With the small amount of leaks/rumors, I have seen repeatedly that mw4 will actually have the number 4 in the title and not a IIII Roman numeral. What do you guys think the chances are they are doing a daring jump backward to create a sequel for original modern warfare series?

I highly doubt this is the case but I just wanted to see few comments and discussions for what this could look like, what benefits would it present, and what would be necessary for it to succeed? What would your reactions be, how would it shape differently than rebooted mwIIII?

PS: if you don’t know already, mw3 (2011) has an alternate ending, a secret cliffhanger found in the game files where Price sees a shadow emerging from behind the hanging dead carcass of Makorov.
