The Team Fortress 2 Beta is a beta version of the game open to all TF2 owners, released on December 2, 2010. This is the second period of beta testing, the first one occurring before official release of the game. The Beta is used for, 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 participating in the beta will automatically receive all unlockable weapons for testing purposes. Random items drops are also turned off, and the store is not available during beta play.
