Me and a few friends were thinking about trying he game again and I was wondering what is new?
I left a month or so after the batch of new mechs like the Locust etc. but before any clan mechs?
The pub stomping was horrific, the forums were very toxic, PGI did not give a crap and their wasn't many maps.
Is the game better or is it still not worth the bandwith to download?

Faction warfare has pugstomping though, and lots of it.
Otherwise the game is larger with more mechs and maps, and a new mechlab that actually ok, but a lot of the new content is badly implemented. Faction warfare is currently a complete mess due to a number of disastrously incompetent changes, the so called "phase 3" was very badly received and for good reasons.
If you're coming back for quickplay then yes quickplay is better than it was back then despite all the problems.
Forums are still a saltmine.

1. Drop in solo queue and hope your friends can "sync drop" into the same match as you.
2. Group up and be put in group queue where you can be eaten alive by larger groups (at least initially).
Oh,...and Community Warfare now has a much catchier name, "Faction Warfare", but essentially is the same. Except for the fact that they added a kink to it. You see they have this Long Tom Artillery that one side will control and every few minutes it drops an absolutely DEVASTATING explosion on any significant concentration of mechs and blows them all to hell and gone.
I believe that this was introduced in order to speed up the seal clubbing that normally occurs in this mode, saving the 12 man organized groups some time. So yeah, basically CW/FW is a graveyard at this point, don't bother.
On the brighter side, it's a long weekend!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
If you keep that in mind, then you won't really have any surprises.

also whatever you do, please avoid feeding the Trolls
put out snacks and mechwarrior buddah, Festus, Marack Drock and Restos and the rest of the council of 10 will come snapping.

There are units and players still active in FW. So if he want's to give it a go, then be sure to ask around and play with the bigger kids.

So far a few good things are new but game play feels the same.
Thanks again.
