Could you build this?

No Re-implementing complete game mechanics, physics, netcode, and asset parsers for MW2, Skate 3, and Minecraft in a unified Rust game engine demands elite game development and graphics engineering skills.

What it would actually take: This necessitates writing a custom 3D game engine in Rust (using wgpu or Vulkan), reverse-engineering proprietary asset file formats and animations from IW4 and Skate 3, implementing an Anvil map parser for Minecraft, and building robust deterministic physics and client-server networked multiplayer replication.
