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