The gel layer inside the armor probably has enough space between it and the armor itself to allow the Spartan to breath. I also believe that the effects like shields on Armor Lock are just made for multiplayer. Actually locking armor is just a safety procedure when in free fall for example. It doesn't protect the user from anything that can pierce the armor. That also means the air intake system can just normally take oxygen from the air.
Canonically armor abilities aren't very good idea in general. Spartan wouldn't need any extra devices just to sprint or dodge.
The one problem with people claiming that the various affects of the AAs being only for multiplayer or gameplay, if that was the case then Bungie would probably have said so, or not made up any sort story/explanation for the AAs and their functions.
The Sprint AA doesn't allow a Spartan to sprint/run, it neutralizes a speed limiter in place allowing the Spartan to run at much higher speeds, the Sprint AA probably is affected by gameplay, as all of Noble Team but six can use the Sprint and Armor Lock AAs at the same time, but it's still canon that it allows a Spartan to temporarily deactivate the limiter and travel at a much higher running speed than normal for a few seconds.
Evade probably is affected by gameplay somewhat too as the Elites can use it and Armor Lock at the same time, however, it too is canon, it's supposed to increase mobility or something like that.
Back on the subject of Armor Lock, it and its affects would not really be affected by gameplay. Also, Armor Lock the AA, and locking your armor, like what Jorge and Six did in the Falcon crash or Chief did after jumping out of the Dreadnought, are completely different things, the AA locks the user in place and basically super-charges the user's shields creating an EMP effect in a small radius around them, and it allows them to take much higher damage than they normally could because of the shield's super-charged state.
None of the Spartan-II's had to put on anything else than their default armor to be fully operational.
And how do you know that their top speed in Mjolner isn't even higher than what's listed, but it limited by the speed restriction to keep them from doing serious damage to themselves?
Because Kelly was the fastest Spartan, not Six with his sprint.
So what? Kelly would still be the fastest, give her the Sprint AA, she'll still outrun anyone. Six having access to an experimental AA doesn't make her the fastest Spartan.
