Story:
Set during the events of Harvest Red, the player takes on the role of Peter Novak, a Private in the CDF. Akula Lopotev has seized command of the Chernarussian Communist Party in a violent coup and renamed it to the Movement of the Chernarus Red Star. He has declared war on the current Democratic government of Chernarus, and began a campaign of 'ethnic-cleansing' to rule out his competition. At first the CDF could contain it, but the ChDKZ slowly grew until they were overwhelmed. The President sent out a call for help, to which the United States sent the 27th MEU to Chernarus aboard the USS Khe Sanh.

I have discovered that YouTube personality monsterZERO (decep3107 on YouTube) has begun his own Let's Play of Operation Cobalt. As the creator of the campaign, it's very interesting to watch for me, but I'm sure others will enjoy it too! You can find his playlist containing it here: Youtube.com
Big thanks to monsterZERO for the PR!
