Ahhh, I get it now. They throw the game breaking stuff right into the actual game where it can do some damage, and put all the fixes that make the game more playable into the Beta. I was confused for a little while.

Oh Valve... What have you done...
 
I like some of the stuff valve is doing with some of these weapons and making old weapons better ect. I totally agree with the airblast being restricted and like the flare, cant wait to see it in game :).
