I don't know which class I took on the 360 version, I had a charge attack and pull attack and charge was useless in my experience(due to which I never upgraded that shit), pull was much better. I played as a soldier in the ME 2 demo for the PS3 and it was a lot more entertaining with the sniper rifle so early on in the game.

 Charge is another skill that's only useless if you're terrible. The idea behind it is that it puts you into melee range, which doubles the damage from your shotgun, and more than that it refills your shield when you use it. Its cooldown is also notoriously short, especially if you take Champion.

It's easily the most effective power in the game outside of maybe Adrenaline Rush, especially on lower difficulties.

Does veteran difficulty count as a lower difficulty? The one that's recommended for the first playthrough? Coz that's the difficulty I played through and I found charge shit. The shotgun was lame as well to my play-styles. I preferred the smg and the cannon pistol(or whatever its called). And Assault rifle of course. I got the sniper too late to care about it.

Yes, Veteran counts as a lower difficulty - the higher difficulties are Hardcore (which I never played) and Insanity (which I've beaten with every class but Engineer).

You found Charge shit because you weren't using it correctly, ditto shotguns. That's all there is to it. Charge is there to make shotguns more effective and refill your shields while increasing your ability to move around the battlefield.
