The game takes place in modern-day with a series of conflicts between three hostile factions. A proxy war and a civil war in Georgia also begin. In order to prevent another Cold War from happening, players must take control of a retired American marine named Jonathan North as he proceeds to Georgia to find and eliminate its intruder, with whom he shares a dark past.
