Minh “Gooseman” Le, creator of the almighty Counter-Strike, is gearing up to launch his new shooter, Tactical Intervention. The game is set to enter beta in the first half of this year with a worldwide release sometime thereafter. Published by FIX Korea, Tactical Intervention will once again focus on team play. The game utilizes the Source engine and pits terrorists against counter-terrorists inÂ “modern battle.” Gee, this is sounding awfully familiar. Tactical Intervention will also feature “real-like” weapon and character design, K9 units and hostage NPCs that aren’t morons.

“Counter-Strike-type of game is proven to be a success throughout regions such as Asia, Europe, and North America,” commented Le. “It is quite challenging to balance between bringing out familiarity and new system at the same time, but I can guarantee you will have fun paying it.”
