Breakin's post about bracing up heavy weapons reminds me how much I loved playing Space Marine, and also how well the bracing system worked.
Before bracing, the Heavy Bolter was a slow firing weapon not that dissimilar from the Assault HMG. Once you braced, you could open up with the full RoF, locking down pathways and denying anything. You were vulnerable up close and at extreme ranges (easy headshots) while braced, but you were NOT something to be taken lightly.

Out of all the suits, the Sentinel was only one that was reliant on teamwork and support; no equipment meant they weren't sulf sustaining, bad at E-War meant they had to very alert, slow speed meant they were vulnerable in the open. As they should be.
No other class was forced to rely on others quite so much.
Not to mention that Sentinels had the lowest WP generation rates since they only thing they could reliably do was kill.

Bracing with a Heavy Bolter normally takes around 2 seconds to set-up, the perk makes it about 1 second, meaning you're a more mobile fire support. Downside is that, since you only had two perk slots, you had to miss out on something else, such as extra ammo or armour regen.
Firing on the move also generated more heat per shot compared to braced fire. So, on the move, you were often better off with your side arm unless you were really good/lucky in encounters.

Fox Gaden wrote:2 seconds to get into a full Brace (crouch) in a PVP environment might be a little much. Isn't that about the reload time on a sidearm? Maybe 1 second would be a good balance? That should be enough to make a full Brace a proactive rather than a reactive move. Maybe with a Skill allowing you to reduce it to 0.5 seconds.
1 second is enough time for a reactive brace in Space Marine,
2 seconds means having to set up in advance and wait for targets.
Perhaps 1.5 base set-up time, reduced to 1 second.
