IMO soldier isn't that good. For me the top three are scout, sniper and engineer.

>Scout
Stealth + melee class. Silenced SMGs are good too. They're quite fast as well. Can also be used as a throwing build but grenades kinds suck. Starts out weak and kinda tricky to use but can become godlike in the long run.
>Sniper
Obviously the best long range class. Also pretty decent at sneaking and interrupting. Can one-shot most regular enemies if you land a headshot, and if you have a good position you can even beat PKs one on one (though it takes time).
>Engineer
THE utility class. You want at least one of these dudes on every team IMO. Disarm traps, unlock doors, set explosives, fix weapons... They're also the best PK pilots, the best anti-PK character is an engineer in a PK of his own. Finally, if you need a heavy weapons guy I'd take one of these useful fellas over a grenadier any day.
>Soldier
The best class early on. Very strong against soft targets, can use any weapon at least decently, has the best defensive stats on average, and using a machinegun to mow down niggas straight through floors and walls never gets old. But they don't keep up well in the long run. Partially because soldier INT is usually shit so they level slower, partially because most automatic weapons aren't good against PKs.
>Medic
It doesn't take much to be able to use bandages, so I'd rather have my other dudes carry some bandages than dedicate an entire character to healing. I have the mindset that any healing done during a fight means you're wasting your time, so I only heal if it's an absolute emergency. A good sniper with weak medicine skills is generally way better than a good medic with weak snipe skills. Engineers can also make for halfway decent medics.
>Grenadier
I don't like grenades so obviously I don't like grenadiers. If you need big booms I'd rather bring an engineer, or a scout with grenades. Like the soldier they also tend to be dumb as rocks so they level more slowly.
