Quite some time ago there was an issue where if you engaged Biotic
Charge for Vanguards in multiplayer while dying, your corpse would go
shooting across the room. While this was quite humorous, it had little
noticable effect on gameplay. It was also patched out and fixed over
time.
But recently me and my friend has discovered another similar, yet much more sinister bug.
If we do a "Dead Charge", as we've started to call it, we would
start experiencing effects similar to lag which would worsen
exponentially during the match.
First our character would hop around a little bit, or run around a few centimeters above ground level.
This would then go over to running around a meter above ground, and taking cover *on top* of cover instead of behind it.
Finally we'd fall through the map, hang in the air 20+meters above ground or any combination of the 2 previous problems.
This renders the match unplayable, creating much frustration and lack of enjoyment.
I have really grown fond of the Vanguard class, especially since the
Infiltrator was nerfed so substantially, but this issue is causing both
me and my friend great grief.
Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.

It's a common bug, happens in about 40% of vanguard matches, I'm afraid. And you don't even have to do a Death Charge to have it happen, it can happen without it :-/
I think BW is working on it. Same thing happened to me with a Vorcha Sentinel once, but it happens way more often with Vanguards.
On a happier note, if enemies kill you while you're freefalling, you tend to autorevive, and if you have an N7 slayer, you can use your biotic slash to kill some enemies if they walk close enough to you. Also I once tanked a banshee when i was freefalling for my other squaddies to kill, as she kept attacking me and I kept autoreviving lol.
These side effects aside, I would also like this problem to be fixed!

I definitely agree with that. It has even happened where I finished the map freefalling and all, and I was kicked out of the score screen without getting anything for the match.
But the experience itself is the most annoying.
My buddy and I theorised that it might be linked to ping and connection, because the likelihood of it happening seems to reduce dramatically for the one who hosts the match. Or we might have just been lucky at that times.
