They could potentially continue the story. Mo matter what the ending, they all end in mass anarchy and rebellion against capitalism. They don't have to incorporate Menendez, he could be dead by the time the game takes place. Harper could have been killed between games without them explaining the cause, meaning he could have died in blops2 or in the time skip, same with the Obama sinking and woods dying.
