Several months ago we reported that the creator of the original Counter-Strike, Minh "Gooseman" Lee, was working on an all new multiplayer shooter called Tactical Intervention. This morning we received a press release from the game's publisher FIX Korea announcing that the game's North American web site has launched and that they will take sign ups for a closed beta test on May 14

The closed beta is expected to last two to three months before the game itself is release later this year. The game's European publisher Mayn Interactive will also have their own closed beta which will run around the same time. As we have reported before Tactical Intervention is like Counter-Strike in that it involves team play with terrorists and counter-terrorists. It will have some new features such as better AI civilians and support for using dogs, helicopters and more.

It's been a few months since we have heard anything new about Tactical Intervention, the upcoming Source Engine-based mulitplayer shooter from Minh "Gooseman" Le, the creator of the original Counter-Strike mod. Today word got out that Mayn Interactive will be handling the game's publishing and the game will be released via the Mayngames.com web portal sometime this summer.

Mayn has already launched a teaser site for the game as well as a Facebook page. Folks who post on the Facebook site will be eligable to win access to the game's upcoming beta test which will begin "soon". Minh Le himself is answering a few questions about the game from fans on the Facebook page.
