The spinfusor hits the dude was pulling off in that video a couple of weeks ago eclipse any air rockets of Q3. The sheer distance he was shooting at is incredible!

And I'd like to see him play after the soldier nerf. That video is from pre-ammo nerf games, Ive found that as a pretty decent soldier (years of TFC help!) I run out of rockets without even spamming them. The ammo boxes give you far too few (4 on the most common small boxes) and you cant always find or get to an enemy's fallen weapon, or risk moving there.
