Argo is a free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Bohemia Interactive. The initial prototype of the game, Project Argo, was released on 1 November 2016 as part of Bohemia Incubator.[1][2] The game was released as Argo on 22 June 2017.[3]

Gameplay

Argo is set on a fictional island called Malden (the setting of Bohemia's previous game Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis). Mercenaries are deployed to Malden by two rival factions and have to fight over the remnants of a crashed space station. The game is similar to Arma 3 but is less focused on realism and military simulation.[4][5]

Players can choose from multiple game modes. There is a mode called "Combat Patrol" in which players can fulfill procedurally generated tasks scattered across the island. Another mode "Link" is about fighting on a smaller scale, in which both teams have to hack a central computer. "Raid" is a battle of attackers and defenders. "Clash" is similar to "Link" but fighting takes place on a larger area.[3][6]

Argo also features a scenario editor. Argo's editor is limited in comparison with Arma 3.[7]
