How would a MAX lock down ability fair?. The idea I have is that there is a cert or ability which a MAX can equip called Lock down, and this ability is similar to that of the Armour Lock ability in Halo: Reach, however it's more of a last resort survival measure rather than an immortality measure.
Take this scenario for example, you are ahead of your platoon as a MAX and you encounter a small squad of enemy troops and fighting ensues. Inevitably because of the numerical advantage against the MAX you're in trouble, however, if you were able to "lock down" your Armour, buying yourself a few seconds for your allies to back you up then you have a greater chance of survival than hoping there's an engineer with you.
The trade-off for this ability would be that once the lock down has passed you are unable to use your weapons for x number of seconds, so you cant jump out and get a kill or two before you die because Armour lock.
What do you guys think?
