Well, Energy Mode is only for camping, so you regenerate energy. A match for me is like that : I cloak up, run around, see that the energy is low, run to a corner/safe place, deactivate cloak, crouch, camp till my energy is full again, cloak up and run around. Energy Mode isn't a mode, it's the nanosuit without any mode activated. I'd wish to disable energy actions (running, power jumping) in stealth mode and make Energy Mode a lil' bit faster than stealth mode. Since stealth is part of the game, but overused, armor mode is just for battles and energy mode when you are OUT of energy. So the basic mode is stealth, and that's just wrong!

looking at the fact that PS3 users have pretty much never bin able to try this online...well i have no idea how it is now after all the patches/changes

The Power Mode isn't useless. Goddamn, it's the only mode, where I can run around without wasting energy. It depends on the playstyle. And when you like to only use it, when youre out of energy (what I think is total lame, btw), it doesn't mean everyone else does so.

what do you mean energy mode? the recharge bar? its sorta there to make people think or let noobs die cause they can't monitor the bar,
its obvious you never played the first one.

Energy Mode is the mode when nothing is activated. In the trailer of Prophet, after the first level in the submarine, you can see him using "Energy Mode" to rip off a HMG. Yeah, you use Energy for that, but I mean...it isn't a mode, it's "No mode". Not Energy Mode. Of course, you can run longer etc but it's not a mode lol. :<

I don't think you understand what camping means... it means that most of the time in match you spend in some hidden corner waiting for other players (who are unaware of you) to jump in front of your barrel. You can camp in every suit mode, and with every suit upgrade...

What you're calling 'energy mode' is actually 'power mode'.

..and power mode is not the default mode, nothing is. You can tell when power mode is activated on your HUD.

That being said, we need normal sprint back as a feature, and then more speed in power mode. Getting all your energy shot away when you're not even running particularly fast is just lame.
