Yes, decipopping is a big reason the TR maxes really suffered from lockdown. Plus the ridiculously long animation to get your fat ass up and pull the spikes out of the ground. You're usually dead by the time the animation is done.
The fatsuit is awesome but I think they botched it bigtime when they added 40 round clips, then a capacitor, then stealth buffed the already very versatile and powerful Reaver(though the Reaver's former grunt spamming abilities were the reason to camp the living shit out of them to begin with). They should have left well enough alone, but oh well.
Lockdown would need to be quicker and be sheer death to anyone in front of it. Everything in game needs a weakpoint and getting behind one should be it. The majority of the playerbase would prefer some other MAX ability and it would probably be better to ditch lockdown because the only way to make it feasible is to overdue its offensive capabilities(which will never happen).
