Forgive me if I'm late to this particular party, but has there ever been any discussion of adapting (see thread title) MechWarrior 2 to MW5? Like... MechWarrior 5: The Refusal War?

PGI sure ain't gonna do it.

And IMO I'd rather have a remastered/remade MW4 Mercs or MW3.

Honestly, this'd be best for after the Clan invasion dlc, whenever that happens.

Clicky: March 2021 video:
http://mwomercs.com/...iness-decisions
PGI says need to demonstrate to Micro$oft good MW5 sales, (EG7? PGI? Sold Out?) negotiate new multi-year extension to MechWarrior franchise, and assuming enough funds for development, can consider to develop new MWO2.

Phil speculated on his own personal capacity and he guesses that July 2025 is the contract end-date for PGI/MechWarrior, and he indicated that he feels "not enough time" to develop MWO2 and turn a profit by then, from a business point of view.

Separately, Russ had in an earlier video (before the date of this video) had admitted that "it is not technical feasible" to make MW5 multi-player, hence cannot port MWO into MW5. (OK, I paraphrased this).

Executive Summary: there is currently no ETA for MWO2.

Maybe there is a glimpse of hope...



Yet I prefer MwO designs over classic.
