2015: The State Police becomes the lead agency in a massive law enforcement manhunt for two escaped prisoners of Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. Two prisoners, Richard Matt and David Sweat, both serving time for murder, used power tools to cut through concrete walls and steel piping allowing them access to under ground tunnels. During the early morning hours of June 6, 2015, they followed the tunnels under the exterior walls of the prison and to the street outside. More than 1,500 law enforcement officers are used for the manhunt and law enforcement followed up on over 2,500 leads in an extremely rural and heavily forested area just south of the Canadian border.

On June 26th, police receive reports of shots fired near Route 30 and a driver of a RV advised police that his camper had a bullet hole in the side of it. There is a sighting of a man in the woods and a U.S. Customs Tactical Team confronts Richard Matt. A shootout ensues and Matt is killed by members of the tactical team.

Two days later, a sergeant with the State Police observes a man walking in a field close to the Canadian border. The sergeant identifies the man as David Sweat and attempts to stop him when the prisoner flees towards the woods. The sergeant shoots Sweat in the torso and takes him into custody, ending the manhunt.

The city is a major coastal city located in a unidentified state in the Southeastern United States. Cottonmouth is much more modern, cleaner, and safer than Carcer City, with skyscrapers in the City Center, as well as domiciled houses and blocks.

Being in a humid-subtropical zone in the southeastern region, palm trees, banana plants and Yucca plants are commonly seen throughout the city. Many of the houses in residential districts are surrounded by palm trees and other trees native to the region. [3]

Due to its geographical location, Cottonmouth is very often at risk for hurricanes and is commonly affected by tropical or subtropical cyclones. This real-life fact is used as a plot device to explain the derelict-looking residential areas between the flashbacks and present day events in-game.

As being located close to the Gulf of Mexico, the city experiences thunderstorms very frequently. Ironically, the present day events of Manhunt 2 are only made possible due to an inconvenient thunderstorm.

During the flashback events set around the year 2001, Cottonmouth is a very clean and safe place. However, in the exact same year, a major serial killer hunting would take place after a malfunction in a bioweapon manufacturing-related research experiment conducted by The Project.

The test subject, former San Fierro-based doctor Daniel Lamb[4] volunteer of the experiment, was implanted a "personality sample" of deceased high-skilled government agent and hired assassin Leo Kasper, resulting in a major personality clash inside his mind with the late assassin trying to overtake his mind.

After the assassination of The Project's main financial contributor Stanley Grex in the middle of the Maibatsu Plaza by doctor Lamb (under control of Kasper), a wide-spread manhunt occurred in the residential areas of Cottonmouth, resulting in the imprisonment of Lamb/Kasper.

While there are no known subway lines in the city, the Watkins Trainyard is located in the industrial zone, near the Ten Four Trucking company warehouse, implying the city has a functional railway system. The trainyard is located under a unnamed elevated expressway.

A Daschund Buses company was originally planned to appear in Manhunt 2, but was cut during the development. According to logo seen on Steven Walsh's portfolio, the motto of the company was "Cottonmouth's Premiere Public Transport". It was the third concept iteration of the Greyhound-inspired company, after Whippet Express Coach in GTA III and the cut Dash-hound in GTA San Andreas.

Unlike the CCPD in the previous title, the Cottonmouth Police Department don't play a major role in the storyline, making minor appearances in the present day events and being dispatched to capture and kill the Maibatsu Plaza serial killer (a.k.a. Lamb/Kasper) in Wooddale.

Wooddale Community Enclave

Typical southeastern neighborhood. According to Wooddale residents, there hasn't been a major incident in the area for 8 years, until the local police was dispatched to search for a cold-blooded serial killer who was reported to be on the loose around the area.

Red Light District

The city's pleasure district is hosting several legal prostitution and sex-oriented businesses, such as sex shops, strip clubs, and derelict adult entertainment businesses. Home to BDSM creeps and rising necrophiliac street gangs, the area is used for recruitment for The Project.

While the Manhunt series is part of the same shared universe as the Grand Theft Auto series' 3D Universe, the city is never mentioned by name in any GTA title. However, several brands from Cottonmouth's Red Light District are advertised in a promotional website for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Some of the drugs manufactured by The Project, sex shop products and other in-game brands also exists in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series, as they appear in Grand Theft Auto IV, as a alternative reality version of those brands (for example: H4PP1 and Hingmyralgan were not created by The Project in this reality).

Manhunt provides an intriguing look at two pivotal weeks in history, combining the historical drama and police procedural genres in a way that works surprisingly well from a dramatic perspective, and better than you might expect.

Five days after the end of the Civil War, Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth conspires to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William Seward all in one night. When Lincoln is killed, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton organizes a manhunt to bring the assassin to justice, all the while realizing that the conspiracy may run much deeper than he thought.

Stanton pours liquor for himself and Seward to celebrate the end of the war, though neither is shown drinking. Booth and other patrons drink at a bar, and Booth drinks from a bottle of whiskey while a doctor treats his broken leg.
