Team Fortress 2 Closed Beta was a version of Team Fortress 2 that included experimental weapons and features that were privately tested by competitive players in 2009. These weapons are not necessarily destined to appear in future versions of Team Fortress 2, nor does their presence reflect the consensus or desires of beta participants.
On December 2, 2010, Team Fortress 2 Beta was made available to all Team Fortress 2 owners, with the intent of testing new weapon variants and large-scale features without affecting gameplay in the official game.
