OGPlanet announces plans to launch TACTICAL INTERVENTION on March 28th in North America, offering the chance to check out this free-to-play team-based first-person shooter from Counter-Strike co-creator Minh "Gooseman" Le. Those who can't wait can head over to Joystiq to request an exclusive closed beta key and the game's website says open beta testing will commence on March 14th. Here's word on what to expect of the game:

Developed by the legendary FPS designer, Minh Le and FIX Korea, fans have long-awaited the release of TACTICAL INTERVENTION since Le's departure from Valve years ago. Learning from his previous work, Le was able to implement all-new features that he had always wanted to work into an FPS. With the infamous Highway Mission, players will climb into the driver's seat, shoot hanging out of vehicle passenger windows, all while chasing after the same target. Players can also call in attack dogs to come to their aid, and even make use of tactical rappel ropes to gain the upper hand on the opposing force. They will also have to be conscious of civilians who can be taken as hostages and used as human shields. It is up to you and your team to strategize, execute, and eliminate your target. TACTICAL INTERVENTION places team-based tactics and hardcore, fast-paced gameplay at the forefront of battle.
