Roman numerals are numerals that replace the normal Arabic numerals. They use letters such as
I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Each letter has a value and cannot be repeated more than 3 times. A bar over a roman numeral means it has been multiplied 1000 times so you don't have to write numbers that are like 20 numerals long.

Kyle: "Ah got it. Yeah not only does that game suck, but you're right, the naming is so stupid. How many times you wanna bet that someone talks about the 'original' Modern Warfare 2 and some dude who never played it thinks they're talking about Modern Warfare: Roman Numeral 2?"
