This update is fucking hilarious because nobody realizes how horrible of a weapon that laser canon is. It moves at about two miles per hour and the Soldier basically has to completely stop moving for a few seconds to do any decent damage with it. It might as well be a giant sign that says "please headshot and/or backstab me as I am immobile and not paying attention to my surroundings"
I'm kind of relieved Valve did this, because before last night everyone was spamming the Liberty Launcher. Fast rockets with no splash are fine, and slow rockets with lots of splash are annoying, but managable. However, fast rockets with normal splash, pretty much for free, are some fucking bullshit. They have one less shot, I guess, but they're less likely to miss, and it only takes two good hits to kill most classes.
If the Cow Mangler pisses you off, here's what to do: Go Scout, then equip the FaN, pistol, and Atomizer. You now have a quad jump, which is almost as good as a jetpack. I basically wreck everything with this setup, and most Soldiers are whores for splash damage and can't actually hit a moving target.
Now that I think about that, the Engineer could get a jetpack.
