 great videos with Soldier howtos.
This is my attempt at making a video with some more advice, and some map specifics for Goldrush.
There is some great soldier info in there, but what sets this one apart is that most of the information is Gold Rush specific, so it must have been produced pretty promptly. There is some nice show-off play on top of all that as well.
Plus, it gets bonus points for getting away from the usual hard techno/rock track that goes with these things normally, and rolls out the Blue Danube, Strauss style. I loved that piece ever since watching 2001 years back.
I remember turning up to a midnight screening, but I didn’t realize it was like the 6 hour (or something) epic directors cut till I was in there. The freak-me-out trippy sequence went for like 45 minutes. It was great. Apparently it was based off Audiosurf, and was the worlds first music visualization plugin. Kubrick was ahead of his time. Everyone I went along with slept through the whole cool bit 
Anyway, here’s the vid.

Brilliant vid (gonna hafta embed it on my site)!
And I love love 2001, but the Trippy Sequence is the only part that doesn’t jazz me. Well, and perhaps about ten minutes of the monkeys picking at themselves.

Definitely cool. I’m totally going to have to learn how to soldier up now.
Awesome song choice!

Very enjoyable vid. Its the little points here and there that make a vid great and stand out. Little arrows, sound effects and slowing down the pace when words showed up help it all the way. Great job

Great video, very well done! I agree about the music choice too, nice change!
Not sure if you’ve noticed Daedalus latest work - this time it’s the engineer. I couldn’t find it at the site at least.

Great video.
I’ll try some of your tactics next time I play. And hopefully I won’t suck as much as I currently do.

yippe: The song is Knights of Cydonia by Muse, and it is indeed fantastic. One of my favorites.
Also, a very good and informative video.
