If PGI has enough developers to, could they possibly create singleplayer DLC for MW:O out of the old Mechwarrior campaigns? Remastered campaigns from MW2,3 and 4 would be a fantastic addition to this engine.....

The question isnt if they want. The question is more:
- Do they have time? No, because the MW5 development.
- Do they have the money? Only Russ knows
- Can the do that? Maybe if they want go through the legal hell of rights and licensing process.

I don't think they have the rights to those old campaigns. So they probably can't. Not without changing them enough to not get sued. : /

Wouldn't it be way better to use MW5 for that?
MW5 is supposed to be single player, MWO the multiplayer part.

Hell PGI never even succeeded in adding some lore flavor into MWO, and q lot of stuff you could just copy n paste from Sarna anyway.

Also I'd like to think UE handles what they want to do better anyway, including building bigger maps.

Lastly, it's not a new idea at all.

Aww come on, like you couldn't make those campaigns different enough not to trigger a lawsuit, like they did with unseen Mechs.
Doenst need to be a carbon copy word by word.

If mw5 is moddable, I would leave it up to independent modders to "remaster" old campaigns.
Their heart would be in it. NOT our shriveled wallets.
Frankly that's what we need. More heart.

Is this a joke? Do yo know how much time and money that would cost?
