I'm not sure if this is really a bug or a problem but I've noticed it quite frequently and figured bet to post. Vanguard is my favorite and primary class for multiplayer. I am using a build that uses charge and nova as my primary sorces of damage and defense. Charge in, nova, shotgun/melee, charge again. Needless to say I'm charging a lot.
I've noticed a problem arrise when fighting the Geth that doesn't seem to happen when facing cerberus or reaper forces. I can't seem to activate Charge propperly against the Geth. That isn't to say I can't charge but even with a target redicle on the foe who is with in direct line of sight, my charges simply won't activate. This results in me having to spam press the charge button and often try targeting different enemies with in the same group resulting in the same problem. Usually a charge /does/ go off (after 5-6 presses of the button) but typically enough damage as been done to me in that time that I usually don't survive the incident.
Am I missing some thing geth-spesific? what's causing this? As a result I don't like playing against the geth when I'm a vanguard as it forces me to play more like a soldier, sitting back and popping shots of oppertunity with my side-arm insted of rolling in with my biotocs and shotgun.

MASSIVE BUMP
I'm just doing the Geth Dreadnought mission and I'm throwing my mouse against the wall in anger right now.
I'm trying to charge an enemy, doesn't matter if Huner, Trooper, Rocket Trooper, whatever Biotic charge will not engage.
The enemy will have the red box around them and I will hit MB5 for biotic charge, NOTHING HAPPENS, it makes the "ding" noise and the icon flashes as it would normally, no cooldown engages, just nothing at all happens. You do still get the little closing reticule in the box to indicate you have actually pressed it however.
I have tested this be reasssigning keys, holding the pause menu and clicking on the skill, I've done everything and it only every seems to happen with Geth.
Please fix this because multiplayer is also getting really annoying. I worry everytime I enter random matchmaking for the XP bonus because if I get Geth, I lose.
Fix this ASAP!

Hehe thank you some one else!
I thought it was just me or some thing. I've gotten to the point that if the map is against Geth and I'm on my Vanguard I just quit, not worth it. Even if I'm hosting. So yeah... they should look into this one.

Yeah, it's insanely irritating.
I've done a bit more testing, using another power, shooting, entering/exiting cover, selecting another target DOES NOT guarantee the power will work, it is seemingly impossible to get it working reliably.

I actually had this problem occur to me too, and I wasn't sure if it was a bug or simply server lag. I started off the round I was in kicking ass and taking names, but after a while my Charge simply wouldn't activate even though I had an enemy targeted. This was also when I was facing the Geth. However, I also noticed that there were instances where I couldn't pick up ammo or climb ladders either.
Fortunately, the squad I was in succeeded in the mission, but all the trouble I was having prevented me from scoring more than what I did.

Given how many geth can now disrupt your charge in MP (hunters, rockets, primes,) being able to charge when you're *supposed to be able to* is even more vital. I really don't enjoy having a charge fail for no reason, followed by getting staggered by a geth, meaning that my charge is then locked out.
Equally irritating is getting locked out by a geth that should've been staggered by either my charge or my Nova, but wasn't.
