When I see an Atlas I always try to hijack it. Unfortunately I have a rather high failure rate, they die so darn easy, once inside of one with even a 1/3 health though I tend to have a lot of fun. Now this may be in part due to nostalgia. I'm not sure how many here have played the mega man x series but they were some enemies that used powered armor and if you killed them before they suited up you could use the armor for a while.
I believe it would have been nice if Shepard would have manage to recover an atlas and perhaps had the ability to use it in some missions. I'm thinking something along the lines of a defensive mission. However to make it challenging you'd not only need to destroy the enemy but keep them from getting past you. This would add some difficulty as the player would have to compensate for the slow mobility of the machine. Say for example you're defending some civilians and you need to prevent husks from reaching them while dealing with some brutes.
With constant use the novelty would probably get old but if the atlas does return in mass effect ? I hope we get more opportunities to make use of it. After all surely the Normandy could have fit one of the hijacked machine into it for future use. Also I would have liked to see Rex driving an atlas.
