TF2Tightrope was a collection of three server mods and additions that varied greatly between each-other. They were referred to as "projects", and there were exactly three: Beta, Ghost and Trade. At the beginning of 2018, the original group began shutting down, and thus retired the projects. The projects are still available for download and use.

Project Beta
Project Beta was TF2Tightrope's main venture. It aimed to be a community-run version of the official beta by testing out new weapons, maps, game modes and balance changes. By equipping any of the weapons shown below, the new functionality would automatically be in effect. The same weapon model is used for seamless integration and to eliminate custom file downloading.

Project Ghost
Project Ghost (also known as "Equally Randomised") was a game mode by TF2Tightrope very unlike Project Beta. It was an Arena mod in which every player is given the same stock or custom weapons (with stock models), and the time limit is stricter, often being two minutes in which the last minute is "Sudden Death" (not to be confused with Team Fortress 2's Sudden Death) where all players begin to lose health. Each class and weapon combination (referred to as a "mod") is thematic, and these combinations are determined by the server running the game mode. Some mods bear more resemblance to Class Warfare, as in each team is treated separately. [citation needed]
