Free for All and Capture the Flag are self-explanatory. Team Deathmatch and Pick Up TDM are identical, though one allows parties and the other is for solo players that would like to be matched up with other similar individuals. There are five modes to try out in this beta: War, Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Pick Up TDM, and Free for All. Even so, there is quite a bit here to mess around with.

What this means for you and I is that the beta experience is not totally indicative of the final release and that the number of modes, maps and weapons made available is limited. The developers use them for testing servers, net code, and to help put the last finishing touches on the game in advance of its release. Public betas are primarily designed for testing purposes and this one is no different.
