CS Source had its beta. its first release and was tested.

Half Life 2 was tested Heavily in its beta form.

this is the Deathmatch's first release, comes with a couple test maps and thats it. Yea, id defently consider it to be more of a beta release then a final release.

And why does it sound like you think thats a bad thing? Beta or test releases are very good, most of the time it means they're open to suggestions and tweaks from people which make the game better.
