The Team Fortress 2 Beta is a Template:W version of the game that is separate from Team Fortress 2 itself and is open to all owners of it. Released on December 2, 2010, this is the second period of public beta testing, the first one occurring before official release of the game. The current beta is used for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • testing and tuning various class, item, and weapon changes
  • testing map changes and variants
  • running higher level, game-wide experiments (like doubling player health)
  • testing new technologies without the risk of breaking the game

Players receive all achievement-related items, all promotional items their Steam account is entitled to, the complete Saharan Spy pack, the Gloves of Running Urgently, and any weapons that are currently under testing. Random drops, Trading, and Crafting are currently enabled. The Mann Co. Store, however, is not available. The current Team Fortress 2 Beta differs from the beta first released to any user who pre-ordered the game back in 2007, and is more similar to the closed beta from 2009.
