Game Is Lyf

Bohemia Interactive revealed during E3 that the game will have a "roleplaying feel to it"; with in-game events affecting the character as well as the entire campaign. An example would be terrorizing noncombatants and losing their trust, thus encouraging them to give away valuable information to enemy forces. The entire campaign can be played either offline (singleplayer) or online (cooperative play for up to four players). Harvest Red is set in autumn 2009 in a fictional post-Soviet country called Chernarus (Black Russia). The country is in a state of political unrest, with a western backed democratic government trying to hold onto power from pro-communist rebels, among the most powerful of the rebels, is the group calling themselves the Red Star Movement. Referred to by the locals as the "Chedakis". The Chedakis are led by Gregori "Akula" (Shark) Lopotev. After many months of civil war, the communist rebels fail to overthrow the current government and to set up the Socialist Republic of Chernarus. The Chernarussian government asks the west for help and the United States sends the U.S. Marine Corps via an Expeditionary Strike Group off the coast of Chernarus hoping that the Marine presence would deter the Rebels.

On September 21, 2009, as part of the coup, the Chedakis assault Strelka Village on the island of Utes. Overwhelmed, the Chernarussian Defense Force in the area who had set up an outpost at a bombed out church in the village attempted to fight off the attack. Unfortunately, the attack was too great and the outpost fell. As a result, the U.S. Marines were deployed to Utes to help recapture the island. A few days later, on board the USS Khe Sanh (LHD-9), the Marines prepare to deployed to Chernarus as part of Operation Harvest Red to quell the civil war and re-establish Chernarussian control. Under official documents, the troops are deployed as a peacekeeping force. Unofficially, they are to quell the Red Star Movement, and capture "Akula".

In preparation for Operation Harvest Red, U.S. Marine Corps' Force Recon are deployed into Chenarus behind enemy lines to weaken the defenses for the main force. Among the marines is Sgt. Cooper of Razor Team led by MSgt. Miles. Razor's mission was to conduct a raid on the town of Pusta to disrupt enemy communications in preparation for the main assault force. During the raid, it was revealed that the Red Star Movement have been conducting acts of genocide and war crimes in Chenarus.

The secondary task of Razor Team is to unite government Chernarussian Defence Forces (CDF) and the National Party (NAPA) forces, led by Prizrak who are hostile to each other at the beginning.

Dependent on whether Razor Team eliminated Prizrak who is opposing the alliance between CDF and NAPA and Lopotev, the campaign is said to have four different endings, ranging from complete victory to the elimination of Razor Team by the victorious "Chedakis".

The game takes place in autumn 2009 in the eastern part of a fictional post-Soviet state called Chernarus, particularly the region of South Zagoria and the remote island of Útes.
