This is Le’s new first-person team-based shooter. Publisher OGPlanet will release the free-to-play title, which goes into open beta on March 14.
Le is applying what he learned from his time designing Counter-Strike to make the game he always wanted. Tactical Intervention features attack dogs, rappel rope, and civilians which the enemy can take hostage.
OGPlanet will also run a closed beta from March 4 through March 8. Gamers can head to Joystiq to get access keys while they’re still available.
