I pre-ordered MW5 and so far I haven't completed the campaign. I keep coming back to MWO. MW5 doesn't have anything near the challenge, the community, the fun. Update MWO's engine, throw a few mech's in and there will be a cash-cow renewed. Otherwise all I personally see is a slow decline.

Maybe made with Unreal Engine 5..
And made with PVE elements as well as PVP.. Focused on the pilot.. not the mechs..

Someone could ask Russ if they ever do another AMA or something.

For the looks, we have seen, with MW5, what the team can do with a more modern engine. Still how it looks is only one part. How well they can develop a MWO 2.0 from the ground up is what is importend.
They have to turn over every part of MWO, take a good look at it and figure out what works, what dosn't and how to go from there. Patching MWO isn't going to work in the long run I think.
There is so much stuff that needs to be taken into account and worked on that you could say its like createing another game and that while they still have to support MWO and patch and work on DLCs for MW5.
I have my doubts PGI has the resources, money as well as manpower, to do that. They had a hard time to develop MW5 while keeping MWO running. Adding a quite demanding task on top of that....don't see it happening.
As long as PGI isn't opening up MWOs development to modders or give them the option to turn MW5 into MWO 2.0 there will be very little in development.
Still I hope I am totaly wrong with that

Pretend we all got this updated/rebuilt/entirely new as MWO2 game using Unreal, etc.
So what makes anybody think that PGI wouldn't just PGI it?
We all know how PGI does things, and PGI knows we know. I was one of their biggest cheerleaders, and was happy to throw money at PGI to support the game. But I fear that at this point PGI has done too much damage in terms of customer trust and goodwill, that they wouldn't get enough buy in to make an update worth doing, and if they some how nevertheless managed it, it would be totally half-assed. They've pushed to many of their most ardent supporters away and I don't see many coming back, certainly not with cash in hand and a willingness to spend it, regardless of what PGI does with MWO or some theoretical MWO2.

I did say it would be easier to get new people to spend money, even in this neach, then getting the old ones to do it again.
That said, I might be willing to bit a little bit of money on a MWO 2.0 but realy just a little bit. Only to see how it develops and when it fails I don't feel like I lost something.

Drink enough and MWO is a fantastic arena shooter.
Drink copious amounts and it's a 24 player Battle Royale shooter.

I suggest to put some money into these.
at the end of the day, you'll have a nice mini; whereas waiting for PGI will net you .. *cough*
anyway, Crusader says "Hi there".

One could think they could use MW5 as base and turn that into MWO2 pretty easily?

If you're thinking of PVP like MWO, then it is entirely different. It isn't just about making robots shoot other robots, you need to think in terms of massive back-end client support and interface whereas MW5 is just peer-to-peer.
Even using MWO's back-end as a base, porting that to Unreal is a tough task, something that PGI has shown effortlessly that they're incapable of doing it without monumental screw-ups.
