Yes your vanguard can wield the same weapons as my soldiers. No that doesn't make your vanguard anywhere near as good at wielding them as my soldier. While you're using basic rounds and firing at a decent clip with Marksman I'll be over here adapting my rounds on the fly to the enemy type and firing faster and more accurately with adrenaline rush while also making it easier to avoid enemy fire.
Yes the other classes have nice toys, but you're sadly mistaken if you think they can play soldier anywhere near as well as a true soldier. It's a unique style of gameplay. It might be closer to normal FPS's than the other classes (but bullet time and changing ammo means it's still very different from playing, say, call of duty), but that doesn't make it bad.
