Has the end game stuff been added? Is there community warfare? Meaningful missions? etc.?

[Fut]

Yep.
It's all here, and we're all super happy!!!


Nah, just kidding.. Everything is the same as when you left, well besides 'tweaks'.

[Sennin]

Clan 'Mechs are released on 17 June but only if you pre-ordered them. Same old stuff, different year. Come back in another year and be disappointed all over again.

[WhiteRabbit]

Nope. Nothing changed so far. Come back in a year again and we will see...

[Ziogualty]

I'm still waiting for a decent UI and you ask for Community Warfare after just one year?

Damn... calling you optimistic is just an euphemism!

[Lonestar1771]

Nope, game is still ****

If you were gone for a year there have been some big changes.

Ghost Heat has been added (Paul's Rube Golberg approach to solving high pinpoint alpha)

1 fairly non buggy map (Crimson straights) that most people like has been added
1 fairly buggy map (Canyons) that many people like has been added
1 fairly non buggy map (Terra Therma "Mordor") that most people hate has been added
1 extremely buggy map (HPG Manifold) that people are pretty divided on has been added

about 10-15 mechs have been added some pretty cool.

Auto-cannons now have x2 max range not x3 max range.

PPCs now do 0 damage under 90 meters

Other minor tweaks have occurred mostly having minimal affect on gameplay

there are now 12 mechs on each team not 8

A simplistic private match system has been added (possibly best change so far)

A counterintuitive click and loading screen intensive UI has replaced the old one

TLDR
1 year of mechs added
4 months of maps added
1 week of balancing done
-1 month of progress on UI completed

Soon™

However, for the last several months, they've been mostly releasing on schedule and doing what they've said they will.
Furthermore, they've actually started tellling us when things are going wrong and why and if there'll be any delays.

They have stated that after June and the release of the clans (July onwards) that CW is their main focus.

Whether it'll happen or not... well, that's anyones guess really.

Actually so far they've released a bare bones UI2.0 and did not use any of the player feedback from the two public tests they ran.

And they released the launch module, which has added a VERY basic circa 1995 private match system, but unfortunately they got the rest of it completely wrong and had to redo it.

And it MAY be fixed in the next patch...maybe.

That needs to be written on my Comcast bill. At least I'd appreciate the honesty.

[Xmith]

A lot has changed. I'm not listing all the changes either. If you want to play, find a match and see for yourself. It's stupid to take someone's else's word on the state of gameplay in MWO. It is always best to experience it for yourself.

Don't be a forum warrior. Jump in have some fun.

[lsp]

NOPE, I just came back myself. Less period of time gone though.

[akke]

Thanks for the update guys, I'll check back again in a while, maybe CW this fall...

[wanderer]

New empty promises, same empty results.

You better just make it next spring to be on the safe side.

[Vassago Rain]

60 to 90 days.

Around same time next year would be good. Perhaps CW will run then without problems and PGI will have sold IS Clan Invasion Packages.

[TLBFestus]

There have been a lot of changes, many of them insignificant.
