Giving people a mode without ego powers can really only be a benefit, Think this is a really good idea, and you should definatly make a suggestion in the suggestions forums, if a similiar suggestion is not already there ofc.

I enjoy PvP in this game even though it is lackluster, and at the same time, I would like to see some diversity.
I think a mode with perks but no active ego powers would be a good option, as it might actually make some other weapons an effective choice, especially in quick match PvP. I wouldn't call this "newb mode" at all, I would call it, wanting more from PvP. Sure, shot-gun cloak whack-a-mole can be fun, but it gets boring kinda fast.
As it stands now, the majority of weapons in this game are not real options due to how superior ego powers make certain combos.
I mean, it's no contest: the most effective and commons weapons are shotguns (roflpwn), infectors (homing? in pvp? really?), grenade launchers and rocket launchers (don't have to aim well, good for revealing hidden rats, etc).
Sure, you see a sniper rifle or AR or whatever here and there, but they are few and far in between.
I like and use OC+shotgun and a few other weapon combos. Coupled with my paranoia I can usually do just fine, but again, PvP in this game leaves me wanting. Maybe this is just the way it is and will be, but it doesn't make for dynamic, enduring PvP content.
When PvP (at least here on the PC) is dominated by weapons that require little or no aiming or proficiency and weapons like infectors that track the enemy for you, me thinks your PvP is a bit... how do I say this so certain jek-heads won't choose to be offended by it... stupid? Wonky? Off-kilter? Lackluster? Busted?
I dunno, is what it is. I think it could make for some more engaging PvP, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I know not everyone feels this way, which is fine, but I know there are plenty that do :)
Hah, I would indeed love a 'classic' mode.
Everyone has specific load outs to choose from... with no ego powers.
I like this idea, for those who played crysis 3, they had a similar game mode which was essentially "Human" Mode. Ended up liking it better then the others where you ran around with a suit which made you invincible + lag compensation.
Probably would see a bigger variety of weapons being used as well.
Would be happy for any new mode just to have some.Barebones( cod name for no perk mode)sounds good it would stop alot of QQ.
Yep that exactly what I meanQuote:
