The Assassin.

I had that happen yesterday. No lunging or dashing AT ALL. It just showed an empty dash bar. I could still smoke bomb and cloak, though.

Yeah I have had the stutter step issue as well, its really annoying.

but by far the most common and most annoying issue that I keep experiencing is when
the assassin spawns with no sprint and it wont recharge.
Dieing usually fixes this but I have had a 5 life chain of no sprint before and it was really frusterating especially since I could not get close enough to people to kill them or use the lunge.

I gave up on playing MNC because I couldn't play assassin, the only class I really like. I live in Sweden so getting host or finding people near me is difficult, most of the time I got american hosts. But after a while you get used to it, I've had some of my best games when I couldn't even grapple reliably. It would be great if we could get find local games like you can in Black Ops, even if there's not nearly as much people playing this game it would be nice if you could get a host on the same continent. I'm gonna try to play this again because I love the game, but if it turns out like it did before I'm not sure I can keep playing.

If there's a MNC2 I hope Uber takes some resources to pay for dedicated servers, it might not remove all lag but at least it will remove the host advantage.
