Given what you'd be doing (starting a new franchise based on a little-remembered pen-and-paper RPG that was written and based around now-known-to-be-false assumptions about the Cold War) and the resources it would require, the only two routes you could hope to go would be:
Develop it solely as an online team shooter, at which point (in my opinion) you might as well just play 8-player DOOM. Six months after launch anyone serious about it will have ditched it.
Develop it solely as an MMO...and all the baggage that goes with that.
Develop it on the side as a fans-only project, which means it will at the very best sit in alpha forever, never being released. A few blotchy youtube videos and a "playable when console commands are invoked to make things work" will wind up as the only thing(s) that exist.
