The long-in-development multiplayer shooter Tactical Intervention, after a fairly long period of silence, is now starting to show signs of life. The game, designed by the co-creator of the original Counter-Strike Minh Le, is now scheduled to begin beta testing for European gamers on May 6.

The game, which features multiplayer teams of terrorists versus counter-terrorists, was first revealed in the fall of 2009. In 2010, a closed beta test began for the US but shut down without the game itself launching. Now people in Europe can start signing up for their own closed beta test on the game's official web site.

It's been a while since we have gotten an update on Tactical Intervention, the upcoming multiplayer shooter created by Minh Le. the co-creator of Counter-Strike. Today the European publisher of the game Mayn Interactive announced that a closed beta test for the game will launch in that part of the world sometime before the end of 2010.

The game had a US closed beta test earlier this year but since then there's been no real word on when the game will launch in this country. There's also no word on what kind of content European beta testers will be getting for their own beta test.

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.
