Argo was my first released work at Bohemia Interactive alongside Malden terrain for Arma 3. Several locations on Malden were selected for PvP modes and built according to provided metrics. As the aim of Argo was originally e-sport community, we had to pay extra attention to timing, access points and gameflow of each location.
I was always interested in level analytics and the project lead gave the chance to achieve my vision. My mission was successful and Argo was the first game of Bohemia Interactive where level designers used heatmaps and other analytics data to improve their levels.
