Day 3 is World War Wednesday, featuring two Soldier packs.
The Mantreads are interesting. You get knocked around less by enemy forces and can goomba-stomp enemies. Slightly more useful than the Gunboats, but I don't see people using them for very long.
The Disciplinary Action is also interesting. In exchange for 25% damage on a class who never uses his melee, you can smack an ally to boost his and your speeds for a short time.
The Liberty Launcher is pretty much a cross between the Black Box and the Direct Hit. Faster rockets in exchange for one less loaded rocket. Not too interesting.
The Reserve Shooter is probably going to be stapled on every Soldier ever, since it increases weapon switch speed and mini-crits airborne enemies temporarily. Looks like a combo between Frontier Justice and the Degreaser. The less ammo loaded isn't a problem, since most Soldiers only use their shotguns to finish off enemies anyway (and since it mini-crits on juggled guys, you're probably not going to need the three shells)
The Market Gardener is also interesting. Guaranteed crits while rocket jumping. I don't see many people giving up their Equalizer, though (unless the beta nerf makes it into the game with this update)
