Competitive Mode is the newest official game mode to be released in Team Fortress 2. The mode is accessible only by owning a Competitive Matchmaking Beta Pass or a Community or Self-Made quality item. If a player does not meet one of the two requirements, they can still access the beta during scheduled stress tests. The "Play Competitive" button will only appear if the player has associated their Steam account with the Steam Mobile Authenticator and has joined the official Fortress 2 Competitive Steam Group, even if they meet the requirements above. Like regular matches, any weapon and class can be used at any moment.

Gameplay

Competitive Mode will be a more refined version of the standard Multiplayer game mode, but has a much less chaotic and random nature than Public Matches. Once players join the game, they have the option to mark themselves as "ready" in order to start the game (Similar to the Mann vs. Machine game mode). Once a player marks themselves as ready, a timer will start counting down to the match start.

Ranks

Each player has a rank which can be leveled up by doing well in competitive matches. Players start at the rank "Fresh Meat" and can level the rank up as they win more matches.

Changes from standard Multiplayer

  • This game mode has a round-based match system with alternate announcer voice lines, an interactive winner's screen, and features less game modes than standard Multiplayer lobbies, but boasts a more exclusive and truly skill-based gameplay that revolves around superior strategy, positioning, and team communications over seemingly random engagements.
  • It is unknown at this time if any weapons or cosmetics will be banned upon full release, but this remains to be unseen.
  • The game mode currently supports 6v6. 9v9 is shown in the options, but is unusable.

Stress Test

The competitive beta is available to premium players when a stress test event is active. In order to participate, users will need to be in the official group and have the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator enabled. When a stress test is active, a Play Competitive button will appear on the main menu, with a Stress Test badge upon when the test begins.
