Hello. I'm also sorta-new to Soldat, because I started a few weeks ago. It's a great game.

Hmmm...a rundown? It's a 2D multiplayer shooter. You control a soldier with jetboots. You have to complete objectives depending on the mode. Generally you kill everyone else.

More info: http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=454.0

Hey man, how's it going? I'm very glad you came across Soldat in your lifetime, as I believe it's definitely one of the best games of this decade.

There isn't much of a story, it's basically this: A few guys wanted to kill each other and you can be one of them. ;)

You run around in the game, fly with the jetpacks in your shoes, get to jump and do backflips, and kill with a wide variety of weapons. You can play against bots and other people in real life via multiplayer over the internet. You can even pimp up your Soldat player with colors, gold chains, multicolored jet flames, etc.

There are several game modes; some based around the manipulation of flags and others just for killing. Some modes are even team based (and these seem to be the most popular).

It's not just about killing though, there are several scripts (program customizations) that can be set into the Soldat Server to make ingame RPG's and other insanely awesome custom game modes.

I suggest you take the time to take a good look around this awesome community and be prepared to immediately get addicted and stick around for years to come. This isn't some shitty game or community that gets old, it stays interesting and fun forever!

That stands for your internet connection's reliability when connected to a Soldat server. When it is high (around over 150) you will notice lag in-game which makes you slower, much less accurate, and ruins your game. To avoid high ping, try to play in servers located relatively near you.

This game is so great that you for sure become soldat adict. ;d In my opinion first thing which you have to do is to read whole Manual. You can find it in soldat folder.

Offtopic: I'm glad that our comunity is newbies friendly. ;d

My advice: Never, as in never, whine. It will make you unpopular faster than a twitch can. Play for fun only, and never for the victory. Btw, welcome to the forums ;D

If you start playing Soldat you also minght notice it's high modding ability. You can change almost everything. You can find some good mods in modding forum here.  Example can be my signature.

Btw: Should be moved to another forum.

You can take it as something like this but I've gotta say I really didn't think about it when posting ;D. It's just improtant thing that it can be modded easily and no one wrote about that previously.

To do that it's best that you start playing Soldat more first to learn the way of the game and get good. Once you think you're good enough to seriously play with clan members in clan wars against other clans, post a topic here describing yourself after reading the clan application rules.

Believe me joining a clan this early is a mistake, i did so about twice cause all the clans i joined where bad choices, first play until you know some good players, from good clans, know them well, that's when you can work well with the clan. I'm talking from experience here, get good, get a good reputation, find a clan of which at least some members play on the servers you play on, and get acquainted. That's how you do it right.

Don't forget to use your secondaries and grenades as they're just as useful if not more than the primary weapons.

Zone, use the M72 Law!  It's the best secondary I think, and I love it. ;)

Haha, when I started playing my favourite weapon was the barret too, but then I switched over to the Steyr, and I have to say using the barret for so long has improved my auto aim, so keep it up!

And, welcome to soldat, if you wanna chill or hang out sometime, send me a PM. :D
