Minh "Gooseman" Le is a guy you may not have heard of, but you probably know about a little game he co-created with Jess Cliffe called Counter-Strike. Well, Minh has unveiled his latest game and wouldn't you know it, it's a tactical-based FPS entitled Tactical Intervention.
Developed by FIX Korea and published by free-to-play group OGPlanet, Tactical Intervention sure does look a lot like Counter-Strike, but I suppose a modern tactical shooter set in the real world doesn't give you options for a lot of flair when it comes to art direction. However, there is the interesting idea of having vehicle missions which might freshen the genre up a bit.
Tactical Intervention is going to be free to play and there is a closed beta available for some North American gamers to try out. I hope this works out well for Minh Le but I gotta feel that he's in the unenviable position of trying to improve on a genre he pretty much nailed spot on the first time 'round. Still, we'll see what happens when Tactical Intervention launches later this spring.

definitely looks like CS to be honest.
hopefully new weapons and tone down the awp??
There is a thing called trading, you're welcome to use it to get the items you need. Plus that hat's like 1-2 refined these days, you'd have no problem finding it.
"However, there is the interesting idea of having vehicle missions which might freshen the genre up a bit." Soooo, Battlefield, then?
It looks pretty ass so far but it uses the Source engine so that could be why. Or maybe it's the lame model animations. Either way, I'll give the beta a shot and make a final decision based on that but in my experience, free-to-play games are usually shit. Especially azn-run F2P games.
Just sayin'
To prevent headshots you need the entire Croc-o-Style kit which includes:
1)Sydney Sleeper (replaces Sniper Rifle)
2)Darwin's Danger Shield (Replaces SMG, Jarate or any other shield)
3)The Bushwacka (Replaces Knife)
4)Ol'Snaggle Tooth (Hat)
The Sydney Sleeper REMOVES YOUR ABILITY TO DO HEADSHOTS! Darwin's Danger Shield removes your ability to fight close quarters and the bushwacker is only effective if you hit the opponent first with the Sydney Sleeper so it applies Jarate.
So...IT'S ACTUALLY LESS effecttive than a stock layout.
1000 hours in TF2 and you don't even know how to play the game.
Speak for yourself. I was way-deep into Half-Life mods back in the day.

I'm actually quite insulted by the implication that Gooseman, of all names, is one core gamers may not recognise. That's like saying people who like music may not have heard of Eric Clapton.
