Hey guys, not sure if this is the right subforum but I couldn't find a fitting one...

I've stopped playing MWO quite a while ago, it was not too long before the whole clan wars thing launched (I remember the discussions about it). So right now I'm installing it again and I guess quite a lot of things have changed. So what major changes can I expect? I mean just the big stuff, I'll figure the rest out by playing a bit I guess.
Before my pause my mechs were a few jenners and firestarters, a jager (dunno which one but that does'nt matter too much for jagers anyway), two hunchies (-p and -g) and a ctf (can't remember the type, just that it's currently a 4LL build). Any tips you could give me specifically for the mechs I play?

Thanks in advance, hope to see you ingame.

Lots of big stuff... If you quit before the official CW launch, then it's quite a bit. search around and read the patch notes.

Big news lately is that there are some actual game modes now. Not just skirmish clones.

(Now there are almost-skirmish clones...)

Honestly . . . nothing much!
New mechs.
Both public matches and CW only a few new maps, 1 new gamemode, but all 4 are still boring, repetitive gameplay, etc.

Brace yourself for a 100+ gig download.

Not a thing. Having a bad night. Sorry.

I have never seen so many "running into walls", "milling about aimlessly", "can't hit a stationary mech from a stationary mech" players in my life.

a LOT! including flamers are now BUTANE CRACK TORCHE LIGHTERS!!! and not actual flame throwers anymore, tighter gfx on lazers, (was "heat vision " still green back then? cant remember, now its dark and greys) higher quality skin rez's a LOTTA popcorn going through drama, a lack of mechbeys as 'event' rewards, PENALTIES all around for the silliest of things (as well as a few needed ones)

WORST 2 of all, removed mode tic (to stop separating the player pool so they said only to,,,) introduce a fkd up tier system guanteering that a LOT of players will never face each other (creating a worst seaperation of player pool T1 cant face off vs t4-5r, t5 cant ever face t1-2 you do the math as no tier 'should' drop with anyone more then 2 tier diff, oh and ofc the division between ppl who cw only, and ofc those who refuse to bother with it as is, and waaaaaay more, oh yah and QUIRKS!!!! read up on those and laugh then cry till you puke from laughing again

I should also point out that, while MWO still has issues, you should always take hyperbolic posts, like the poorly written and English-challenged post above, with a grain of salt. Chances are, they aren't as bad as they make it out to be.

Lots of Clan mechs. Lots of Clan nerfs. Lots of IS buffs, Lots of IS Nerfs
Lots of new mech packs
Flamer got a weird buff that was also a nerf.
New maps
QUIRKS!
Ghost Heat?
7 Gig worth of 2k textures

Not according to his previous posts, though.
