| − | Well, it was not KritzKast first. First was [http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/08/19/interview-valve-on-the-future-of-team-fortress-2/ PC Gamer's interview]. [[User:Holek|Holek]] 20:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

| − | :::''PC Gamer: Are there any class updates that you’ve done that you feel you need to revisit?''
| |
| − | :::''Robin Walker:'' (...) ''There are systems in the game that are tuned to specific numbers. The amount of damage the sniper rifle does fully charged, for instance. On a headshot it’s specifically tuned to the health of the other class, so there would be damage numbers we’d need to change. It’s hard for us to run that test and get good data, so, '''we’re probably going to gear up the TF2 public beta again soon and make it publicly available to everyone who owns TF.''' We’ll start running some more wide scale experiments there.''

| − | Any reason the link to KK keeps getting deleted? If it's a case of not being able to qualify our source, well that's something we're not prepared to do. We promised annominity to He/She/It. But we will be proven correct on it [[User:Agro|Agro]] 22:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | : As far as I heard on the Podcast, it was just "very soon". We can't really put something here that isn't verifiable, so "soon" will have to suffice until any further announcement about a launch date. Not saying you're wrong, and not trying to be difficult, just that if it's not verifiable, it can't really pass as wiki content. -- [[User:Nineaxis|<span style="color:#FF8C00;font-weight:bold">Nineaxis</span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Nineaxis sig duck.png|12px]] 22:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

| − | Soon. Well, I suppose that the Open Beta's release date is farther than October 18, 2010, according to Valve Time. [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 03:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wouldn't the fact that Counter-Strike Source has an open beta be good trivia for the section? It shows that the TF2 beta wasn't first, and that Valve has done an open beta before.

| − | :Honestly, I don't think we need to note whether it's the first, second, third or fourth open beta. For the same reason we don't document that some hat is the 20th hat added to the game.-[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]] 20:35, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

| − | == WebAPI ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | There's an unannounced [[WebAPI]] for the beta (replace iTFItems_440 with iTFItems_520). Apparently there are now 3 Natascha variants: "Natascha", "Natascha Variant 1" and "Natascha Variant 2" - quite creative names. Additionally, I wonder if crafting and such is still enabled.

| − | Should we have a page of all the items that are available in the Beta? -[[User:KazooieBanjo|KazooieBanjo]] 03:12, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | : I think it is a good idea, the page will be huge if we put all the beta weapons here. Even if there is currently only 3 variants, it is something to take in consideration. [[User:Octocat|Octocat]] 09:35, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | : We shall work out out when we come to it. For the moment, the page is an OK size so we don't have to worry about it. -- [[User:Pilk|Pilk]] <sub>([[User talk:Pilk|talk]])</sub> 09:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Obvious things? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | It says the player gets "all promotional items their account should have". Are the Parasite and the Poker Night items not promotional items or why do they get mentioned seperately?
| |
| − | Same goes for "the complete Saharan Spy pack (including the Familiar Fez)". Is there a something I miss? For me it sounds like "Get all numbers from 1 to 9 (including 4).

| − | * I've started [[Patches (Beta)]] for a place for the patches themselves to be listed. Considering how minor beta patches may be (or how few of them there will be, we don't know), I don't think it's a good idea to have each one listed on a separate page like we do for TF2 patches. Having them all on the one page will be far easier. In the event that beta patches become a lot more frequent, we do always have the option to move them off into separate pages again.
