Train2Game students can watch the trailer for Tactical Intervention below.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is currently in closed beta, and speaking to The Train2Game Blog at last year’s EuroGamer expo, Valve’s Chet Faliszek said that beta testing is important to game development.

“It’s really important to us because we’re going to let that drive the release date, because we’re really looking to get the feedback from the community over the changes we’ve made.” he said.

“We’ve brought over some stuff that was good from Counter-Strike: Source and we’ve brought over some stuff that was good from 1.6, so it’s going to be interesting to see how the communities react.” the Valve game designer continued.

“Already we’ve got some positive feedback from some of the pros, but we’re telling the communities it’s not going to be either, it’s going to be something new so let’s play it, let’s give feedback and let’s go from there.” Faliszek added.
