Could you build this?

No Refactoring a disassembled/decompiled proprietary game engine to scale netcode and memory allocations from 16 to 128 players across platforms requires hardcore reverse engineering and network architecture expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires reverse-engineering Halo: Combat Evolved's memory layout and fixed-size multiplayer struct arrays (player tables, object pools, packet sync structures) in C/C++. The developer must rewrite the network sync protocol, tick loops, and packet serialization from scratch to handle 128 concurrent connections without packet starvation or desync, while cross-compiling for Android, Linux, and Windows.
