Would it not be great to have more realistic maps like in the volcanic map to have actual volcanic activity like tramers , earthquakes (time limit count maybe?), volcanic eruptions and ash clouds. While in the standard maps to have natural settings to have birds leaving disturbed forests caused by either fire or trees falling (approaching mechs). Also, environment norms and hazards like storms , hail, rain and comets.

These are simple Add-on but most are from MWLL references. The mod may not be as big as MWO but they had real good details when it came environment in mapping.

More stuff on the screen equals worse performance.

...plus...

Many people complain about the performance already.

...equals...

This being a Bad Idea™

So ... no, this should not be implemented.

Wouldn't that mean players can't take the already crazy battles when two teams collided? I think the game can take it, if not take out the option for high graphics. Easy fix, not only that but it adds more content for those who can handle high graphics.

PGI was mentioning how they found a way to make avalanches, so more environmental activity is probably coming in the not-too-far-future. I really like the idea of rain, or clouds going over the sun and reducing light. Normal things that make it seem more sim and less arcade.

Some things could, like an ocasional commet on HPG or small eruption on Terra Therma.. but not to much, for the above mentioned reasons..
