Could you build this?

No Re-implementing a AAA multiplayer game engine in Rust with Bevy, including reverse-engineering proprietary Call of Duty 4 asset formats, network protocol, and physics, is an extreme systems engineering feat.

What it would actually take: Requires reverse-engineering Infinity Ward IW engine formats (fastfiles, .iwd, xmodels, xanims, BSP maps) and network protocol packets. Implemented in Rust on top of Bevy ECS, custom WGPU rendering shaders, prediction/reconciliation networking, and proprietary physics reimplementation.
