The rumours are beginning to spread around the competitive TF2 websites and Steam forums about a potential new version of Team Fortress 2 specifically tailored for the competitive scene. Recently, Robin Walker had an interview with CommunityFortress expressing interest in promoting competitive TF2

We're excited to see the steady growth of the TF2 competitive scene around the world, and we try to keep track of what we can do to help it. So far, most of that help has taken the form of feature additions to the game, but in the future I think we'd like to get more insight into what else we can do. In particular, I'd like to build some more bridges to organizers within the competitive community, which is something we've tried to do but still continue to have trouble with.

Apparently a select few competitive teams are working on fine tuning this new version of TF2, for 6v6 play. See original source here.

Oh and on Robin Walker's Steam account, under recent games you can clearly see evidence of this new game as Team Fortress 2 Beta (see screenshot below)
