>>9126736Not to spoil anything (it happens in the very first level, and expanded upon in the second level), but Cobra takes over the USS Flagg, and other Joe bases, then release an EMP wave, by daisy-chaining satellites as relays, to affect most electronics besides their Cobra equipment, which they outfitted with an “immunity jammer” (I’m paraphrasing, as it’s been a big since I’ve played). Cobra then captures any Joes they can find, and they capture quite a lot of them. Cobra then, basically, becomes the ONLY ones with power, literally and metaphorically, making the world bend to their will.
Then some other stuff happens, and the plan elaborates further, stuff that then actually would spoil the story. It’s a rather simple story, huh there are some nice twists that I didn’t even see coming, having basically knowing the story before I went and played and beat it.
