From the footage it actually looks like it could be a lot of fun...

no , looks like .... meh , even mw2 single player is more thrilling than this
(seriously this game looks BORING, thats right i said it BORING! bring on the hate posts..)

MW2 is entirely scripted, whereas this will be entirely down to how players choose to go through the maps. You can't really compare the two, they're two very different games.

Not even the MP side of MW2 can be compared - MW2 is more like Quake than anything realistic. I know that Tac Intervention and Counter-Strike are hardly realistic themselves, but they are considerably more realistic than COD games.

I don't want to start a flame war here, so to save everyone lots of trouble:
COD/MW2 - good but unrealistic weapon mechanics, linear levels which make the game play like a shooting gallery. MP focuses on grenade spamming
CS/TI - lacks ironsights but has reasonably realistic weaponry. The level design allows for more tactical gameplay.

[TheMiede]

lol @ cs being called realistic.

[Mephasto]

didnt Valve hire this guy? atleast according what Raising the bar book says about cs history.

[staberas]

yes, then the guy left

.....But the pressure was there for him to do something big; pressure he didn't care for. So Minh and Valve agreed to part ways on good terms (he still keeps in touch with people there), and he started his own project soon afterwards

Dont know about the gameplay, but graphics sucks for a 2009 game.

He wasn't happy what Valve wanted to do with CSS2 etc. So he left.

It's on the source engine no?

I'm sure it's still wip too, I think they only recently hired some more mappers. Either that or planned patch coming out only a while after release.

[Unreal_Me]

Yeah, for all those who complain about the graphics, L4D looked like ass too, until the dev team went from 10 people to 50 in the final months

You can't compare anything to Tactical Intervention because it's not even out yet so no one knows how it plays...the only dynamic thing I see in TI is the mention of the hostages acting realistically to fire fights, and that's probably just slightly advanced AI (they will more than likely just rely on a Nav mesh similar to the one in L4D, or maybe even simpler).

[BillyDa59]

Sounds like it's gonna be fun.

[bobthehobo]

You know what, good for him. The man stuck to it and pursued his dream, and years later, finally got what he wanted. Whether it turns out to be great or mediocre, my hat is off to you Minh.

[Meathead]

looks like a mix between CSS and Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

Im with Spas12 Looks good but looks wierd at the sametime my oppion it looks like it is going towards the Call of Duty Styling

[Naticus]

Tactical Intervention will be going into beta-testing soon and is likely to be released by the end of this year.

This is the last line of the IGN article from September 2009. Sorry to bump this topic but I think it is time to ask a few questions. If they are so close, why have we heard so little? Why has there been so little promotion of this game when the possibility of tremendous success is so great?

If the game lives up to expectations and becomes "the next Counter Strike" it will sell millions of copies and proliferate dedicated servers for years to come. So with a game that has so much potential, why keep it so quiet? Why do I get the feeling that this game is no where close to completion?

hmmmm...
