The Team Fortress 2 Closed Beta is a version of regular TF2 that includes experimental Beta items and features that are privately tested by competitive players in 2009. These weapons are not necessarily destined to appear in future versions of TF2, nor does their presence reflect the consensus or desires of beta participants.

On December 2, 2010, an open beta version of the game was made available to all TF2 owners, with the intent of testing new item variants without affecting gameplay in the official game.
