Level 30 spec ops, and 18 soldier levels later.
I now has Soldier's humongus shield! Next up 24 for the body armor of shield absorbing bullets to refresh my shield power. Also I have a ability called backlash which reflect projectiles shot at mah shield. Think of it as a weaponskill that last 30 seconds. It'll last 60 seconds when I get my helmet at level 30.

I spent a lot of the thanksgiving weekend getting soldier from level 2 to level20. I had blood shot eyes this morning. Exp grinding in this game is tough, but it's oh so sweet.
I ran across a spec ops that was taking all of my usually easy kills. One juicy grim swarm choke point he ran past me (the tank), and out of sight. Then next thing I know the stream of mobs that are usually around 80 was like 20. He then took out like 80 crawlers by himself thanks to running ahead, and placing mines. I found out that he was in my clan (we have a little under 100 members). At the end of the game he had 270 kills and I got 15k exp out of the run
. But all in all, it did go quicker than usual (like 10minutes).
Edit: Vid finally up, no HD still. What am I doing wrong...
Edit:
Ding level 28. I know I said spec ops was a beast, but that was before I leveled soldier. This thing is a monster. Not only do I block, and reflect bullets, I dish them out and they cause so much damage. Before I was doing 500xp worth of damage per wrath magazine. Now I'm doing over 1000xp worth of damage per. I feel like I should start holding back, but when I dinged 28 I got access to a rocket launcher, which has a alternate fire that shoots mini heat seeking missiles that auto target enemies within range.
I think I quit Spec ops. Well it was fun being a spec ops while it lasted, but Soldiers don't have to spam ammo, it does more damage, get more exp, takes less effort, carry around a shield, and it has a stinking rocket launcher/grenades to toss.
